Cookie Cutter Reaper/DPS Barbarian Build

[Doomflayer]

Wasn't OP posted before feywild and augment revamp?

Yes it was, gearing changed considerably. I am not even sure what the best gearing is now.

How would you change this build to update 49?

Yes it was, gearing changed considerably. I am not even sure what the best gearing is now.

Barbarian gearing nowadays is actually pretty standard. Titania's Glory, Legendary Tinkerer's Goggles, Legendary Family Recruit Sigil, Legendary Enforcer's Coat, Legendary Cloak of Summer, Devilscale Bracers, Legendary Hammmerfist, Legendary Lionheart Ring, Legendary Ring of Prowess, Legendary Belt of the Ram, Legendary Thorn Boots, The Heart of Suulomades.

There are some gearsets that make better use of cool items like the Bloodrage Chrism but this one has higher dps due to maxing deception bonuses as well as melee power.

Drop improved critical as most end game weapons will have keen.

Falconry only real benefits from +5% HP bonus and 30% helpless. Shifter tier 5 gives same HP bonus while raged and if you have the racial AP only costs you 1 AP.

Vistani is marginal in my opinon for the points spent. Just from I have toyed around with.

Personal I would go for t5 and last core in ravager. Much more survivability than frenzied. Then spend remaining in frenzied and maybe pick up KtA in harper.

Do this and you will have a better optimized high reaper barb.

Improved Critical is a prerequisite for Overwhelming Critical

Falconry only real benefit is 30% helpless

Vistani is the only source of Haste Boost for pure barb, after ED revamp in U51

Don't do that, as you won't have access to Overwhelming Critical, meaning less DPS.

LD haste boost goes away?

[PrinceOfAsphodel]

LD haste boost goes away?

Yes but LD has a new enhancement that gives +10% attack speed when you use any action boost, meaning other action boosts are more relevant now. Orcish Rage in particular looks pretty good.
