Recently made fortress barb, tons of fun being lazy and tanky!

Wondering what are the specialties of this build and what do you guys use it for?

What can it do?
i.e. unformed land/duncraig?

Can it "cheese" any harder ubers or something specifically?

I remember someone said they farmed the void for shrines with this, what kind of gear is required for this

Im kind of a new to this build so im using a tu6 glaive for the fortress on kill proc. this scales with dex so I have plenty of atk rating. Should I be using something else?

What are easy places to get OW? I always heard crushing blow is important

Also are you referring to void for OW necessity

indeed fortress barbarians are fun to play . there are many ways to play such a build , mostley because you can't go for fortress alone , you need at least 1 more skill to combine it with , be it a melee skill / summons / hawk talons / something else (with fortress as a support skill)

you got lots of skill combinations out there , lots of stance combinations and good gearing options . there are at least 8 totaly different ways to play a fortress barbarian . one of those can be found in my compilation

you just have to aim for lots of procs "on striking" and "after kill" .

Assuming i have both mythael and imperous set which build would be better for farming especially toraja?

UHC with Imperous set that has maxed Tainted Blood and uses Summon Edyrem on RMB + Mind Flay on LMB or vice versa is better for farming Toraja.

Considering other ubers - why don't you just try both sets and compare killspeed by yourself?

Press P and invite him into a party. He has to accept.

Is there a cap to avoid? 50%?
