Patriarch GiebRunes - The 1.13 Council Whirler
With the release of 1.13 and the increased rune drops, I decided to jump on the bandwagon and make my own barb to run the Council. I Pated him this morning after he sat at Act 3 Hell for about a week.

Questing:
Like all my characters, I plowed through most of normal using the 1.09 Ravenclaw. Once I hit level 34, I threw on an Upped Steeldriver and started using Whirlwind. It was pretty nice being able to throw some points into Mace Mastery for twinking and to not have to worry about stat points as much. I ran through Nightmare with around 2.5k life because of this. I typically have about 200 stat points saved up until I hit Hell, so being able to respec take away that needless difficulty. Somewhere around Act 4 or 5 of Hell, I hit level 63 and put on 'Grief', 'Oath', and 'Fortitude'. 1.13 didn't make the game too easy, 1.10 did
. The rest of the game was a cakewalk after this. In Hell, basically everything dies after one pass of Whirlwind. I think Hell Diablo had took 5 passes to kill.
The Future:
Hell Travincal, CS, and Baal most likely. The removal of IM makes the WSK and CS a pretty fun area for melee builds in my opinion. I built him only with the intention of running the Council, but I think he can be a pretty good MFer if I switch his gear around a bit. Running the Council is pretty safe as well, except for when one of them spawns FE/CE or LE. Those tend to get the better of me still.
Thanks for reading and if there's any questions feel free to ask
