still where can you get the life / mana leech if dual grief pb's?


BK ring, string of ears belt and or dual leach ring

If you do frenzy, double swing will refill mana at high levels if you don't have a mana leach ring and your mana gets low

ok so now it comes to the question of what weapon should my merc use? Obedience? Pride? Infinity? And what act 2 merc? Might? Holy Freeze? or Blessed Aim for the added Attack Rating?

Soe as belt gives u life leech

Get a dual leech ring aside raven and ur set.

I wouldnt choose bk since you wont have mana leech then (or you use wilhelms pride belt, which has mana leech, but soe+dual leech ring is way better than wilhelms pride+bk)

fort does do more damage but I like nigma's mobility .
Also I have a GF/mf setup in stash on this barb, so nigma helps with that

CoH is crap. You may as well use fort instead
