[@toasterstruddle3807]

Only in diablo 4 a basic attack is 1000% stronger then a ultimate attack. Never thought I would see a game were the ultimate is ultimate trash compared to any other ability in game. Hope they fix it

[@ActualTyger]

I’ve felt this way the entire season. Why would it be a good idea to make most of the best builds just basic attacks. Same two basic attack 80-160% aspects on every build, 20% reduction, Undying. Way easier to just do those builds and hold X than get the gear and stuff required for the couple core skill builds that are comparable. Crazy that the devs and players are good with this

[@Mazhas91]

basic skills is so boring but you have to stick with them in endgame this is just crazy

[@stealth-x2995]

Never played Diablo 3, eh? Generator builds aren't new.

[@jw3807]

Yes, so dumb!! It’s getting very old that 90% of the skills in the game are absolutely useless.

[@Mazhas91]

@@stealth-x2995 they should get rid of this or make skill modifier so you can modify skill to make it more fun to play.

[@ericsavala4686]

Ultimates across the board for every character need to be better

[@BatDad-qu4fo]

I've been wanting to play a Rain of Arrows build on my Rogue since season 1 and haven't seen a solid build for it that didn't require a ton of work and luck. The ultimates are super weak and I don't understand why it's still like that when you can make a basic attack build from 1 to endgame...

[@gullyfoyle9165]

Yes your basic attack that consumes 0resource and has 0cooldown can git millions per second even hundreds of millions buuuut your ultimate that has 50sec cooldown has to hit 2m max this is just necessary bro how you think this should be changged? This can break the game​@@BatDad-qu4fo

[@x3TripleAce3x]

There just arent any multipliers for ultimate skills in the game compared to core or basic skills

[@jasond7969]

That unique neck should take out the first 2 attacks the iron maelstrom ult does and feed that damage into the 3rd attack. That way it’s less clunky and instantly a larger aoe for more damage.

[@Rob2628]

Cool ideas yes something like this & a MASSIVE damage buff

[@recklessone]

Iron Maelstrom is my favorite button in the game and I had suchhhh high hopes for this build. Even with like 800% ult damage on my gear it just isnt enough, it needs a multiplier. I want to play this soooo bad.

[@Rob2628]

100% 🙏🏻

[@sanchezo95]

Try using critical strike overpower hits with iron maelstrom. I use Earthstriker's aspect on my 2 handed, and when I use iron maelstrom, I try timing the weapon swaps so that when I get to the 3rd hit of iron maelstrom, it'll guarantee overpower, and having a high enough critical strike chance, all the hits of the duel wielding weapon become critical strike overpower

[@markd9318]

"I have 4 ubers equipped. You dont need them but they sure help!" WHAT?!

[@benbeware6798]

Yeah, sometimes Rob is a bit delusional in this regard.

[@kudbettinkohen1935]

Rob makes a lot of mistakes but what’s the issue here? He has 4 uniques equipped but you don’t need any of them. Most of them are sidegrade at best anyway for this build.

[@cici_0399]

He removed tyraels and GF for the demo still did the same damage the shako can be replaced with a cd reduction…the other equipments are just normal uniques 8:38 edit: my bad he also removed shako…uniques are easier to manage than legendaries because they cant be bricked…

[@paulli1176]

Wat? Shako nearly gives 0 dmg for this build so is starless sky. He will do more dmg will regular ring and helm

[@IsThatDrak]

the fact that 40 seconds on a tier 100 dungeon is considered "slow and a problem" just shows how OP the S tier builds are lol

[@jw3807]

It’s pretty lame that all the best builds are basic skill builds. Bash and flay were so boring to play this season.

[@michaelsamef]

Cool dass du das Video hochgeladen hast, ich hatte dich ja die Tage in einem anderen Video zu diesem Thema schon gefragt und habe jetzt einen guten Überblick über die Situation am PTR. Wenn das so bleibt wie es ist wird das kaum genutzt werden, das wäre schade, wie du sagst ist das eine geile Spielweise, hoffen wir mal dass Blizz das noch ordentlich buffen wird, sowohl den Skill an sich als auch das Amu, ich hatte als ich den Campfirechat gesehen habe ehrlich gesagt auch noch mit einem Aspekt für Eiserner Mahlstrom gerechnet aber das kommt vielleicht in Zukunft. Ja und auch Ruf der Urahnen gehört ordentlich gebufft, es kann nicht sein dass Ultimate Skills hinter Basisfertigkeiten zurückliegen. Hoffentlich ist Blizzard deinem Feedback offen und lenkt da ein bevor Season 5 Live geht.

