Zombie Barb Smash! Buld for high crits. Someone do it for the show!

[Sormiron]

testing a bit of 12 barb/6wiz/2cleric for divine might, zombie and eldritch tempest. seems to be doing fine. this is from a 5 man group in r1 slavers. had to step back to prevent combat log from ticking it away.
a bit of a lottery win that crit though.

I wonder if anyone else is testing this in combination with fury of the wild aswell. fury of the wild hits realy hard now. I´d love to see someone with proper gear reach crit records with this on a stream with proper gear, buffs, filigrees and such things. my computor is way to old for that kind of thing.

I got a couple of 140ish crits on baba yesterday but the darned hut butt was in the way. someone do this propper!

Nice! However, as long as this is single target, I do not see the point.

First, is this helpless damage? Second, even it was 200k damage, it is once every 30k. You are doing 200000/30=6.6k DPS with that attack. Is your build as powerful as to catch up to the 20K+ DPS builds out there otherwise? (I am not talking about drag races, these are live playable builds).

Finally, I'd probably use the new raid axe if I was fishing for high crits. It seems to be the highest base damage weapon.

You started with barb? Wonder if it would work in hardcore.

the over all dps is very decent but it is top tier. what is good about though, is that you can very quickly remove large threats by using adrenaling when needed. if I am the only somewhat beefy guy I dont go over r5 usualy. r6 mb for ravenloft with a good healer but not in sharn. I get blown up there. with a tank taking the damage, do what the tank can handle and stay away from magic damage. I am not entirely sure if that owlbear was helpless or no, it was moving when went for it but it is possible someone hit it with something right before it died. it is single target damage with adrenalin as it only counts on the first hit you make, even with a cleave. The point with this build was just to see large numbers but it turned out pretty decent anyways. I started with 2 barb to get 200 temp hp early as it helps for survivability a lot, then mixed it a bit leveling so that I had 4 barb/6wiz/2 cleric by level 12. then rest barbarian. I thought it would give an easier time leveling having temp hp, blurr and a bit of prr/mrr.

I would love to get the new axe but I dont see any raids up at my time and my time is limited. I´ve been home sick so i´ve been able to play a bit, otherwise I dont play much. I got the ravenloft 2h raid axe with 5 none rare filigrees for melee power on actionboost and the sharn melee set atm. I will probably TR today or tomorrow to keep moving somewhat. but I might return to it as it has been fun to randomly oneshot things unexpectedly with huge crits. when vengeance reapers go -poof- it is very satisfying.

as for hardcore, I dont think it would be great. the 50% healing penalty hurts a lot more there. better ask ppl that play hardcore though. got no time.
