Berserk is your main attack in most areas, now when doing pits or Ancient tunnels you may not want to chase them about from howling, this will mean that a mass number of monsters will swarm you, so this is when you start using Concentration in which you keep your defense and can pretty much kill them all. If any of them are immune phys, use berserk, if in dire straights and can not get out, Howl, you will soon figure out what is better for you in certain situations. Now doing chaos I tend to stick with Berserk & Howling.

As for the mana problems I could not help you there as I tele/walk/howl/walk/tele. walking helps you to find other bosses after howling, basically the only ones to run away are the weaker minions, so there may be a Champion or boss near by in which you may want to kill.

By the way, one thing i did not add in the guide was skill "Faster Run/Walk" this is another option if you want to use? Only need 1 point into it and the pre requisite.

Bump

Well, I am building it, and have experimented on single alot and I think Im beginning to like it. But, when I come to skills, ill just max howl and later shout, because you dont need def quite much since youre a berserker. And yeah, when you are in trouble, howl like the wind and they shatter away, very nice idea.

Ill have this build done in about 3 days so people on europe ladder feel free to pm me I could show u.

Sweet, nice to know that you are liking the builds! I have also Created the DemonBasher Berserker barb b4 I made this one, and with looking at Bigsipo's Guide as well, I was able to create this MfBerserker build (all posted in barb guides), now with all the testing Berserker, I am thinking of creating a Berserker PvP char designed for annihilating SummonCurse PvP chars, considering Howl there summoned creatures which make them vunerable, and his Iron Maiden curse is useless on this build also, the only thing to really stack up on is Poison resis and a 75% Poison Reduce item, and I think he will rock, lol.

Note: Only 2days ago I used Demonbasher to PvP Bone Necro (lvl90) in a chaos run for opening a Portal swarmed with monsters so that ppl were getting killed when they used it and he was trying to scab the xp and drops. LOL he died from me howling the monsters onto him.

rofl ok

but on summoner builds they usually have enig, so theyll jus ttele on you, I wont put my money on that

almost finished my build

worth a try, thinking of using 2xDoom on him and leap

Well, will have to say that you are correct in maxing out howl b4 shout, I am starting to notice the short length of time from my howl.
So far he is good finding pretty good items too, just need to find some godlies, lol.

yeah

I'll probably end up with 1point shout and max howl, but thats ok, def isnt much of a problem for me

mana is still a problem

I only have 270 mana. Thats not even enough for teleing to chaos sanc...

Sounds like a change in the belt for you, like

1 Super Healing
2 & 3 Super Mana
4 Full Juvs

I do not get that main problem unless i am tele'ing more than usual!
When i get to the chaos entrance i walk and howl, then tele across if path is blocked, then in the centre I
carry on and walk & howl, do not tele to the seals. Maybe if you do this you will not run out so fast.
Also, do not start tele'ing from the wp, best to walk up, then tele when across lava. This will help.

My belt setup is:
1 Super Heal
2 Super Mana
3&4 Full Juvs

NOTE: Just realised that you can have this build Gold/Mf Hybrid. You could change your mf sc's to greed sc's if you
want more goldfind, or change the nagels to Dwarfstars to keep your mf higher. I will probably make additions to the
guide later on.
