It was a slight exaggeration upon retrospection. But it was the number I immediately though of, so that at least means it's happened enough times for me to think it common.
I'll fully admit I haven't done the math. I like the feel of loot (rarely) popping from chests, elites, destructibles, etc. Grifts feel too...sanitized.

I think I have burnt myself out on the season 2 so far. I can't even imagine playing 8 hours + a day like the streamer fucks. It has to be mind numbing. I think what has killed it is the pure brick wall you end up in and then you can't even really push yourself to do better. I can keep trying for higher level keys but even that relies far to much on the type of mob, mob density, and maybe a well places pylon or two, more so than any upgrade or piece of gear will grant me at this stage.

I'm in this boat, been just full clearing rifts at T6 and leveling a new Monk heh.
I think I am starting to feel the burn out myself. I started playing again in season 2 and I still can't solo t6 yet just to throw that out there, but I am just not getting anywhere (been leeching to try and get there). Out of all the slots I basically have 2 pieces (bracers and weapon) of gear for my BiS setup. As others have pointed out it just seems like I am hitting a brick wall constantly since I can fill up my whole inventory with orange and not get an upgrade.
I feel like the Blood Shards could be a source of alleviating this by increasing the cost of the items you can buy with them but maybe giving you a choice (like I can choose for it to be a Kridershot) of what you pick but still making the stats roll randomly. I dunno, I suppose like somebody else mentioned it is suppose to just be slot machine city though and that is the entire premise of the game.

You're leaving out a lot of information here. Not sure if I should message you and prepare the lube or what.

Have you tried the standardphysical FC build? Even without a Heart Slaughter I think it's the way to go.

Christ that feels terrible, effective, but terrible. Charging into/through a pack, hit stomp, stand still while I find a spot to click again, get wrekt.

When you read though this it feels like they didn't learn a fucking thing. Players do like difficulty, they just don't like impossible/broken content. It's funny how they refer to 10 years of work from Blizzard North when they tossed out all version of the game they were working on and fired all of them. Then had the balls to post tweets about how they hated the Bliz north people.
Really it's just sad because instead of learning and working to make the franchise better they will just continue to buttfuck it's corpse. Might be nice if they would apologize for fucking wowification main-stat retardation. Fuck these donkey fuckers.

Yeah, it does work pretty well; my barb has the basic stuff with a lot of awful rolls and no Parthans yet and I can do low/mid-30's GRs with 7-ish minutes to spare. I don't have a PoC either, so I'm using War Cry and Chilanik's still. No ancient Heart Slaughter or Furnace is what is really holding me back anyway.
Main thing I dislike about it is that you end up with something stupid bound to LMB (Stomp in my case). And the Rift Guardian fight is just retarded. You either have to plan ahead for the RG to spawn somewhere near a power shrine, or you have to hope that the first CotA/WotB is enough to drop it to 75% if it's one of the ones that shits out a lot of adds. Preferably both of those things if you really want to kill it quickly.

It's that finding another spot to click again that's the issue, sometimes you find it, and you smash the pack, sometimes you don't and it's GG unless IP is off cooldown.
Basically, I don't have a physical SoJ (only cold, no socket), and I don't have 2 Unitys, nor a decent weapon. So it seems that build runs faster clears (at least with Strongarms), but with the APDs it's no where near the speed, but I don't die as often from not having a spot to click on to get out or if I fuck it up horribly and double charge into a pack that gets smashed on the first charge leaving me with no charges.
Kinda why I stuck with the FC build, but used Whirlwind just to move around.

I think the feel of charging comes with time. Once you hit the 38% CDR, which you could go for more but I suggest this at least that much, you can charge forever in packs. If you get packs together pretty well you should never have to stop and if they're really clumped up you should make your charges pretty much on top of your own body so you can charge faster.

After messing around some more today, I'm basing my Barb off this now:T6 Speedrun Barbarian - Diablo3Barbarians. I think it's a lot better for doing from T6 to low 30's GRs, which is what I'm focusing on to try to get better versions of the gear that I already have while hoping RNGesus finally decides to give me an ancient HS or Furnace (never going to happen). Basically it's similar to what you were doing with WW except it uses Sprint/RLtW instead.
Det0x averages about 2.5 minutes per RG-only clear with it, and it takes me more like 4 minutes.My gearif you want to see how much worse gear can be than what the guide calls for and still work well. I do have 37.56% CDR though, which is just barely enough to instantly refund a FC charge on a 3 mob hit. Not sure how much it will be hurt by not having a phys SoJ; I have one and I can charge T6 champs/elites a couple times and move on and they will die to my DoTs. Still don't have any Strongarms though, except the holy ones my Crusader uses.
