Nightmare and Beyond

[Taelas]

I don't play much, mostly because I get horrible disconnects all the time, which annoys me enough that I no longer feel like playing. So I'm still in Act 1 NM, but I'm around level 37 at the moment. I normally don't have too many problems just using Cleave with Rupture and Hammer of the Ancients with Rolling Thunder, with Revenge (with Vengeance is Mine) and Wrath of the Berserker (with Arreat's Wail) as panic buttons and I try to keep up Battle Rage with Ferocity as much as possible (though it falls off far too much). My play style philosophy is kill them before they kill me, so I focus mostly on DPS rather than survivability, which I feel keenly when I'm up against something I can't kill fast enough, or Revenge doesn't light up enough for me to save my skin (though this does not happen very often). I should probably use the Smash rune for Hammer of the Ancients instead of Rolling Thunder, as I only really use Hammer when trying to beat an opponent down as rapidly as possible. My passive are also focused on DPS (Ruthless, Weapon Master, and Berserker Rage).

Oh, and of course I use Leap (trying out Iron Impact at the moment, otherwise I've been using Toppling Impact), but what kind of Barbarian doesn't use Leap?
