@Rob2628 You say that the cap for Hearthquake’s Cast Twice is 100%, so why would you need to roll 3x Cast Twice on ur chest to get 60% when your weapon already has 78%?

Why u guys just don’t advertise the boots with greater affect that’s all u need for any build

If only i could get a single igni or bac rune, I’ve been trying to play every spare second i get and not a single one.

Thx for the vid and build rob!
Playing on Eternal, so no witch powers. What adjustments do i need to make ?

Bringt es etwas wenn man alles auf schaden über Zeit setzt und alles auf dauer der Erdbeben?

buen video, mi pregunta es hasta que foso (pit) llega esa build ? gracias 🙂

I switched from Ww quake to Hota and i regret it so bad. I should have figured that the build has resources problems since the bash icon is included but its not only that you are always out of fury, its also the armor. Played hota and later bash barbs but it was never so weak and one hiteable. Will skill back to something else since this barb, at least at para 250 suxx

How to keep vulnerable on eternal? pls help)

I cannot find the Wrath of the Beserker Cooldown Reduction afix. Where should I go to farm?

This has either been nerfed to the ground or im doing something very wrong: i have almost the same gear – the necklace is not the best, Full all res, 2k armor, 5161 str unbuffed, about 6-7k buffed, 4 stacks bash and everything up, i deal not even half this damage and have shit suvival. what the hell am i doing wrong. i cant even clear a 125. Even my WWQuake build deals more damage. Everything is as the guide, minus 47 paragons in random str. dex, willpower. i should at least roll over a 125-135 with my gear.

Why do we use the aspect that gives earthquakes when we jump (on the amulet), while we don’t use the basic jump please?
I just saw that on the video you used the aspect of inner calm on the amulet, while on the write build you put the aspect with the jump. Which one should you put and why?

Hi Rob, your amulet doesnt match the planner/build

You look like butthead from beavis and butthead

Instead of bold chieftain aspect use executioner on ring and try usuing doombringer for more dmg?

@rob2628, does the damage over time modifier affect earthquake damage? have a 2ga 2h mace with it but it seems like it would be a wasted affix

Nothing ever will be better then the real one hit hota couple of season ago ill stick with ww. Spin to win boys and girls

Question, why are you losing health? Is that supposed to happen?

Fianllyyyyy 🎉

Day 5 of playing and I’ve leveled 4 characters to 60 and am 230 paragon, 125 pits and have all mythics i need. Did all seasonal and lunar stuff not sure what else to do. Diablo really needs more. Every season is like this after they removed trials. Heading back to poe with the endless original content

Your also using 2 handed sword which bleeds

Why is FoF better than Frostburn gloves? Won’t Frostburn benefit from the UB helm?

how do i get the gear to make this build I really wanna play bar but its so rough without gear
im new and i am trying to learn the game from you tube but its so much info

For me, I’m going to put concussive strikes on boots.

How are you spawning the whirlwinds?

I actually have much better results using Shako over ugly bstard due to its cooldown which helps spamming earthquakes non stop. I have a 3GA UB, but I just do not get why I am not getting the results with the UB as you guys are.

They buff barbs even further, but they nerf dot SB and sorc at the same time… 😢

“reconnecting to Diablo 4” Yeah, I thought it was just me getting that since the patch.

So banished lord amulet is no longer sought after?

Can NOT survive with this….love the damage but bruh

How do I get to 100% crit? I have GAs on crit chance on my gloves and rings. My gloves and starless skies are 3x masterworked (my other ring is 3x masterworked on berserker cooldown.) I’m short unless i put crit on amulet or sacrifice wrath cooldown what am I missing?

“a bit nerdy” That’s a good thing! Thanks for the awesome explanation and the planner.

Fyi: Rob said that it doesnt matter if you use a polearm or a greatsword. For this build you have 100% Crit Chance and 100% Vulnerable.

What’s the best barb build to get to 60?

You chose strategic ground stomp.
So why do you choose the battle pervor?
Where can I get the battle fervor effect?

Any rune alternatives? It is kind of sad I already did the battle bass and all the stuff before getting my build online because these ruines are 50x more rare than mythics

How do you get 100 trillion. Most I’ve seen on my barb is 4-8 trillion most of the time it’s 1-2 trillion . I did the maxroll guide. I have all the gear except a ring with crit hit. I have all the witch gems. Tempers. Runes. Even the starless sky ring. 244 Paragon. Pretty sure I have mostly all the right master works . Is heavy handed the most important ?

