6 peice Waste + Focus/Restraint with BK swords.

I use:

Sprint, frenzy, WW, WotB, Warcry and Rage. I sometimes switch Frenzy for Rend.

I have the belt and the flail. The skill damage is miniscule. 40M crits on Bombarement with Annihilate while still using the Maximus (x5 so that's 200M) every 6-8s? Even if I had an ancient version of Mortal Drama, that would be less than 400M every 6-8s (Maximus has +20% fire). I hit (non-crit) for more with one SB now (crits for over a billion with survival gear and over 1.3 billion with damage gear - that's 1.300.000.000) and the controller vibration is annoying to be honest (it vibrates with each "meteor" hit - I play on the PS4) 😛 I'm using String of ears belt - that 30% melee reduction means I can actually take a few more hits before dying (dead crusader = no damage).

I know how much a billion is and I'm aware of what the Maximus rolls, but thank you for pandering.

I've watched my friend play with his roland sader. Yes, shield bash is the majority of his damage. But when it comes to single target, those bombardments come in handy. He does have an ancient mortal drama (4K+), gifted and well-rolled and everything. I've watched his bombardments (belt procs mortal drama, effectively 5900% damage guaranteed every 6-8 seconds. Drop your own as well, and that blast will be double that. Nothing to scoff at), along with his shield bashes, melt RG's.

Obviously it was just a suggestion.

And obviously you could turn off controller vibration.

I've only ever found Maximus, even ancient ones, to be a stopgap.

And if we really wanted to get into it, I'd bring up the fact that the top saders don't even use shield bash, they use sweep attack. So maybe I should have just told you to get a golden flense instead.

I was able to gather mine pretty quick, but I already had full IK which let me run high grifts.

If you have a barb that's fairly capable already, it hopefully won't take long.

I top out at about Grift 37-38. Toughness is there but my DPS is low. Should be able to run a couple hours after work tonight. If any of you feel like helping a prodigal player later on, hit me up.

I will be on for several hours. You are welcome to run with me anytime.
 
My games are also always joinable, but I don't think I'll be on tonight. Just shoot me a message if you see me playing.

I'm trying to get those stupid seasonal achievement points. WD can run T5, currently farming T4 for a little extra speed. Almost any two more pieces of Zuni should do it. Or TnT with a TMF or SMF.
 
Last night on my Barb I completed a greater rift level 50 in two tries. Then I tried a level 51 and cleared it in two tries. I got a nice Focus after I cleared the 51:

426 Strength --> 50% CHD
7% IAS
6%CHC
Socket

LAK
Thorns

Playing about 15 hrs a week it took me about a 3 weeks to get the set of wastes. Still trying to find all of them in ancients. I have two of the six...

Are there attack speed break points with WW? What about dual wielding versus two hand?
Click to expand...

There are supposedly but im too lazy to research them 😛

I can dual wield the BK set and that works too.

But what I found now, using any 2H weapon is if I run lightning ww along with cota that gens fury and unforgiving passive and wear reapers wraps I have no issues keeping my fury from running out and doing perma ww.

Just being ancient isn't enough, you need the right rolls too lol.

Yup. I have only found two tal rasha amulets in season 3 and both were garbage. So I can't switch out the tal rasha chest for my perfect ancient cindercoat and join the aether walker/teleport (calamity)/meteor shower spamming crowd.

Thanks to the guys who helped me last night. I played pretty hard and ended up getting two of the set pieces within 15 minutes of each other at the end of my session. I guess I will finally give up my physical earthquake build. 🙁

I think I was running in the group with you for a little while. Have fun with the new build I like it a lot because you can do a bunch of fun new builds and still be viable.
I did find a small upgrade to my PoC and a nice new Ancient Restraint last night. Running with the group doing rifts had my Boon on and hit almost 2bil in gold.
 
If anyone sees me on tonight or tomorrow, would like to finish the seasonal boss kill achievements to see how much more I need for 400, so if you want to help do them send me a note.
 
Well, the Kadala troll begins again! Been wasting shards on Denial for the Crusader and it just ain't happening. Luckily, it doesn't take long to get 900+ shards on the barb, but it is still annoying to be so unlucky.
 
Cleared a 50 with a few mins left... could probably do a 52 I'm thinking tops (just barely finishing and with the right RNG).

Still looking for an ancient Nat's bow!! Or ancient Calamity / Balesfire... I will up my dmg another 20%.
