9.5/10

nice char bro

I figured it was worth cutting the rare belts I don't use, a pair of boots that one user in particular is losing sleep over being in a TR post, -30 robos, but sure m8 it isn't much diff.

Ty for rates

I dont like the amulets, I would prefer to see just 1 really good all round one. But yea, everyone already knows brilliant barb amulets are few and far apart. Wraith Mark with Repl please.
The weapons are ok, but there are some really nice eth repl's floating around, even before the wave of bot-found weapons.
In terms of the rings, I like that you have STR on all of them, but I would really look for more ar on all of them as well as having more resistances.
Helmet is nice, you have enough compliments about it Personally i think the shield, storm shell, is the highlight of the character, as well as the Ornate. I would rate the shield and ornate up with the best all realms.

Whats not included in the min ed armor? the min?
forgot to mention - jewels in helmet = yum.

I think boosted or andy2 had a min/ed/dex armor or hat they were working on

simple math really, barb has not much + min so the mid added is more effective then the 60ed

cool that you found the jewels that work for it

Is that confirmed from calculations? I'd like to see the damage with plain 72%ED armor (60ED/16str) because my guess is that it's going to be real close in damage compared to the armor with 22 min.

not my char not my math

the math worked on a bowa though cause massive dex

If you use a sword or an erep naga then no but in my weird case with overall low min robo nagas it does in fact add more min. It ends up adding more min and max than a 24-45 armor on this barb and the tradeoff is like 100max for 120min vs a 72max armor. But again only when set up this way with +3ww helm, robo nagas etc.



Thnx for your insight. While I won't say I disagree I'll politely make my case hehe.
Regarding the ammys I cant displace life/str/dex AND have life/rep that would be 4 suffixes and in my case, I really like swapping on 17 stats for max block or bvb situations. The 10rep 3mdr is just my v Caster ammy ofc. I cant say I ever run out of mana in non ww bvb situations but I know the TR room likes mana on their barb ammys, cant have em all
If the rings were for some Melee that actually needed fcr then sure id say they needed more ar.. For a bvc 3600+ ar is more than enough IMO. Also I swap on a vmagi for my res.. I know many barbs would say that's giving up too much dmg or life but its really just a bit of dmg lost.. the MDR and added +1skill, res as a swap item, and fcr bp are just invaluable vs casters on this thing.

Preciate the rates and opinions brosefs

Without doing the math, now that I think about it more, it seems like you're right about the min armor. 22min is around 63% of your total base min damage, while 60ED is less than 63% of your total ED.

Anyway, as others said, everything is very good, but the helm and armor are most impressive to me. The jewels are also top notch.

9/10
gimme dat hat

9/10 till you get some godly weps. Some of the best barb items for sure and I like the layout of the post.
