Whuuuut, I never knew this either! Crazy how I keep learning new stuff about this game even after all these years.


This is looking like a much more solid start Remember to keep Howl on hotkey, it really does save lives!

You coulda used that eth Spirit Shroud until it it's down to 1 dura, then give to merc (items don't use dura on hirelings). "Cannot be frozen" is a vital mod to have for a melee char

Bonesnap with Concentrate would be good for bosses/single targets but slow for progression. Of course it's your walkthrough and entirely up to you, whatever you'd have the most fun with!

Good luck bro

Great commentary 😀
For a frenzy barb you want a fast weapon in your main hand so make sure to equip your slow weapon last, someone please correct me if I’m wrong. Great start and good luck 👍

If you're talking about WSM glitch, almost

Slow weapon goes on glove side, fast weapon over boots*. Lift and drop the slow weapon. WSM is now bugged you'll swing faster - curiously the bigger the gap between the two base weapon speeds the greater the attack speed increase. There's a formula to calculate it but I've forgotten, gel87 posted in my throw barb WT somewhere if I CBA trawling through

(* fast/slow refers to base weapon speed which can be found on Arreat Summit. For example war sword base speed = 0 ; flail base speed = -10. So if you wanna bug your WSM you'd have your Strength flail over your boots and King's Grace war sword over gloves. You need to lift + drop the war sword each time you swap gear or make a new game)

Knew I was close, thanks for clearing that up Mukhalif

Can you post your stats and skills etc?

Yup. And I'll finish act one while I'm at it.





Thanks for that info. I didn't know about that.



Okay..so a a few more countess runs and then its on towards Andy. I'll farm her until I get some much needed better gear.



Wtf...no runes?





See anything missing? Look again...I lost 5 grand charms while playing inventory Tetris. I knew it was going to happen too. With a full inventory whenever I wanted to sell or examine something I always had to move things around and the charms were consistently dropped on the ground. All it takes is one forgetful Save and Exit and they are gone. I lost a lot of resists and Fast Hit Recovery with that mistake.




He just stood there. It's rare when a monster doesn't see you. One step closer and the fight was on. I won...

I was feeling tired and lazy. A boss pack of afflicted was with Bonesnap and they did a number on me. I decided to push on.




10 seconds later this happened. Memo to self: When you're feeling tired or lazy and you just start plowing through things...quit. Lesson learned. No harm done.




A new day and a new merc weapon. Super slow but lots of damage.

Getting ready for some Andy farming.



Of course the merc is down. They always die at Andy.



My merc does most of my damage so once he dies the fight took a while. I picked up the gems and the shield and was off to warriv to bug her. That's a lovely little trick I learned through comments in my other WT.

Had a few close calls in hell pits, i feel you. I lose focus after seeing the same caves and mobs run after run

Let the farming begin! Thats a nice drop...three uniques, a rare, and a set.




Too bad it's ethereal.
