In WW barb build, will this proc reduce (around 120%) at Patch 1.0.5 will be sustainable?

Much thanks guys!

As LOH will be getting a massive nerf in this build, Life steal and high DPS will be required to achieve the same kind of healing we could before.
The minimum attack speed and crit requirement to make the build work will rise as fury generation is taking a significant hit.
WotB uptime will no longer be able to go for 100% of a run, that was overpowered anyway.

All in all I like the changes, they made the build more expensive to run to be more in line with other classes gearing it seems.

Looks like WW barbs has been nerfed this current patch while the Wizard is still as powerful as ever .
Sigh.

Were you able to test this? I've read some accounts that said different.

Also why is everyone saying 60% when the pric rate was dropped by 120%?

The build is fine, less healing and a lot less WotB uptime.
Overpower - crushing advance is my recomendation for War Cry replacement and the new Animosity talent helps a ton with gimped fury gen. Life steal with decent DPS will be required to do the really high MP levels.

Any particular reason why choose crushing advance rune over lets say revel?

The 35% reflect damage is that from the base damage done of monsters or after damage reduction from resist/armor?

They changed the damn skill so many times, I'm trying to find out what it actually does and doesn't do now :P
I am really not sure as to how crushing advances damage redirect is affected by your defence and Im having a hard time finding out any info on it :S
It was definitely a nice boost to damage over the other runes and in big packs of high health monsters the survivability it gave seemed better than the nerfed war cry. I was actually unaware it no longer procced LOH and was surprised by how much survivability I still got from it.

I was trying this all out in MP 6 and 7 thou, and it seems the lower levels are more efficient at the moment and maybe a more DPS focused skill should be used. Rend maybe? I don't like that it has a fury cost thou :(

I would like to spend more time testing stuff on PTR but I can't bring myself to spend too much time on a character that is going to get wiped. My build and gear still works and that is all I needed to know, thou I feel I need more LS and survivability for higher levels of MP.
I do not know how my gear compares to other barbs thou, not really sure what the average level of gear is.
Overpower-CA seems to be a favorite among a few other ww barbs trying out PTR so I tried it out and loved it.
