Barb is strong. What’s your farming route with him right now?

Just Countess, Summoner, Nihlathak, fast chaos. Leveling is really slow so might add some other stuff after I'm done with keys.

For now getting 3x keysets, then gotta figure out if I want to do ubers as sorc, Barb, or make a smiter.

I might have to go back to frenzy for leveling and/or ubers, I didn't expect the leveling to be quite so slow as a level 7x zerker.

Also, I'm saving my hell ancients for now so I can't Baal run. I'd like to save it for 98, but we'll see how it goes

Man I tapped out on leveling my baba at 90 and my other at 85. I really want them to be more fun. Any suggestions? Are you doing P8 chaos runs? Like seal bosses + D or 2 seal runs or something else?

Sorry for tangent. Enjoying the multi character grail/build out, keep it up

Thanks! I'm doing p7 chaos ATM, just seal popping and D with berserk/howl and teleporting around before hitting the last seal for extra drops.

Not sure about suggestions, but I find fast chaos runs fun and the key runs also. Berserk is great for singling out targets, not so great at clearing a bunch of stuff.

If you're not into that, I find frenzy to be more fun than ww for more general farming, getting up close and personal with crazy frw is great.

I would say it depends on what you're interested in farming, and what play style you prefer. What do you consider fun?

I appreciate the comments! I enjoy my CS din who does P8 all 3 seals and any boaspacks on the tele path. The aoe is nice on hammers and I do like CS. Maybe that's why I struggle with the single target runs of the baba. Not as much mf and not as much expz which is I guess why pitzerking is a thing, but I haven't found it to be very enjoyable. I like nec in pits and sorc in AT.

I occasionally do pindle runs with baba since they're fast but I burn out quick on them. So frenzy is probably the way to goz bit where? I've seen flayer but I don't thinks that's an A85 or whatever so maybe good ole WSK + Baal?

Depending on how you gear, you could pretty much do any area you wanted. If you wanted a quick run you could try pindle/eld/shenk/trav or something.

You might not really like Frenzy though if you aren't a fan of berserk, it's not really an AoE attack. Maybe whirlwind would suit your playstyle better if you want to clear groups. Is there a way you could test frenzy and whirlwind with decent gear? Maybe hero editor on single player or something, just to see what you like more