[@jmkeff]

❌Support barb for Solo Play?? 🤣 How about they Encourage Multiplayer By: Removing WHOLE party Having to Accept NM dungeons so people that go afk for 2 seconds or want to work on Gear don't have to leave party because of party getting frustrated having to spam start a dam dungeon, and making it so you can REQUEST to join party from Randoms instead of having to add them to friends first or Only being able to send invites since most players would rather have someone join them instead of Joining and loosing their progress.... and here is a EASY ONE , how bout a Simple Toggable TiTLE that says LOoKING FOR GROUP over their Head so instead of me sending every random a invite for 30 min to get a full party at Blood maiden or pit Statue in town or at Uberbosses i can send invites to players who want to Coop.. ShEeSH this is just simple stuff that would make 80% more people play COOp.. a Monkey could do it

[@danielspasov8108]

Rob, have you ever thought of lucky hit/crit/bleed damage build with all new bleedin effects, rupture, iron maelstrom and gushing woulnds for season 5 with the new fields of crimson? Let's say the lucky hit is actually elemental damage and it goes with the extra bleeding effects.

[@jarrodgentry9966]

Rob, has anyone tried doing with kick what the necros are doing with bone spirit and banished lords? At least we do get the ring of red furor. I just wondered if anyone had tried stacking the damage bonuses from earthquake to see how much damage they could push out of an overpowered kick.

[@Rob2628]

Yes I tried it is is okay (certainly better than this build) but not great & clunky with almost no aoe sadly

[@hunterstrong3318]

I was womdering about this build, but figured it might fall short in damage, atleast as it stands. Love the aproach on some new design spaces for brand new builds, not just adding stuff that modifies existing builds this season though. Im gonna watch for any buffs to this but S5 im playing rupture barb and a bone prison using necro

[@flowqi212]

Have you tried Walking Arsenal instead of Gushing Wounds and then temper ultimate damage everywhere? It doesn't look like the bleeding damage scales a lot with this build. Btw the boss isn't healing, I think its just a HP bar glitch. The bleed effect dissappears shortly but reapears at full size a moment later and the total HP is still going down and never up.

[@paulli1176]

how? Lets say they buff WA gives you * 100%, it still way behind gushing wound which gives you 1.4*crit dmg insane scale.

[@Rob2628]

Yea at this point walking arsenal is completely dead passive

[@flowqi212]

@@paulli1176 actually GW even gives you 1.5*1.4*tooltip crit 😅 its completely broken. But for some reason it didn't really work out for me when I tried to scale my DD Barb. Probably forgot some synergy. Rob has about 1300% crit damage in the video. Maybe scale this at least with GF instead of Ancient Oath and maybe add Rupture to the build. Basically go all in on bleeds. [EDIT] Not sure if the boss fight was with GF already 🤔

[@eerd2449]

No X on the amulet, the skill itself needs like a 25%X. on top the amulet needs like "iron M strikes an additional time" and whoala we got ourselfs a build.

[@AutinPowers]

with the damage reduction, that will come in handy in HC

[@Neero_90]

the bleed disapairing on boss is not a bug its server desync, delay between peer to peer, the ur client seeing the bleed % then the server desyncs and "re-syncs" back to what the bleed actually is, i think the bleed is always there its just a visual problem when it desyncs

[@koenvanderrijt5244]

but rob u mention speeds.. do you actually redo your character for speeds? or just get a 2nd barb ?

[@jordanmatchett6155]

if youre an extra healthy barb can you scale overpower into the build with the swap weapons x times for overpower proc aspect? will tht maintain overpower for all hits on final proc of maelstrom or jus the first swing of multiple

[@jameshunter6289]

What is the stat priority on weapons for a non uber bash barb? Some guides say crit and others vuln

[@schylernoneya145]

I am trying to make Walking Arsenal/Iron Maelstrom work on live. I got a pair of 4GA 100,000 Steps so basically forced myself to try it lol. I'm using Lunging Strike, Whirlwind, HoTA, Leap, Rallying Cry, and Iron Maelstrom as skills on my bar. It's not strong strong but I hit in the 20mil plus mark with HoTA, and whirlwind crits for 1mil give or take.

