Obviously warcry. I had a decked out lock and barb abd i hobestly feel i farm abooout equal with them. Lock kills substantially faster, but warcry just about makes up for the items with hork.

And thats for general farming, for heralds horking ability wins it hard.

Of course, warcry takes longer to come online, abd absolute needs stuff like the bonebreak, prot jewel, etc. To be fast. And to play the right player setting… where shitty geared locks just laughs at everything p8.

#1 build: hold ondals and follow a lock around

Last season it was hold ondals and follow mosaic around, I'm happy to see all this build diversity with the new updates!

Might wanna try classic for some real fun with barb, honestly.

I love classic, my only issue with it is the small player base and the fact it’s pretty much impossible to hit 99, especially in today’s ladder lengths

throwbarb for standing still, doing less dps than whirl, and fearing enemies more often then you curse them

warcry for zero damage and 5 minute heralds

Yepp, after 91/92 its a real drag. 99 is not the goal anyways. Having loaders helps, as the community is indeed small/in private games. If you have your own ench sorc hell cs is easy mode with barb, almost LOD-style…

Yeah I never got higher than 90 on classic hc tbh

If 99 was actually doable I’d play it, but for me I just don’t see the point in investing time into something I know I’ll never finish in the ladder season

Maybe that’ll change one day and I’ll give Classic a shot again, it was very fun porting cs runs and finding awesome rares

2 greif, enigma Shako or gface or arreats with new jewel, gores. Loh, duel leech fcr rings, thrangs belt high lord or fcr ammy

2 hoto in swap, lw and SS in stash for hard elemental or dr herolds

Eth Dread fang, eth fort, eth arreats Cham a5 bash merc

105fcr about 350 mf amp probs so much easy killing with ww

Half way to lvl 99 on my barb can take on everything’s even t5 herolds all xp from p8 tz

This is from years ago lol

Throwbarb is pretty cool. Obviously not ideal but it does pretty good even in full game
