Diablo 4 - Secret Steel Grasp Tech - Barbarian

[@davidpotenza3794]

quality video.. really brings to light how polished and moba like pvp can feel in Diablo 4.

[@NoahM08]

onces again you do what you are best to and i love it. i feel more and more i wanna just watch you instent of playing the game :D the way you explain stuff you are so amazing a high five for beging so awesome

[@seanellis4878]

Thanks Noah!

[@Adoptulous]

Looked up Diablo 4 barbarian tech and this was pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Thanks

[@seanellis4878]

That is probably the best feedback a content creator could possibly get. Enjoy!

[@Drew-im7is]

Excellent use of FGC knowledge! Us barbs thank you I've also seen on reddit people using 1 basic attack to cancel the animation lag.

[@seanellis4878]

Excellent! Did not know that, maybe I should surf reddit more often. Long live the FGC!

[@Drew-im7is]

@seanellis4878 I like the dash use since it can "read" your opponent. I think lunging strike could auto track them possibly?? That would make chains really a death sentence 💀

[@seanellis4878]

@@Drew-im7is idk if its just me but my lunging strike never seems to auto-snap. my barb literally just lunging strikes in place while my opponent runs away. idk if its lag or what but I really never had success with it in PvP.

[@Drew-im7is]

@@seanellis4878 gotcha, I haven't tested it myself. Good to experiment with

[@yungdirtysprite6980]

@@seanellis4878 yeah the range kinda seems bugged if they are running away. i kinda get why you dropped lunging strike. gotta try that aswell.

[@SuperCatacata]

I love the recent chain buff and I love tech in games. But the base chain animation really needs to be faster.

[@seanellis4878]

YES!!

[@JosephTurkot]

Good video! I’ve been liking chain to get vulnerable with but hate the lag. Will give this a tru

[@minty9984]

Danmm that PvP one is BRUTAL. Imagine youre a mage that focus on long range and an enemy barb pulls this one

[@g3synth205]

Awesome discovery - thanks for sharing!

[@mihata-gaming]

Really well done! I have learnt a lot

[@wildshotman6407]

very helpful 🙂 tip !

[@MardukTheSunGodInsideMe]

This was a build I was having a lot of trouble with in PVP as a druid. Now I see why.

[@Whop710]

I noticed that evading into attacks makes the animation quicker on Rogue as well. Interested to see if this tech can be applied to different things on every class.

[@seanellis4878]

Damn! We might need to make a video trying it with every other skill

[@Whop710]

@@seanellis4878 Important note after doing some testing with Rogue... this really only works for gear (boots) with 'attacks reduce evade's cooldown'. Essentially allowing you to chain evades whilst attacking.

[@instin103]

Try this against those running rogues - Outburst(1)->Tough as Nails(1) then Hamstring (3). They will slow themselves down 30%. Sure it may proc your exploit glyph but you will be able to chase them down. If you are running chains you can reapply vuln. You can also run 2 hand sword expertise to apply Hamstring.

[@seanellis4878]

Love this

[@2chil]

There are so little info on barb pvp. I’m currently lv100 with pretty max out smog reduc gear. Doesn’t have much problem in the pvp however tb or flurry rogue will just melt my face in a split second….any solve? Thx

[@seanellis4878]

Lets make this the Barb PvP channel then! In my experience, that is your hardest match-up. Most rogues will just play evasively until they KNOW your cooldowns are up, then they will engage you when you have nothing up. Using iron skin with the legendary aspect gives you even more seconds of unstoppable and allows you to fill the gap. With cooldown reduction, you can permanently have unstoppable up between rallying cry and iron skin. If you are unable to do that at the moment, I like to pop all my buffs EXCEPT For rallying cry, I keep that for when they use their knock-downs. Good luck

[@grannydaoc]

great video!

[@madestro]

Great trick for Steel Grasp. I don't PvP but have you tested Ancients Oath? That sword increases Steel Grasp by quite a lot, increases chains, increases skill and slows

[@seanellis4878]

I use it in my Pvp build! Video coming soon (it turned out to be a lot more work than I thought!)

[@ashvoodoo21]

Looking forward to Hammer of the Chaincients! >:D Also just curious, currently lvl 61 as Barb, a friend helped me get into World Tier 4. At what level did you start slamming people to hell in PVP?

[@seanellis4878]

I would recommend 80+ for the PvP zone

[@ashvoodoo21]

@@seanellis4878 Thanks ya!

[@regimondhilberton5034]

Useful vid. Yeah a lot of abilities in this game are borderline unusable just because of the slow animations and other stuff like end lag

[@THINKSOIAM]

Im having a problem with my barb build. Im endgame geared and followed robs paragon tree and use the quake mechanic but i have never seens anything above a 12-15k critnwith hota. My renown isnt maxed so im missing those points and my glyphs are all lvl 17. Is that really whats making the difference?

[@seanellis4878]

+ to max fury is a big plus on your hota damage. plus the positioning on the quake is REALLY tight. What stats do you have on your gear?

[@THINKSOIAM]

@@seanellis4878 440 crit dmg 350 vuln 40% crit about 8-900 other dmg only about 880 str 9058 armor 14k life Does the final points in glyphs really make that big of a difference? Same with those final paragon points? Those are the only places i can see to max my char out more. My weps are both 818 IP. I have never seen a 60mill crit. Idk wth im doing wrong.

[@seanellis4878]

@@THINKSOIAM all paragon points help for sure. also use the potion that either gives 50 max fury, or more crit damage. I've never had a 60 mill crit either, but i've def had some 40's

[@THINKSOIAM]

@seanellis4878 I would like to get into pvp maybe we can get together and you can review my build sometime :)

[@kev23dk]

As a player like its cool and all but we shouldn’t have to rely on the dash to be able to slam. Blizz should fix this asap. I tried steel grasp 5-6 times everytime its so clunky ive switched back to other skills

[@seanellis4878]

totally agree! fingers crossed for a buff in the future. It's especially annoying because its a pretty great way to apply vuln, but if you dont dash-cancel it, you lose almost half of the vuln time just due to the end lag

[@kev23dk]

@@seanellis4878 it should be that the steel grasp should be redesigned and instead its like lunging strike where you launch a steel forward and if it catches any ememies you go towards that it also applied vuln and then you hota. That would be so much faster and fun. Right now its oh shit cast the grasp wait 30 seconds tben slam by that time in higher nmds I’m already dead by all the archers

[@JR-kv6ez]

You finally learned about animation cancelling, grats. And no, we don't call it "end lag". We call it "animation lock". It's not a new thing.

[@seanellis4878]

Appreciate the info :)

[@dlckddyd76]

I think. this is one of those trick where its not actually quicker but you mind thinks its quicker because there is a command between the hook and hota. it might even be tad slower like .000001 sec but because you add dash(evade).. our minds thinks its quicker because 3 command > 2 commands = similar time

[@seanellis4878]

Did you see the side by side comparison? It’s definitely faster

[@BenPhou]

Nice vid, might need to lower the music as it's overpowering/clashing with your voice at some points in the video.

[@seanellis4878]

Thank you :)
