Skills/stats for an IK Barb?

[Khull]

I checked the stickies and 2 pages back and found nothing on this:

My barb has full Ik set (obviously, hance the name of thread) The problem is I can't decide weather to do WW or Conc or what. I already know Most of my stats except dex.

Thanks in advance.

Sell the gear and make a Warcry barb.

 

[Khull]

Wtf Kao?! It took me a while to trade for some of that stuff...

 

[Kao]

Lol sorry, but only the Armor is worth anything, and no shield in hell is quite retarded unless you max out Shout, which you will probably need to do.

 

[Guru]

Max mace
Max shout
Max BO
Max ww
rest in iron skin and inc speed

stats

str enough to use
dex base
rest in vita
base nrg

Max mac?

 

[Weeeman02]

mac = mace = ik weapon

 

[drax]

Oh.

I thought it stood for something, I thought it was like M.A.C.

 

[Kao]

M.A.C. And where would you get what that means? (in d2 terms).

 

[Guru]

(M)ax m(A)ce mastery (C)unt. I thought it was common talk

I saw a conc ik barb that didn't do too bad in hell too..

 

[Weeeman02]

Im such a noob, i didnt know what mac stood for

*noob*

Would IK set be ideal for a Conc Barb then? *starts to research Concentration and uninterruptable*

At Level 20 without any Synergies:

Defense Increase: 290%
Attack Increase: 250%
Damage Increase: 165%

Estimating probably something like +5 from your gear (3 Set, Highlords, Annihilus).

Assuming you have only +5 from skills, and maxing out Shout, Mace Mastery, Battle Orders, and Concentration, (and one in Battle Command) without skill quests, you would be done at 83. With Skill quests, drop that down to 71. With the remaining points, I would put them into Berzerk.

Lets see.

20 Shout
20 Battle Orders
20 Mace Mastery
20 Concentration
10 Berzerk
1 Battle Command
1 Natural Resistances
1 Iron Skin

+ Prereqs.

Required Level with Skill Quests: (86-12) 74. Assuming your barbarian is level 85, that leaves 10 points extra.

No it wouldn't be most ideal..but it's a good set to use with conc.

I'd suggest a BotD build..like most barbs use..

 

[Guru]

I like WW better in pvm for the CC, but I suppose he could make a conc barb

 

[Ntrik_]

Its always fun to play IK barbs as tanker in pvm

or pvper ith conc, but just make sure you got some pt in natural resistance I guess, max resistance > sorcs

 

[IDefy]

Khull you copy cat. I just made mine to have a character that glows.

 

[Khull]

I wouldent say copycat... I just thought about what to make next and an IK barb sounded good. Duel IK barbs...nothing wrong with that

Besides IK is one the the easiest sets to get...it took me 10 minutes to trade for the whole thing.

EDIT: Why do you say no dex on the guid? I'm at lvl 17 and with base dex I cant hit shit. Even with putting all in Mace I still wont be able to hit anything.

Well wouldnt that defeat the purpose of the ik barb? but yeah my buddy has a kick ass ik barb ile post the general lay out
Max-shout
Max-Bo
Max-mace mastery
Max-edit
devide the rest between concentrate,iron skin,and natural resistance

its a pretty inexpensive build cept for the armor of course, and ule wanna spend some money gettin a nice duped ring and ammy combo.

 

[Jason]

I'm saying that BotD setup > IK setup.
