Want a migraine? Look at their R6-HOTA guide: There's already so much bad info out there about builds and such, so who needs more of it floating around? While none of those are game-breaking, it adds up to a lot of little inaccuracies. They even claim Hellfire amulets are inferior to Mara's or Xepherian amulets! They fail to mention the easiest Grandeur option: wear Mantle of Channeling! Finally, they claim that Trapped is better than Taeguk in end-game pushes, something the Barb community over in the official D3 forums corrected 4 Seasons ago. In fact, Animosity is a flat-out wasted passive in the build. They also advice Nerves of Steel and Animosity as good passives to get on a Hellfire, neither of which will do you much good. That is inferior to the optimized build presented in the guide I linked and wrote-you roll IAS, not CDR, on weapons to better take advantage of the interactions between the Zodiac ring, your attack speed, and Pain Enhancer's secondary affix. For example, in their current WW guide, they want 40% CDR in the build and they want you to roll CDR on one weapon. Icy Veins is a better source, but their Barb guides have always been a little off. Most of the guides on Diablofans are several degrees worse-trash that should be avoided. A good guide will cover that, and most streamers, YouTubers, and guide authors don't put that level of thought into their content. And that's the thing: some Barb builds require a very specific play style or gear setup-or both-to be successful.

Scroll through their guides and you'll find endless copy-paste jobs made by folks without any real understanding of the build's nuances. Earlier today, I told someone not to trust Barb build guides found on Diablofans or Icy Veins, and when asked why, I posted a version of what follows.ĭfans has no moderation-anyone can make a 'build guide,' post it, and mislead countless others.
