Dis why you run pride.

Fort
Pride
Azurewrath

And just bonk immunes with zerk.

Sure that's nice, just it quite sucks against animals and demons (assuming you don't cast amp or decrep manually of course).
The tele+decrep combo is way more universal, all mobs will suffer from the multiplicative effect of the curse, not just undead.
Additionally, it removes the necessity to use zerk against immunes, which is a nice touch (no def penalty but most importantly you stay mobile).

Can barb kill ubers for torchs?

If done right, you can complete uber tristram in around 60 seconds.

For animals you just run dbl grief and fort. It's not like you're doing maggot lair as a barb.

Animals and demons are around 2/3 of the mobs in the game, but whatever.
If you don't cast any curse manually, i still believe fort+pride is weaker than eni+reaper when it comes to raw damage, and basically cuts CB damage in half.
It's fine if kill rate isn't a priority though, for sure.

It’s maybe like 170% ed more but you’re also losing whirlwind speed from having less frw

170% ed is nothing considering you already have like 1000% ed total

It’s maybe 15% more damage while being twice as slow due to no teleport or frw

Enigma is better. Fort is ok if you can’t afford enigma

Decrep merc is only good with enigma and if you use enigma you aint a barb. Simple math.
