I’ve always been bad at minmaxing, playing games mainly for stories and escapism. With Diablo though the whole fun is in progression, gearing up, etc.

After completing pre-season campagin on a Sorc and a Necro, I decided to go with a Barbarian for Season 1.

All was fine and dandy until around now. I am at level 51. Content in Tier 1 and Tier 2 is pretty much a cakewalk. Content in Tier 3 is frustratingly hard. I have no idea how to gear up, as most stuff that drops for me in T2 is pretty low compared to what I painstakingly grinded through many many death-per-dungeon runs trying Tier 3.

I leveled using Hammer of the Ancients, but got bored of it and switched to Whirlwind (which I have fond memories of). Problem is, naturally in Fury management. Unless the area is absolutely packed with mobs, I don’t seem to be able to sustain the whirlwind for long enough. On T2 it’s OK. I do some fury generation then get back to it. On T3 by the time I get the bar filled again I’m usually dead.

Any idea what should I be doing? Is there some harder T2 stuff that rewards better gear? Or maybe easier T3 stuff?

At the moment if not careful I can die to even roaming elites in T3, while in T2 I can sleepwalk through pretty much everything I’ve seen…

HALP, PLZ <3

    You should not have this much issue in WT3 especially seeing as you’re level 51. I suspect you either have a really bad build or you’re not making use of the codex to at least get the Legendary aspect that syncs well with your main damage dealer attack.

    I would suggest taking a look at maxroll builds for example. You don’t have to copy them entirely if you don’t want to to bit it will at least give you good pointers on how to itemize your build and how to have synergies as well as how to play it. https://maxroll.gg/d4/build-guides?filter[classes][taxonomy]=taxonomies.classes&filter[classes][value]=d4-barbarian

    Finally when switching to WT3 usually my first priority is to get sacred weapons with the highest DPS as it increases your attack power by a lot and males the content a lot easier.

    Hope you’ll be able to pull it off !

      I’ve been following the build from Max roll to the letter. I think it may be my weapons… I even slotted proper aspects and still can’t keep that rage up…
