this guide is the pwnage !

i made that fb ww barb, THAT SUX!

so i muled items, and made this, dont have full in natural resistance, tho i have full polearm mastery.. .GG!

but anyway ITS PWNZ AND I DIDNT DIE YET!

THUMBS UP!

Nice guide bro

by far the best gf barb guide as of now

question though:

1. I noticed that with ali babas I tend to get a lot of unnecessary magic items, so are 6 x lem'd CS better in anyone's opinion(s)?

ok, nice guide, did not make your build but i have made my own.

1) I have 1595% gf by my guide standards, but, i have 1625% gf.
2) I do all the killing (and faster than most) in 1-3 mins Trav including immune phys
3) I can do alot of different areas as well instead of basic trav.
4) My mf is only 169% (chance guards, Goldwrap and lvl89 enigma) but manage to find very nice items.
5) Find Item % is only 42% chance, but even this is more than sufficient. Note: only 4 base points
6) With my items I have max resistences. Note: only 1 base point.
7) i do not use Leap, meaning i have more points to use for killing.

with all the things that I have mentioned above, what does this guide have to offer compared to other GF guides?
1) more gold find?
2) more mf?

I am not rubbishing your guide, it is good for what it is built for, basically I like to do more areas than just Trav Cookie Cutter
Goldfind Barbs.

I retract that statement b/c I looked at ZxB's guide and noticed it was pretty boss too



I'm going to go over my question in more detail:

It's obvious that 6 x lem'd CSs will have greater +gold/find item ratios than ali baba's because of a 50-70 GF difference (450gf for CS and 399gf for 2x lem'd baba at clvl 99). I'm just curious as to whether the mf from the babas--in any way at all--effects the frequency of gold dropping/horking as opposed to items. If this is true, I was thinking that I'd rather switch my babas for lem'd CS to prioritize gold, as the prescence of mf would have an adverse effect on the GF itself.

Any thoughts?

Hmmm...

I just noticed that sometimes when the council members are killed, they drop up to 3-4 items (sometimes its all gold, gold/items mixed, all items). If I'm right, I'm guessing that lem'd crystals swords could make the drops more in favor of gold. I could test it out myself but I don't have said CSs. I will when I get them or, someone with both babas and said CSs could test it out.

EDIT: Yes, I have too much time on my hands

I would say that 6*lem swords are better

Mf % interrupts your gold find.
Basically you will always Find 1 item on the Actual Council Members, as for the minor council members, they drop all random (gold or items).
Lem'd Crystals are the way to go for more Gold %.

Basically (just my opinion with mf barbs from .08-.10) it is best to have a ww sword barb and up the Ali Baba's, or a Frenzy Barb with upped Ali's, for killing mfbarbs, so since gf barbs are using them, then why not utilise the dmg and dex from the ali' babas?

some fast replies

I need lem'd crystals swords now >_<

for me, the merc does the job by himself fine with the exception of two things:

1. A unique council member is immune to physical attacks (in which case I have a ebotdz + ral'd SS on the switch) so I have to use berzerk.

2. A unique council members has a conviction aura with another having charged bolt on strike (more like aggravation--fu**er hates me leaping) or both, making them tough to resist--in which case I have to switch the merc's armor from an eth-wealth to an eth-CoH

Sorry no lem'd Crystals here, some1 wil possibly respond, lol.
1) if the immune phys is last one standing, just make another game or get a decrep wand for casting so that the merc can kill.
2) do not rush in, draw the council members out (stand by pool and run back to draw em) that way you can get your merc to kill the Conviction Aura member last, or first if he rushes out (note: decrep works well here too)

Another suggestion is to use "Slow Missiles" this works wonders on the Hydra's (charged items)
