The Bva barb as i like it - its nothing new and special.

First a few musts:

U must have str bug on your barb. sync wws are awesome.
U must have Oak / sob / how setups.
U must have cube in inv.
When facing bow teams u borrow one of ur team mates cta out in the field when bo´ing, cuz then u can bring a beast with u in other weaponslot which is good when u killed the bower.

This is not a big guide etc, just how i think they are build best (wont add hybrid rws, even though it would make it better, but 99% of people cant afford there)


I wont write tons of pvp tactics as that is something u have to figure out by playing it alot But if u have a question u can write me or post here.

I am sorry if there are alot of typing mistakes.



Inventory:

Anni
Torch
2 x 5 fhr 5 all res
2 x 5 fhr 17 mana (yes u need mana on a barb)
29 x 322
The horradic cube In the horradic cube u have: 2 sojs + 3 wc x repl life amu + 6 bo 6 shout 2 socked with 2 dols (life repl) helm + Demon limb (for enchant) + TG
You can ofc choose to be just a leapwhore and then use warcry skillers in inv instead, but its so zZz not being able to do gz dmg, however its sometimes needed vs some teams.


The first setup which i use against bow teams are:

Arreat with 40 9 str (dont wanna base my mb on jewels dex as i also have cirkle setup)
Storm "ber"
Perf ravenfrost
Wisp 20 (gives u oaks / Sob / how - which is very usefull vs necros and bowers) and it absorb bolt dmg from ama.
Arach
Grief ba
HL
Upped gores
To gloves
Enigma greater hauberk (when u are high lvl, i reccon it was 98+, as u loose your str bug with AP)

In other weapon slot:

Cta
3 wc 30 str club with 2 jewels with 9 str 4 repl on each jewel. (u use this to get str bug)


Other items in stash:

Draculs
Barb caster helm 2 barb 20 fcr 30 frw 20 dex xx all res 2 socked "Shael shael"
Griffon with 7 fhr 40 ed jewel Or 1.08 walk if u can afford with 40 9 str.
Guili 40 9 str
2 x 20.11 light res (u can also have more on mule chars along with 20.11 crs, but it isnt that important)
Perf coa with Ber + Ber
Perf coa with Cham + ber
Beast ba
2 x fcr rings - i used to play with 10 fcr 119 ar 39 life 4 repl 90 mana 6 all res (i reccon that was the stats) and 10 fcr 119 ar 19 str 3x life 8x mana xx light res
Hotspurs
Another perf ravenfrost
Nature peace (for high lvl oak vs necs)
Viper eye ring (old patch ring on eu with 63 light res was nice against vt or foh)
2 x 322s
Dungo or bug belt



SKILLS and stats


Stats
Max block with main setup as i just posted. (thats wearing the wisp ofc)
Rest in vita

Skills
1 howl
All remaining points in shout
Max bo
Max axe mastery
1 in each passive (res, stamina, increase speed, iron skin)
1 in bash
1 in stun
1 in concentrate
1 in zerk
Max Leap
1 in leap attack
Max whirlwind


Another mb setup which gives u open wounds (if u cant afford grief of doom)

Instead of arreat u use 2 barb 20 fcr 30 frw 20 dex xx all res 2 socked "Shael shael" (and with this u can use 2 x 322s instead of 5 fhr 5 all res)
And instead of TO gloves u use Draculs


1v1 vs Hammerdin:

Andelich set rings and amu
Guili helm
Beast instead of shield
Dracul instead of TO

- make sure u stack alot of mana

Vs smiter

Andelich rings and amu
Bug belt
Coa ber cham
Dracul gloves or To (can be usefull )

And if no BB

Andelich rings and amu
Dungo
Coa Ber Ber
Dracul gloves or To (can be usefull )

Vs necro:

Beast instead of shield
Guili 40 9 str
Nature peace instead of wisp (for better oak)


Or u can do a 63 fcr setup with griffon or 1.08 valk.

Vs druid

Coa Cham ber
Bug belt or dungo
Beast instead of shield
Fcr rings
To gloves


Vs sin

Guili helm
Beast instead of shield
Fcr rings
To gloves
TG

Vs bow
Use main setup, if u loose i laugh

Vs java
TO gloves
2 ravenfrost
Tg
Guili helm (if u have enoughe res) else arreat works fine.




Might be i forgot some setups vs some chars that are used alot.. just write me or post here and i answer what i would prefer to use

Vs some chars i used alot of different setups depending on their playstyle.


Take it or leave it... happy new year.

i don't see sc 451 poison ...

Nope Tbh i dont remember exactly how it was (its been quite some time since i played) but its something with venom u can cast on grief is getting reduced by the 451 sc (the duration or something)

The sc gets reduced by the venom.
Venom shouldn't proc so often on a ww barb tho, since you zerk only against a few enemies, and ww wont proc it.

usualy u clean the moor before a duel

but i did use such a scs myself sometimes as a "hit marker"

vs necs its better to use frw circ with 1 fcr ring rather than griffon for 63 fcr cuz enough frw to outrun spirits

that is 100% true, i knew there was something i forgot when i wrote that setup

but with 08 valk its fine
