Vulnerable GA is needed once to reach precise 45%(x) multiplier for Hemorrhage
Crit chance GAs are extremely important to have to reach 100% CSC with an Elixir
Triple DPS amulet for maximum output as we can reach 100% CSC without it on the amulet
Damage over time over Crit Strike Damage affixes as Flay is mostly just DoT damage and CSD is no longer multiplicative
GA Strenght and 3x MW is extremely important for our %STR amulet to reach over 3100 STR for maximum Rupture output
Fists of Fate must be GA CSC and preferably Lucky hit. Lucky CC have to be high rolls to maximise on Creeping Death
Harrogath needs GA CSC for 100%
Gems in weaponery are a mix of Greens and Blues to reach 45%(x) Hemorrhage - we do NOT want Orange as they do not buff Rupture

How it Plays

Stack enemies with Steel Grasp
Spam your Shouts for 100% uptime and Raid Leader healing
Spam Rupture in AoE for instant refresh of all cooldowns through Harrogath and massive AoE DPS together with CC
In single target use Rupture when Wanton Rupture aspect is up (golden border around Rupture when NOT under the effect of its buff)
In the pit, keep moving towards the exit pulling enemies with you thanks to Steel Grasp
Use Steel Grasp to reapply vulnerable in AoE or to get berserking (in case it falls of) in Single Target
Rinse and Repeat

How it Works

This build makes up for the massive nerf to barbarians through the addition of Shard of Verathiel which is a massive DMG boost to our basic skills through +Basic Skills ranks, which we want to have with GA and masterworking, as well 200%(x) multiplier. It also gives us massive boost to Attack speed, which together with the reworked Ring of Starless Skies amd Fists of Fate is enough to reach 100% attack speed cap 1.

Thanks to Shard's effect making our Flay cost fury, we can now get a massive 50%(x) through Starless Skies as well as upto 27.5% CSC with masterworks which helps us reach much needed 100%.

Due to Gushing Wounds nerf we are maxing out on Strenght as CSD is no longer multiplicative and thus loses value. Maxing out on STR also gives us massive 620%(x) for Rupture explosion.

This build is super min maxed for the highest level of play with precise multipliers like Hemorrhage and Blood Rage as well as precisely activating every single paragon node AND MORE.

Requires Best in slot gear with some must have 2 GA items to reach all the caps etc.
