[QUOTE="RulesJD, post: 6890062, member: 6808367"] 1. Please, I'm begging you, read the actual posts you're responding to. It would save us both the time and effort. Resistance = don't care about getting hit from non-BPS damage sources = more Reckless Attack. Reckless Attack + GWM = biggest damage boost in the game. Your Frenzy Barb is getting tagged with Drow Warrior poison blades and can't go Reckless (or if they do will drop significantly quicker which = 0 DPR), while the Totem Barb doesn't care nearly as much. Damage Resistance = more Reckless Attacking. Additionally, just 1 level of Exhaustion = you're going to fail more shove/grapple checks = enemies have advantage against you = more damage and more dead and more time spent doing 0 DPR. BUT, you are contradicting yourself here...see point #3. 2. Yup. After you said that was your name I checked. We haven't. 3. So wait. In point #1 you stated that more damage = better, because dead enemies. I can agree with that. You claim that the Frenzy barb can do more damage than the Totem Barb builds posted. Yet, in several of the previous posts it's clearly been shown that it doesn't. And then here, you admit that the Totem Barb builds would wreck your Frenzy barb in terms of doing damage...logically inconsistent. YOU have yet to post a build that does more damage than the posted Totem barbs (PAM + GWM which takes all of level 4 to hit). Please, post a level 4 Frenzy Barb build that does more damage, especially considering how long it's likely to live, impact on gameplay of achieving that DPR (almost none for Totem Barb because no downsides). Another post literally tried to do that for you (giving Frenzy Barb PAM + GWM) but you literally stated that the posted build was bad/wrong/etc. So, what's your build for your Frenzy Barb that does more damage than the posted Totem Barb? *edit* I'll likely be at the Strategicon one in I believe September. Would love you see your Frenzy Barb then. [/QUOTE]
