Pri: I am an eccentric mix of just the right amount of stupid, a good blend of lucky, and just a splash of brains. Nine times out of ten when I solve a problem, I’m unsure whether it was an accident or deductive reasoning. Nothing is as fun as surprising yourself. :D

I also love chicken shwarma sandwiches. It is god’s gift to sandwiches.

Pri: I collect porcelain dolls.

Nah…not really…IMAGINE how creepy that would be though lol.

I do, however, play a bunch of percussion instruments. My favorite being a Punjabi drum (Northern India) called a Dhol. I’ve been playing that for about 13 years now.

Other than that not really anything cool. I think I have a pretty impressive whistle. I had a whistle-off with a co-worker AND MAN…was he surprised when I pulled out the Lord of the Rings Theme out of the old blow-hole juke box!! #GG

Pri: Ya know…honestly most of my experience comes with Diablo 3. I played some D2 growing up, but I grew up in very “humble” (that means poor) surroundings so I could only play at my friend’s house. I still remember trying to make a coordinated dance with all of my minions as a necromancer. It was terrible…but you haven’t lived until you have seen minions dance to “Thriller” by Michael Jackson.

Pri: I have a very addictive personality. When you have one of those you really have 3 choices:

1) “Happy Pills”
2) “Loose Juice”
3) Gaming

I figured that the first two options would yield a short-term “hell yeah” life like Nick Nolte and that wasn’t the future I wrote for myself. I figured the only thing bad with the third was maybe watery eyes or a little astigmatism or something…so I went that route.

I earned quarters on a paper route and by doing chores around the house and bought a Super Nintendo on my own (nearly a year after the system came out lol). The rest is history. :]

Favorite games? Diablo 3 (2000+ hours), Path of Exile, Marvel Heroes…pretty much all ARPGs. I also have a guilty pleasure with playing crappy 2-D platformers like Final Fight and TMNT: Turtles in Time lol!

Pri: I love Action RPGs. When I’m not charging, leaping, or twirling…I’m usually playing any other ARPG I can get my hands on. Grim Dawn, PoE, Torchlight 2, Van Helsing…

You name it…I’ve tried to min/max it.

Pri: I play all classes for the most part. At least all of them can pretty much farm T6. I think for Season 2 I might come back as a Wizard. I have never dropped a Wand of Woh and with the increased drop rates I’m excited that I may have a chance!

I feel like I need to at least hold one of those wands at some point in my Diablo career or I’ll probably feel like a complete failure. I’m not trying to be like a 100-year-old Harrison Ford without an Oscar.

I also kinda want an SMK…but I figure I would have to (at least) buy RNGesus a drink for that to happen…

Pri: I was in many clans for a long time and then ended up leaving all of them. I felt like communities better fit my needs (specific types of farming, etc). I have a lot of barb forum dwellers on my friends list so I keep up with most of them there. (Feel free to add me if I don’t :] )

I found that seeing other peoples loot didn’t really accomplish much except make the road to your own awesome legendaries seem that much longer.

As a result I went the route of Zack Galifianakis: “I like to think of myself as a one-man wolf pack.”

Well…I have enough voices in my head to DEFINITELY be a pack….but not enough to be a herd. I think. Never mind…my squirrel brain took over for a second.

Pri: Forgetting to put my pants back on after crafting them and then doing ubers with a group.

“Why is my damage so weird…hmm…must be having an off day.”
“Hmmm what the ****? Why am I taking so much damage?”

Suddenly… MY PANTS!??! WHAT KIND OF SORCERY IS THIS!??!

Pri: Back in 1.08 when the Permawrath build was a thing (bring it back Devs…we know you loved it as much as we did). Most barbs were insisting that the 2.5 breakpoint was the “end all be all” for efficiency. I was one of the few barbs (at the time) that actually pushed to the 2.86 BP and was successfully zzzz-farming MP10.

To this day…I still say if you have never tried weapon throw at 2.86 APS…you haven’t lived. It’s like watching a woodpecker throw axes!

