Ultimate Flay Barbarian Boss Killer Build Guide

[@millertime2743]

Excellent guide, great job on the boss rotations and explanations. What’s your opinion on the next best Uber unique for flay (either pit push or bossing) after the shako? Tyrael’s Might looks solid and I love it thematically, but it isn’t needed when we’re deleting bosses in seconds and it seems like we’re giving away a ton of QoL and speed on the pit version if we trade out Rage of Harrogath. Doesn’t seem like we need either of the rings for flay, and like you’ve mentioned throughout the video and comments, we lose so much from tempers this season if we switch to Grandfather or Doombringer… I suppose the answer is none really, just choose Andariel’s Visage and play a poison rogue…. 😆 Would love your thoughts, thanks again for the great guides on flay!

[@cliptis86]

Haha thank you for watching and also doing my job of answering the question. You said it really well, there really isn't the need for ubers other than the Harlequins crest. Also, side note, here at Barb-nation we call Rogues: Crit-temper barbarians.

[@millertime2743]

Lol, fair enough. I was surprised to find Rogue as the 2nd most fun I’ve had in S4. Sorc was just ok, Necro was strong, but I don’t care for the gameplay much, and the poor Druid was visually impressive but so far behind the others, at least before the latest patch. I concede that Barb was best again in S4. 😎

[@cliptis86]

Haha I do love what Blizzard did with all the classes. I've played every one of them every season but there's so much to do this season idk if I'll make it off the barb! Rogues insanely fun and Andy's looks amazing.

[@KillDozer44]

Crazy build but I just put everything into dust devil berserk ripping build lol

[@cliptis86]

Those are fun builds. Won't clear quite as high as Flay in the Pits but DD are super fun. I have two of them.

[@binzjim]

fantastic guide! thank you! Question: I have 80% crit chance, 2200 crit dmg and 660 vul dmg. Cant increase vul dmg anymore, unless i replace some crt dmg with vul dmg. Would you recommend to do so? e.g. would 1800 crit dmg and 800+ vul dmg be better? Thank you so much!

[@cliptis86]

Thank you for watching. Vulnerable should be gloves, all weapons and rings. After that it's just masterworking and GA

Would that rupture unique sword help in any way?

[@cliptis86]

You could try it. It's not necessary though and you lose a lot from not having tempers

[@JAS19ILLINI]

what makes Cut to the Bone on amulet better than %strength? Bc i have two amulets with the same stats, only difference being one with %strength and one with Cut to the Bone, and I swear it feels like I do more damage with the %strength amulet.

[@cliptis86]

Strength is a big damage multiplier but when you get enough things stacking your bleed gushing wounds becomes a bigger multiplier.

[@Raxxfor]

Wtf yes I kill 200 bosses nearly instant, but with my bash build I was clearing pit 105 easy and now I die within every trash grp also instant..... no survive and nothing..... OK I don't have all Def stats at max, but seriously? Pit 61 is nearly impossible for me now.......... pls show us at normal trash how you solo everything..... that's not normal......

[@cliptis86]

Hey! If you watched the whole video, I made sure to stress a couple times that this is not for the pits at all this is only for 200 bosses. You have to make sure your masterworking is at level 12 and I linked a build in the video and in the description to the build I use for the pits. What was the build you were running your pits with before

[@KGUYDOG]

​@@cliptis86 you made it clear in the video this was for bosses. Also the name of the video was also a pretty big hint 😂

[@cliptis86]

Ok thank. I really didn't want to mislead anyone into trying the build for something it wasn't.

[@Raxxfor]

Okay, then I am really sorry about it. I struggle with my best barb mostly at the bosses and I was Thinking I can kill the boss is also nearly instant... But yes, it is really hard to see that I kill Uber bosses nearly instant but a normal trash mop from 61 will killing me instantly.....

[@cliptis86]

@Raxxfor yeah I don't mind helping though. You don't have to be sorry. Defenses in the pit are completely different from just 200 bosses.

[@kevinkelly1755]

I have to say, this has been one of the best directions/description of a Flay/Rupture build I have seen so far? I saw DoNotHitMe's Flay build and wanted to try it out, but I did not fully understand the relationship and interaction between Flay, bleeds, and Rupture. Your video has made it totally clear for me. More so than even Rob2628's videos. I'll definitely be able to use the build a lot better now. I will most likely be using your build. Thank you.

[@cliptis86]

Hey, thank you so much! If you have questions, feel free to ask. Make sure you masterwork to 12 it's really important for the build. It gets fun then.

[@kevinkelly1755]

[@080loky]

If you get the right gear that is. I played hundreds and hundreds of hours for 99.9% shite gear. Helltides, uber bosses, pit and all and nothing. And even if you are lucky enough to get some good items, the blacksmith is most likely to ruin your tempers. Great game.

[@cliptis86]

All Diablo games are like this. It's the fun of the grind. I run most of my builds with mediocre gear. It makes it fun and challenging.

Í'm running Rob's Flay Bleed Barb with the Iron Skin, but this was before the last mid season patch. Although i'm really tempted to switch over to yours i can't say which build stands out better overal... Iron skin also does also make you unstoppable, is there a reason you prefer Rallying Cry over it?

[@cliptis86]

Hey! He always makes great guides. I went with rallying cry because unstoppable is up for longer, I don't have to wait until I take damage to use it like you do with iron skin, and I maxed but raid leader for the healing. I tried both versions with and without iron skin and love rallying cry far more. Iron skin is amazing don't get me wrong I just liked this more for this build.

[@Primetexru]

Good day to you my fellow Earthlings, First of all, I would like to thank our blogger for this build. Next thing, I got my bash barb and I did not want to ruin him and swap to this build. I levelled from 1-100 with this build and items with prefixes which is a must have. Before I reached 78 I was already killing duriel in meere seconds, after I hit 100, I went on and tried terminated versions of each boss. Sure, it wasn't as it was shown in the video but nevertheless they died. Now I am gm 2 items and more still to come, but overall this is a working build, for everyone who is trying this , my advice. Start at the bottom so you understand how this build works , mechanics, rotations. I tuned it a bit as I use a grandaddy instead of polearm, and use imbieber to have an extra attack when healthy. But, overall, I give a big shout out to this guy who did this build and I send him a big warm hug from Mother Russia. My sincere regards to the author.

Forget imposing presence, roll martial vigor on everything helmet, chest, pants, amulet. Masterwork until you get +5 or if you're lucky enough +6 and you're immune to all damage.

Hey! Gotta be careful with that since you don't gain the DR from everything. A good mix is best. It works really well in PvP though.

@cliptis86 if you have capped resistance, nothing really hurts even all of Liliths death waves. My martial vigor is at 20 so far and it's ridiculous.

Stop letting these KZbinrs fool you.

[@cliptis86]

Hey! I completely agree. I've said it to everyone that asks. This build is not a starter build. I did find the chest piece. I haven't bought or traded anything this season. If you want to drop by the stream, I can take off the ubers and the 4GA chest piece and show you the build works well without it. I still agree with you and caution anyone that asks about switching to this build that it is tough to build, plus learning the rotation and the game play style is challenging too.