Why is FoF BIS? If it’s on average 50% more dps, can’t you get more from legendary gloves? For example the strength from a 1GA strength glove masterworked can get you 45%[x] from executioners aspect alone.

I have a question, is vulnerable damage best for this build or is critical strike damage best?

Bold Chieftan is definitely bugged. I blow both shouts in a pack and Im left with one shout with 6 second CD and the other is 20+ seconds. And it’s not like I’m causing the bug by pressing them at the same time, I wait half a second to a second and one is left with 20+ seconds CD. Edit; ok so its even bugged with one shout, no correlation between shouts, one of the two can be unaffected by the aspect.

I hope every build gets nerfed by atleast 30%

It will be interesting when they fix the triple and quadruple dipping on “All Damage [x]” you are using to get damage.

Is there a bug since the lunar update? I cant find the last 2 hex Powers, Not a Single Season Themen shrine , I am p210…

”Leap is bad” —> Leap clears Pit 136 on Pit leaderboards prepatch. It’s not bad, its just not the best.

I don’t find these builds much fun to play

I would swap out the boots for Yen’s blessing. So then You don’t have to use all stats elixir to worry about messing stats for your paragon nodes.

I have a question, how does rob get 4–5 million attack power? I have all the same gear with same stats basically and tempers and masterwork and I only get 1.2 million attacck power. I have same paragon as him too

how do i boost my survivabilty in the pit

Fought Grigoire last night and got that rune that guarantees critical overpower on next attack. I paired it with the rune that stores offering. Overpowers everywhere lol

I wanted to test other builds but Armory is still broken so I’ll have to wait to test this one out

If the armory is working, I might switch over to try it out. The visuals do look badass!

In your planer you say use Polearm but in the Video you use a sword ? What is better ?

Any recommendations for a speed HotA earthquake build if we don’t want to spin? Drop Lith and Inner Calm?

Rob- the ultimate aspect that adds 2 skill points and x percent damage for 8 seconds. When I add aspect my ultimate doesnt add skill points, is this only for the 8 second duration? Thanks.

I use most of this build, but using Tyrael’s Might since it turns me next to invincible. i can do pit 105 in 6 minutes. Just literally walking and only using war cry’s. No other skills. I also use the Bac rune for the earthquakes. just run and run and win!

hi rob thx for the guide. is attack speed important to this build?

Time to nerf barb again!😂

Is EQ duration capped at 100%?

Would Frostburn ever be worth a look for the same reason Ugly Bastard Helm is added? I don’t know the number off-hand but you say fists of fate is basically a 1.5x multiplier and I think frostburn is maybe more than that to fire damage but I guess I don’t know if that’s a [+] or a [x] and what that math would look like to compare the two.

Season is already over now no point

Question: Is this build still viable for those of us without the Expansion?

OK but why when i stand still I don’t spawn earthquakes ? I use same runes !

Really appreciate the in depth explanations, it’s great to be able to understand the details behind how the builds work.

This setup is fine for push, but the Leap version is so much more fun for all content.

He’s talking about triple crits like its nothing meanwhile I’m over here like is it turning yellow even a thing?! lmao

What about the builds that are popping up using HotA + whirlwind? How does that compare to this? Would love to keep spin to win.

rob im using a 2 handed sword for slashing weapon but i was going to change to a polearm which is better?

Grüße aus Deutschland 🎉

how are you losing health at target dummy?

“Finally in a good spot” … previously, it could only do Pit 145 or so 😂 … but it’s good to see they fixed it.
Meanwhile my Quake Barb is stuck at 120 😬 and I wonder how I’d increase my damage another 30x 😵‍💫

bro the one percent on the chest would annoy me so hard xD

My build now wipes all content. And the armory isn’t even working to try another build! Smdh

What’s the point ?

I just make the old version 😅😢

Level 240 here, just can’t get a fucking single igni rune

Hello greetz from germany 👋

I’m not sure if I should wait for the Armory to be back up or just jump in and level glyphs since a couple are changing from my Cota quake build. Either way, this is a great time to be a Barbarian!

Finally

Oh boy here we go
