Hey everyone!

I have decided to move on pretty fast from my bowzon. To be honest, there wasn't much to say about her beside bowzons can't find shit when it comes to mf... they rely so much on damage and resists that one cannot farm key spots without taking risks. Taking risks is part of the game and P8 HC doesn't forgive whenever you make a mistake in hell. A physical/freezing arrow bowzon might have been to much to chew on for a return.

I am now turning back to a character that I have played over and over on Battle.net. There are few secrets I am not aware of when it comes to this character. I will attempt to reach the high ends of the game while being able to farm key spots of the game, and still be able to progress whenever it is needed.

I have once heard over here that this character is nearly invincible when well built and I must agree on that part. I have played several HC seasons before and I have yet to face a challenge hard enough to take on with this character. I still don't know which road I will take with this character, since it is heavily relied on finding a key weapon to be effective. Therefore, I am not closing any doors concerning this future character. For now, I will consider any build depending on what I find in the game. I have played most builds on this character and I feel comfortable with it. So far, I lean toward a 2-hand build with Conc/Zerk mix.

Let me present you... Beast, the Barbarian.



Rules/Goals:

P8 at all times, P1 only allowed for Countess reruns.
Ladder runewords enabled -> *I will explain why.
Reach lvl 90+
Beat the game in Hell mode
Have fun

* I have decided to play with ladder runewords because I felt I have hit a wall with my bowzon. I would have been able to go much further if ladder runewords were enabled and I don't want to hit the same boring wall with this character. So many possibilities can be done with a Barbarian and I don't want them to be taken away from the game.

Thank you for following and I hope you will have as much pleasure reading my progression as I will playing this character.
