Concentration BARB?

[ZConnor]

Ok, I just finished my frenzy barb build. He's nasty good and fun but I want to build another barb.

I'm thinking about a concentration barb. I don't know anything about this build type.

Is it better to have two weapons or can you use one, like a hellslayer?

Should you develop another skill like beserk or WW [which I don't like much anymore]?

Anyone like this build? If so, could you give a little shout about why you like it?

Thanks in advance!

Oh yeah, this is a PvM char.

i have a concentration barb... works real nice... it doesnt do as much dmg as berzerk.... but it adds around 10 k defense while your swinging.... theres is no point of using 2 swords.. because concentration only swings with one sword... so 1 of your swords will never be used... your gonna need a stormshield be effective... its good for duels, and if u have good equipment you can take out a ww barb with ease.

But i still suggest having 1 skill point in berzerk and in whirlwind...

i like it though... cause my barb has about 30 k defense... and it gets a little hard for ppl to hit me...

What about PvM?

I don't duel much so I don't want to spend time creating a dueling char.

well with pvm... its not as good cause in groups well its slow... cause you only can hit one monster at time... but they barely hit you back... so you will have a hard time dying... unlees you in act 4 chaos sanctuarry where iron maiden gets you... i just add 1 skill to ww for pvm does enough dmg for me.

also note though.. fighting baal is the best with a concentration barb. cause you attack is not interuptible.. so when does that little kick thing and that blue wave comes out and kncoks everyone back.. your still standin there hackin away at him

I hate people with the lack of d2 knowledge..

Why would you tell him to put 1 pt into berzerk when it's a synergy?

20 Bash
20 Battle Orders
20 Berzerk
20 Concentrate
5 Whirlwind
5 Iron Skin
5 Natural Resistance
5 Increased Speed
Rest into pre-reqs and if u want, a mastery..

Str - 200
dex - 135
vit - rest
enr - none

This build should be quite effective in both pvm and pvp

somewhat ironic, cause that build is not so great.

correct me if im wrong, but beserk gives 1% per lvl. that is not reasonable to max or waste 20 points for a 20% dmg increase.

i cant think of a better place for those 20 points. Can we say "shout"?

also, you dont need 200 str. 190 max. if you have decent gear, arreats and ss add quite a bit.. 50 or so.

thats why i only said put 1 skill into it... cause puttin more is totally pointless... the only reason u are puttin 1 in to it... is for the physical immunes. so please dont say i dont know much... until you really know wat your talkin bout... the only synergy i use on him ... is battle orders... cause its adds tons of life ... plus increases concentration 10% per lvl

here is the way i made my barb...

20 sword mastery
20 concentration
20 battle orders
20 shout

1 berzerk
1 whirlwind
1 battle commands

and from there its really your choice on what you want to do from there... currently my barb is lvl 88 and im maxin iron skin... just cause i like to stand there and have ppl hack away at me with barely hitting me

plz note ... my guy was made for a simple plans of sittin there with diablo clone.. and letting him try and kill me... i later on realized i should of made a berzerk barb cause diablo clone does not do much physical dmg.. but o well i wasnt thinking... i still like my concentrator in duels though

 

[WildfireFX]

wow, i really wasnt talking to you. little defensive, eh?

 

[tigerkiller]

wildfire i wasnt really talkin to you either... my post was in response to jason.. basically callin me a noob

 

[Ntrik_]

tiger killer, everything is good, but put 20 into bash after you max out everything u listed, then concen will pwn


anyways, i dun c how concen barb can be good pvm, he would be jus ult tanker you know =/

 

[tigerkiller]

yeh well he was made for diablo clone basically thats why i named him... DcTanker_Lund first part of the name is basically wat it means... and then lund is punjabi for dick... so it DcTanker_dick