[@jarrodgentry9966]

This is the first time I’ve heard anything about anger management, I was experimenting with tuskhelm and lunging strike earlier this season

[@shaneneuhaus4912]

That's because it is introduced in the PTR for S5 and it is not for S4.

[@jarrodgentry9966]

Can banished lords and unbridled rage with the new helm proc pull enough fury to make overpowered death blow viable?

[@jarrodgentry9966]

I play with my wife so I’m all the time trying to find better ways to combine builds. I wanted to make one us flay stacking massive amounts of damage while the other was running whirlwind, rocking a mace with ranks in concussive and skullbreakers

[@raulnavarrete963]

Steel grasp pull you towrads boss?

[@user-sx1hn5os7u]

Where can I get the Crown of Lucion? Please tell me

[@donewithprecision785]

Why dont they just do like a “double damage to single targets/bosses” type thing? If they are gonna be weird about it, make it an aspect or a board or something.

[@jarrodgentry9966]

It would have been better if they had made it a ring. The only way I could see it working is if you were constantly procing encroaching wrath. I don’t know if using melted heart could pull enough fury away that you could keep it active. You could drop gushing wounds for unbridled rage. I’d like to see how much damage while Berserking we can stack now.

[@BGEel]

Rob, long time fan first time suggestion. I think the next level of your content could include in-depth guidance about how to execute gameplay with your builds. We have access to your build guides via your links. Maybe cut some of that from video and replace with your own words on how you make the most of your gameplay. The nitty gritty things like pit map strategy, how to actually play spin to win or play to flay (Just made that up ;).

[@Makigero100]

I was trying super hard to make some type of iron maustron buid... the first was some thing like your...but i tried one using the supreme giving massive fury and generating dustdevils... but then the problem because the cooldown...

[@kevinmann2154]

Seems like they made this amulet more for call of the ancients since they keep giving it buffs.

[@travisshannon9040]

If blizz makes ultimates OP. I will main a barb for this build.

[@Neero_90]

this looks like a very hard to make feel smooth and good due to needing a lot of attackspeed for the steelgrasp, and because i want way more attack speed on this i would have to drop dmg and this build seem to have terrible damage atm sadly, so :/ hope they buff it, would be way better if u could do 1 steelgrasp to then use maelstrom, really cool build as someone who only plays WW on barb i would love to play this "when it gets buffed" COPIUM

[@druss6992]

Just spent ages getting stuff for this build and realised damage wasnt very good, so i decided to search youtube. I now realised u already tried it on the PTR and saldy ive come to the conclusion I just wasted ages collecting stuff for it 😢

[@Supremesis]

Do love the look of this! Hope it sees some dmg love 😢

[@____GoMeZ____]

This is one of those unfortunate things where it's coolness factor far outweighs its effectiveness. If you boost its damage too much, well, you're going to have a skill that wipes the entire screen in one swipe. If you do that, you're going to choke out every other build the barb has. It's also important to note that the skill itself is designed to be AOE focused. You should asbolutely take a single target skill to supplement this.

[@OscarJ-u7r]

I will try this in Season 5

[@Rob2628]

[@pcgamersbtw8721]

oh sweet its helpful in overworld, where no one needs help.

[@raulnavarrete963]

It feels really bad to farm all the way to 100, getting cool uniques, and possibly awesome builds (like this) just for it all to be trash gear compared to a basic ability. Dont get me wrong basic attacks can be and should be strong as well, but come on.....

If they buff it 10 times it's still gonna be weak. They are so much braindead with numbers.

[@benbeware6798]

Sorry but saying this is viable for Tier 90+ is not right as your Gear is allready masterworked to the max with ubers and at that point you dont play NMDs 90+ anymore. Try again without Masterworked gear to simulate glyph leveling and then report back if its still viable.

[@michaelsamef]

When you are playing 90+Nmds you actually allready have done some Masterworking, not to the Max but at Stage 4 at least all your Gear can be easy, off course Iron Maelstrom is to week and the Amu should increase the Damage much more.

[@sebastiangoetz510]

Maybe they nerf it even more 😂 like the most fun things. I mean look at sorcs, the class was fun, pre the first season and in the second season, then they realized oh sorc players have fun, so let’s nerf them 😂. Fun to see that brab at least one weak build 😂 … pls more
