Awesome! Back at it again with another amazing barb build that I will use. Loved your last one and this looks super fun too!

[@flonyme8174]

Thank you again for the support! This one is not 100% locked down yet as some things are changing with our aspects next patch but I will get the build link up as soon as I am set in the changes.

[@vexo9028]

Dude such an awesome build. I played HotA attack speed last season very similar to yours except I used unbridled rage but I see I won't need to and azura looks so DOPE with the build you got. Thank you my good sir I know what I'm going for late game.

[@flonyme8174]

happy farming :)

[@oboyofreneo8384]

Thank you for making this new patch fun again. Hota barb is back!

[@flonyme8174]

Thank you for watching. your awesome.

[@flonyme8174]

Will release a build link as soon as the patch hits next week and I can lock down the build.

[@oboyofreneo8384]

Is there a link already?

[@Uncrystallized]

Did you do the thing?

[@mystic.eyes.]

Build link?

[@wilfredomembrere4999]

Playing HOTA also. I mixed up the passive that deals 100%x with the heart that uses hp instead of resource to get more slams. Started pretty slow but now my resource generation is good so I’m smashing good numbers. Currently at 70 and seeing millions here and there. Can’t wait to see how they buff the barbarian lol. Knowing blizzard though I have low expectations.

[@flonyme8174]

so glad your finding success with it.

[@ricewookie]

how do you do millions at lvl 70? can you tell me

[@ravdobikjarb93]

Locking down the build is appreciated, but I think the patch for barbarian is after sorcerer. Thank you for your hard work. :-)

[@flonyme8174]

You are correct. seems like we will know more on friday. Let keep our fingers crossed it is not too far out. Thank you for the appreciation.

[@mine5066]

uhm, did they fix Rage of Harrpogath with the latest patch? Did not see that in the patch notes, and have not tested it since then, but the proc so far only worked with skill inherent bleeds, i.e. WW bleed or Rend, but not for example Sword Expertise bleeds.

[@flonyme8174]

Feels like it is working but I will double check.

[@5280Recreation]

Interesting. I’m using two of the same aspects and 1 handed rend + shako build that decimates. Glad to see others coming up with interesting builds. My only complaint right now is that barb DPS is pretty low by comparison and super weak single target, even with godly gear I have

[@flonyme8174]

I agree. hopefully the buffs coming up fix our class.

[@itsjustajokejeez]

Lucky you found one!

[@flonyme8174]

Thanks! Yours is coming!

[@swat5150]

build looks nice, wonder if i should switch and give this one a try. I'm trying this here build "Rob's HotA 75+ EG (S1)" but it isnt working out for me.. I'm not doing any kind of dmg whats so ever. I'm not level 75+ like his build title says to be but its the only one he has that is updated since the others are not atm. I have both the Uniques you said to use too. Any advice? I have no idea how to keep my fury topped off either.. Its really tough and im lvl 71

[@flonyme8174]

level 71 can be a bit rough on sustain. I would suggest switching your last class passive. From what I hear "rob" is a really good player.

[@swat5150]

@@flonyme8174 okay i will try switching the class passive and see if that helps any.. thanks for the reply back

[@flonyme8174]

np

[@awtz27gamer44]

Can you make this build viable around level 70ish? And can this build push higher tier nmd?. Thanks for answering

[@flonyme8174]

You will miss out on alot of the damage and be a little squishy without the paragon board leveled but The speed is easy to attain. As far as pushing nightmare sigils it should be good up until you become a one shot.

[@kramer911]

Bro.. I'm lvl 99 and just found out about the expertise slot.. I thought it just auto lvls the more u use each weapon and its like a passive.. had no idea.. lol. Also, just watching cuz I found azurewrath(actually 3 of them now) and was hoping they had a use. Looks like it does which is cool.

[@flonyme8174]

Nice. It can be a good tech tool for now. I would hold on to your best one because in the future they will be buffing some of the elemental aspects for the barb I believe that will scale good with the sword.

