Right now on a popular website for US West Ladder, cost to build the frenzy barb in the video posted.
Barb
1. Perf Dracs $15.95
2. Raven Frost 20 dex 200+ AR $2.95
3. Perf String of Ears $9.95
4. BK Ring $2.95
5. Gore Rider $3.95
6. Perfect Grief Phase $19.95
7. Death Colossus Sword - Eth $14.95
8. Fortitude Archon Plate $14.95
9.Highlords $1.95
10. Guillaume's with Um rune $2.95
11. 100psn 19life sc $1.95
12. 100psn 3frw sc $ .95
13. 3max dmg 18ar 15life sc $4.95
14. 4 x 5 all res sc $5.50
15. Torch $5.95
16. Anni $3.95
17 WC Gc w/life x5 $17.5
Merc
18. Eth Reapers with 15 ias jewel $6.95
19. Treachery Archon Plate 4.95
20. Guillaume's $2.95

Grand total $131.15
And that is at the end of the ladder season.
Lets say 500 people buy this build every ladder season world wide from this site.
Just for the frenzy barb they are making $65,575 every 6 months.
That is just for this frenzy barb. The video has 85,000 views.


no one is going to pay $130 for a frenzy barb, ever. even if you gave njag that $130 instead which is by far the least efficient method to get it, you'd get 4200 or so fg. you'd build the whole frenzy barb for 1/4th of that, at a fucking awful exchange rate that i already mentioned.

sounds like you got discouraged by people picking those wf's up with pickit before you could so you latched on to the idea they were selling them on ebay for $700 and you lost out.

Grief - 5 cents through Jsp
Enigma- 10 cents through Jsp or a second grief
Loh+Raven+guillame's+string - 3-4 cents or free

Shop a lifetap wand so you can get your own torch Anni.
Whole build for 18 fg. If you mtgo to get the fg you'll have 82 fg left over

The first 3 months of the ladder all the gear in the video would cost about $80 worth of forum gold.

I assume most of the people pay for it by selling the previous season's crap.

There can't be that many people dumb enough to pay $80 for your subpar ladder build

Agree there. I built mine from scraps I found in chaos and on my mules

so now I have changed the merc with act 2 might along with gear changed to reapers, guillame and treachery.
now my question is on the remaining stats points. what is the best allocation? my barb is for pvm. do I need to put the points into strength just enough for gear and balance to vita for high life or do I just keep his life around 2000 after BC+BO and put the remaining points to strength since from what I read somewhere 1 point to strength = + 1% dmg?
