![]() There could be some new combinations if you took this direction. Actually, if you implemented this and allowed Barbs to use a two-handed weapon with one hand you might bring back the sword and board barb. So many defensive gems going unused suggests that the designers never thought this one through, and this might be one potential solution. Just a thought, as I understand that this may introduce all kinds of unknown dynamics. It might even solve some problems like Necros not having enough mitigation. And added mitigation will allow more characters to do higher GRs without z characters. So adding a 4th slot just for defensive gems may make them actually useful. Well guess what, most people will opt for 3 dps and not use the defensive, which brings in the need to carry a zcharacter in the group. One of the design flaws of this game is that they tried to give characters a choice of 3 gems and mixed in both dps and defensive gems. ![]() If you look at the group meta, zmonks and zbarbs can already survive 150 so they don’t need to be tankier. What I mean is that if they allow a 4th socket for defensive gems only, then you may be able to play in groups without a z character, or maybe just one, which would open up a slot for another dps. If you buff Y to be stronger than X, X becomes weaker than Y. If you want any kind of decision making when players create builds, you have to give them at least 1 decision to make, and in D3 that decision is most of the time “wear item X or item Y”, and ultimately, if a player chooses X, it’s because Y is weaker. ![]() There will always be items that are weaker. Or you can create a completely new boot item (the boots of the ferocious kangaroo, let’s go), if that’s what you want. Instead you buff whatever (Blade of the tribe, Lut socks come to mind) to buff leap quake without creating a new “ankle” item slot. It would be like saying “hey, Leap quake is not a competitive barb build, we should create a new gear slot for ankles, and only leap quake could equip this new ankle item that would quadruple the damage, making it competitive”. ![]() Some gems really are worthless, especially Moratorium, but these gems should be buffed to be competitive with other gems instead of giving them a special niche place where they could (but never would, like, you’d never see moratorium used on a quiver as long as esoteric exists) be socketed. Eso is still a very good gem early on, for some support builds, and even some DPS builds have used it (thinking of condemn crusader, roland crusader for example). Just throwing some ideas out there for the build, as it’s quite fun and entertaining to play to me.I only care that items that get neglected or overshadowed by other competitors Adds: Leap gains the effect of the Iron Impact rune and the rune’s effect and duration are increased by 150% ![]() Lut Socks: Leap can be cast up to three times within 2 seconds before the cooldown begins. Girdle of Giants: Seismic Slam increases Earthquake damage by 200-250% 500-600% for 3 seconds.īlade of the Tribes: Non-legendary affix “Increases Earthquake Damage by 150-200%” 300-400% Additionally, Leap gains the effect of the Iron Impact rune and the rune’s effect and duration are increased by 150% Earthquake gains the Cave-in Rune. Maybe not a top tier build, but at least WORTH PLAYING.Ĥ-piece Might of the Earth: Leap causes an Earthquake when you land. By utilizing Lut Socks boots and Blade of the Tribes you can trigger Earthquake six times at once (one original cast, three from leaps with Lut Socks power. I feel like the set itself doesn’t really need a change in number values, but completion pieces could use a little help and make it semi-viable once again. To me, Leapquake barb is one of the most fun builds to play for barb and it seems to be the set that gets the least attention. Can we please get some updates on this set? Or the accompanying legendary items that it uses? Thus as of 4 hours ago she could still drop them, however a Blue post indicated that Lut Socks are among those items which are intended to be removed from Gambling and become a torment-only drop within the game - with no exact ETA when it might happen. ![]()