Pri: Barbarian was the only melee class where it seemed “not wearing pants” was a social norm.

Monk…too holy. Demon hunter…too many corsets and high heels. Wizard…something about waving a stick around didn’t seem right. Witch Doctor…seriously STOP SHAKING…you’re making me nauseous.

^ That…and I am addicted to melee classes in all games I play. Nothing beats hitting monsters in the face with massive objects. SMAAASH!

Pri: 1.01: Sword and “I-don’t-think-this-shield-is-doing-anything” Board.
1.08: Dancer just spinning my problems away.
2.0+: Linebacker Barbarian…and occasionally I do the Bunny-hop Pop.

Pri: Hammer of the Ancients: HANDS DOWN. I mean seriously have you guys seen the HAMMER SMASH!!?? And the sounds?? That skill literally feels like you are dropping piles of anvils on people’s heads.

I wish the Devs would make a set that revolves around that skill…I would be all about it. Since the skill right now doesn’t seem to do nearly as much damage as anything else, the viability of it unfortunately puts it to side for now.

It would be sweet if you could flatten monsters like pancakes with every smash lol…oh man…sorry…squirrel brain is back.

Pri: I flip around between the big 3 for barb: Physical WW (Thanks Nub), VileCharge (perfected by many on this forum), and Phys Leapquake.

Pri: I see all characters in this game as a triangle between Power, Defense, and Resource. Currently the barb feels as if they are leaned way towards Power/Defense as opposed to being a fully balanced class. The one thing I would change is to bring a more creative method to gain resource for the barbarian.

Fury on Crit maybe OP (according to some), but maybe some other kind of fury engine? One that will bring the viability of skills like Hammer of the Ancients back. The current meta all revolves around circumventing the barbarian resource because it is the only way the barb actually feels “natural”.

Give us options and reasons to use resource and I promise the creative (smarter than me) barbs in this forum will bring you piles and piles of build variety.

Pri: Since the options are fairly limited, I would have to go with the obligatory Conan. Only because Arnold’s accent in that movie cracks me up completely.

Mongol General: What is best in life?
Conan (Arnold): To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

LOL. Still makes me laugh to this day.

Pri: “Bul-Kathos guides my hand.”

Better question is….WHY AM I LETTING OLD BUL HOLD MY HAND? C’mon guys…I know the hunt for demons is a lonely one but there has to be at least some options out there in the wilderness of New Tristram.

Pri: Hammer of the Ancients. I don’t know the exact specifics of the set, but maybe bring back fury on crit for HoTA only would be pretty awesome. I also would make it so if you had the full set bonus, the size of your hammer doubles lol.

Maybe something conceptually simple?

2 set – Hammer of the Ancients cost is reduced by X% and every time you hammer you gain X% movement speed for a short duration.
4 set – Hammer of the ancient now gains X fury per crit and gains a X% damage gain.
6 set – Hammer of the ancients size is doubled. Hammer of the Ancients also has a chance X% chance to summon an ancient that also uses Hammer of the Ancients.

I imagine the ancients summoned would use the same skill rune as you…and if you are running call of the ancients, the bonuses would apply to them as well. I know there is a one-hander that does something similar…but none of the ancient bonuses carry over so it’s pretty much a wash. :[

Pri: Just have fun. Skill power comes and goes. Sets get strong, weak, then strong again. The ebb and flow of action RPGs has always been like this. Be patient and watch your power grow.

Oh…and if you ever have the option to eat a chicken shwarma sandwich. DO IT. It will change your life.

Pri: Man I have so many I want to hear from.

Phantom #11548 (Aka Death) would have to be my pick. He has quite a bit of experience it the barb class. Sometimes he comes off a bit “rough”…but that’s kinda his thing lol.

Other options would be RK (RagingKoala), page (but he rarely speaks as is), and KevinTSmith.

So many I want to hear from…WHY I CAN ONLY PICK ONE??

Pri: Something off the wall completely.
“If you were a fruit in a fruit basket…which one would you be and why?”
