Possible exploit? - Infinite EarthQuake

[einar300]

Since RoS has come out, there has been new legendaries. Some of them might be bad, but there are a few that combined together can cause hell.

I don't have the gear, nor the time to farm for these items, but in theory it would be possible.

The set items:

Might of the earth have a set bonus which is the following:

At 4 set items:

Cause an Earthquake when you land after using leap.

If you combine this set item with the ring of Royal Grandeur (The ring that makes set items require 1 less set item)
and with the lut socks, you can basically pop earthquake three times.

Now, how can we make this infinite? Well, the cooldown of Leap is just 10 seconds, but if you manage to get some cooldown gear, you can lower that amount significantly.

I mean, you can get it to 4-5 seconds, meaning for every 4-5 seconds you can basically launch 3 earthquakes.

Now the fun doesn't stop there, if you actually manage to get your hands on this gear, you can simply put a Diamond gem in your helm and use earthquake with the rune Mountains call.

And you can also equip the passive skill called Bullkathos or something, reducing earthquake by 15 seconds, meaning you will do a lot of damage.

And from what I know, you can use the last rune of Leap and stun people for a long time, I mean, use ground stomp for the time the enemy is not stunned and the rune when leap is ready to launch.

I mean, you can go on and on with the different possibilities, imagine what you can do with this gear.

What are your thoughts? Will any of this be patched?

Not entirely sure, but sounds like the Earthquake is not the same as the spell you have - would make sense for Blizzard to do something like that.

Actually, I saw a guy kill Ghom in about 30 seconds on Torment 6 using this method, I also saw another guy killing Ghom in about 2 minutes, and he was even using a shield as off-hand.

I believe this is an exploit, I do not believe you are meant to combine this gear, I mean you are able to spawn the most powerful skill as a barb (IMO) and you can use a run with Leap that makes you almost invincible. More and more are acquiring this gear and I believe that people will use this as a build, we just have to wait and see.

You keep posting things that are as intended and not exploits. If it's too powerful and enough barbs start doing it, it will be balanced, but it's not an exploit.

Cleaned up some offtopic posts.

Stay on topic from now on.

If OP has an issue with me, other staff or ownedcore rules/policy, take it in a PM with one of us.

This is an intended build and requires very specific and very rare gear just like the WD 1.5 billion dot build.

This is intended, how else are you suppose to clear t6 content, stacking crit, ias, cd only gets u so far. there's other sets and item combos that gives some crazy dmg output, I could be wrong though. You never know with blizz. lol

So true, I am currently farming for the shards of hate. I can't survive more than torment 3 with the gear I have. I have 10M toughness (1200+ all ress) and over 1M DPS (unbuffed).