[@22louki]

hey there guick question, i did find this sword yesterday at 80 non seasonal, i play with two handed mace because of a neck that buffs a lot such build. is it worth using this sword with an addition to ghors for example? or a stat stick is still better? what do u think

[@22louki]

forgot to mention i do play ww though

[@flonyme8174]

Ive spent many hours testing this on a ww build. Both 2 handed and dual wield. Thoughts are here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZyolJKQfap0oac

[@flonyme8174]

viewer asked for a ww build using azures so I spent all weekend getting one ready for him. video will be up monday morning if your curious how azure performs with ww

[@22louki]

@@flonyme8174 sure thanks for letting us know,that is very nice from your side!! i ll have to level up again to try myself though, i died at 86 yesterday to chain cc also i did make a seasonal character this time, i do wonder what kind of hearts might be ideal for hardcore. if you can share your ideas on how we can adapt such builds would be perfect. have a nice day

[@flonyme8174]

@@22louki currently working on leveling both the barb and sorc in season. Wish I had more time to race them to the top like other youtubers who actually make money off youtube but for me this is just to share my ideas with you. I am working on it though. soon as I get there I will get new builds out.

[@arkz7509]

What do u prefer, this or your hota one?

[@flonyme8174]

for the most part i just prefer the ramladnis build for most content. This one does help with higher tiers though keeping things cc'd

[@terraax6919]

Why the walking Arsenal key passive instead of unbridled rage?

[@flonyme8174]

sustain. I even tried running resource sustain on both rings instead of the shout cooldown and it still burned out unless there was 4 or more enemies pretty quick.

[@noone3550]

Could you by chance make a PVP build with this weapon?

[@flonyme8174]

You could although the butchers cleaver makes a better option for that imo.

[@jyypsi1702]

Nice

How about dual Azurewrath?

[@flonyme8174]

Can only have one of each unique piece at a time unfortunately.

[@haruanharuan6546]

Can do a WW build with the Azurewrath please ? Thanks

Are the new uniques available in the eternal realm?

[@flonyme8174]

yes they are.

[@Clandestinemonkey]

cool build but why no link to a planner?

[@flonyme8174]

The barb is getting an update soon so I wanted to wait until the update went through before getting the planner up in case need to make any adjustments. The developers should be talking about it tomorrow.

[@Trungle-is6nk]

How to get that unique weapons bro

[@flonyme8174]

Drops anywhere in the game I believe. Better chances in nightmare sigils though.

[@ИльяМуромец-о1щ]

Nice barb build.

[@flonyme8174]

Thank you.

[@abrelegowany]

How to keep fury full all the time?

[@flonyme8174]

Just weave in your basic attack while you have the attack speed bonuses up. I explained it towards the end of the video.

[@n0cturnus345]

can you add a link to your build please ?

[@flonyme8174]

soon as the campside stream is over and I have more info on the changes coming.

[@goatseatchili1817]

Why walking arsenal rather than any other passive?

[@flonyme8174]

sustain

[@goatseatchili1817]

@@flonyme8174 as in just the fury? Wouldn’t unconstrained be a bit better, or do you happen to get the +30 from arsenal enough for it to make a difference? I’m just wondering because if there is no key passive that really helps the build why not omit it fully and place it maybe into another passive unless you have some other reason behind it. Thanks.

[@flonyme8174]

we get 20% multiplicative damage from that passive as where the fury one gives us additive instead. you can run the build with rage passive but it will be hard to sustain that way. Probably would have been better for the video cause people like to see higher damage numbers but Just wanted to release it with good sustain. people can adjust as they want.

[@goatseatchili1817]

@@flonyme8174 ah I didn’t see that unconstrained was additive. Makes perfect sense then. Thanks for the explanation.

Is this viable for season 1?

I see no reason why it would not be.

[@ReplayMastersTekken]

Viable for higher tier ?

[@flonyme8174]

Everything is super goofy right now with scaling and the changes so I am not sure where it would cap out at.

[@jyypsi1702]

What lvl are u

[@flonyme8174]

max

[@ShioBaZanG]

So little damage and makes no sense to spam fury when higher fury = higher HOTA hits. Just use 2h mace.

[@flonyme8174]

you burn out to 0 and loose all your damage.

[@lepakage2]

Was hoping for more tbh. It’s a neat setup but my death blow Barb in the eternal realm was farming T66 a lot faster than this. WW is using the barber heart to destroy content. HOTA is underwhelming by comparison

[@lepakage2]

Also for reference, my current death blow barb is only 71 and absolutely doesn’t have optimal gear and I’ve already crit for 1.25MM without using the Barber gem (because I think it’s lame)

[@flonyme8174]

its a cc build... I can get hota to hit around 7-8 mil if I focus solely on damage. Enjoy life.

[@lepakage2]

@@flonyme8174 so if you can clear in 6m vs 12m why wouldn’t you?
