Carnage, Mobs stance, charge, battle axe modal, will all this stack well together or is it just silly? Or worse, does any one of these negate the other?

SEEMS like Carnage does not apply bleed from battleaxe. Though I am surprised to see it hitting the main target so its not a useless attack vs just one enemy.

Brute is just BRUTAL.

You combine 30% Hit to Crit with Disciplined Strikes (another 25% Hits to Crit) + Helemet that gives you another 15% + Lucky Strikes + any weapon that give you such bonus and you have at least 75% Hits to Crit.

 

With Frenzy you always pop Nature Godlike +2 Power Bonus.

 

You take Devoted for another pentration bonus.

Then you have Cleave Stance + Carnage + Charge + Barbarian Blow.

He anhilities screen.

And fighter helps him not being squishy as much (Rapid Recovery + Vig. Defenses).

What stats and race do you suggest?

Percentages of conversions don't get added. Since they are rolled one after the other until one works (or none of them) the overall chance can be calculated like so:

 

0.7(Tenacious)*0.75(Intuitive)*0.85(helmet)*0.95(Lucky) - 1 = ~57.6%

 

Even with 50% and 50% in the beta you didn't reach 100% but "only" 75%.

 

But it's still good. I wouldn't pick Lucky though because it only raises your conversion chance from 55.3% to 57.6% and I think that's not worth the talent point in this case.

 

However, Brute is really strong like Voltron said. I'm playing it right now with Whispers of Yenwood. Ouch ouch ouch!

 

Tested Blood Thirst + Cleaving Stance via console and that's very nice. Comes late though.
