Barbarian?

[mr_mimecrime]

Hi!
I think the time has come to create an barbarian, now I just don know what skill point i should put?
My plan is like this now:

20 Sword Mastery
8 Iron Skin
?? Natural Resistance
?? Dubble Swing
20 Whirlwind

I dont like Warcries so much but if you insist you can write down your "tactic" .

Iam from Sweden so my english is pretty bad...

 

[Arkhon]

The Cookie-Cutter barb has :

20 Sword Mastery
20 Whirlwind
20 Battle Orders
5 Iron Skin, Natural Resistance, Increased Speed
Rest into Shout/Berserk or enything else you want basically

 

[Misterwhippy]

if you want to make a 2 sword barb for christs sake dont max double swing, max frenzy.

 

[mr_mimecrime]

Okay, but how many should i take on Double Swing then?

 

[Misterwhippy]

one on double swing because its a pre req. for frenzy if youwant that. but your gonna suck with 2 swords. use sword and sheild...

 

[YeoKeh]

dont lack lif eor ur gone in hell cows

 

[Guru]

yea, IMO, an average barb has about 3k life , a very good barb has about 4k life, and and an awesome barb has over 5k (it is almost impossible to get that much life legit, normally ones who do have that much use a lot of .08(ie. .08 valor, .08 gf, .08 shako would give u shitloads of life rangeing over 6k)

But, does Frenzy work with one sword and one shield?

 

[Misterwhippy]

no frenzy requires 2 swords.

I have a frenzy barb, lvl 85. big waste of time. dont do it. I even used litsabre and doom.

 

[Arkhon]

lightsabre and doom on a frenzy barb? their's your problem. Frenzy barb = Dual Shaeffer's

and frenzy barbs, built right with the right equip are alot of fun and can own.

 

[Guru]

yes and u do know that frenzy can be combined with other moves? so u could u frenzy than ww and get the added bonuses of frenzy...atleast thats what i think, arreat summit said u could use it in combinations but i've never made a frenzy barb so im not 100% sure of it

Dueling barb good one-

20sword master
20batle orders
20whirlwind
??natural res it depends
and maybe a little in

 

[YeoKeh]

dude barbs are the best

 

[xaru]

barbs rule...u can make two types that own: "mr.indestructible" and "cookie-butter" which arkhon described. yes...indeed barbs own....mr.indestructible is expensive...con rings (white rings if ur a rich freak), maras ammys, 0.8 gaze(25%dam reduce) and all those perfect shafts and strings....a cheap one would be normal shaft, gaze, all those dam.reduce.and resist. all you need is natural resist, iron skin, and shout since my defense goes up to 5000 when i use it. those barbs are rar in d2, cuz of their price mostly. cookie-butter barbs on the other hand....haha max whirlwind, max sword mastery, and split the rest into battle orders and shout. put 5 into battle command. easy...you got a dam good barb. just dont use lightsabre...i mean ive seen worst: newbies who use jade tan do or alibaba with perfect emeralds...(dont ask me)

 

[Arkhon]

u meaning for pvp?
because wouldnt shout and iron skin be useless in pvp because of the current eth bug?
or is this a combo, pvp/pvm barb?
