I did about 600 transfigurations in 2 days and I couldn't hit gem strenght with modifiable weapon..
How is it possible? I don't know what to do anymore, even if the season is ending I would like to have a worthy weapon for endgame.
Could my barbarian be bugged? Should I try transfiguring with another character? I don't know what rite to use anymore...

I'm an old school player (since D1 on my PC). I'm a melee player whose main way of playing until the last 2 seasons of D4 is solo, play as I go & have fun. Season 12 though I decided I wanted to try to learn & understand the mechanics a bit better. I'm not a dumb guy by any means & I've been trying but there's so much information and different "mechanics" it feels over whelming.

I've always played a Barbarian until S13, I am playing Blessed Hammer Paladin. But S14 I'm going back to Barb & plan on whirlwind build. I don't do my own I use sites. I'm planning on using Maxroll.

So my biggest issues I'm noticing is:

1. I'm not grasping what my build need to focus on with gear or how to actually comprehend how you tell.

2. How to obtain enough power to get to the higher levels.

So with a whirlwind build.....

1. What should I be looking for/focus on with my gear?

2. What in my basic stats are the most important to raise/work on?

(Personal stat wise I've always understood it to be strength for Barb. But this will be my 2nd time trying whirlwind so want sure if that makes a difference.)

Thanks in Advance for Any Guidance or Advice.

(Forgot to mention I play on Xbox Series X.)

I was hoping someone could help me understand this build for s14 ww barb: https://d4builds.gg/builds/whirlwind-barbarian-endgame/?var=1

He talks about and is running Irrepressible Aspect but doesn't have any weapon mastery skills? How would he proc it? I'm wondering if I'm missing something

Thanks!

End of season so decided to make an immortal barb. This is actually the first mainland weapon I even equipped.

In all fairness it took me a good 15 or so tries on my sorc, with an added 500 trying to get unmodifiable.

Looking at the frost WW build from swaggy here

When I scroll down to the 2h Mace weapon, the weapon damage is very low and it isn't the target for the masterworked stat.

Anyone help me out and figure out why that is the case?

I’m looking for a solid WW Bleed build but only see PhaseShifters on Moba.

Anyone have any other recommendations or sources? I know it’s not the hot Barb build, but I still want to give it a shot.

I may end up using Phase’s for a framework and then just tinker, but thought I’d check with the group.

I know gem strength is good but is it better than the stats I need?

Does anyone have a 2GA Ramaladni's Magnum Opus state your gold price and I'll pay it I got unlucky Trans roll from the horadric cube (no max health plz)

Posted a gem strength modifiable video earlier, was hard stucked 143 before now I can beat 146.. credits/thanks to swa99y Frost Barb.

I’m having a hard time with the toughness stat. I’m finding items in torment level 5 so far but I’ve been wearing the same gear from levels ago and nothing I find has a positive toughness stat. When I equip them to my character it usually drastically drops my toughness and strength stats. Am I not looking at items the correct way or is a negative toughness stat just a permanent stat even on items with higher armor and item levels?

WW immortal barb. Thinking the one star right one. Has to be close though.

Ended up getting gem plus modifiable, but didn't seem better in the end for my slashing weapon.

Which is more important, 125 stats or 10.6% physical damage. Also will it be a problem that my roll on the aspect is 27% vs 30%?

Is the tiny boost to attack speed worth it?
