well i think this is a realy nice guide why u dont post it in Strategy & guides? maybe it will be sticky'ed


Because this is not a guide, this is a post detailing the trials and tribulations of my drummer barb. Kinda like what I did for my abbot.

Besides, i am not about to create a "guide" for a drummer barb on these forums. No one would play it as the most diabolical RW you could make for a weapon is malice. That or wind (sur-el) whatever it is.

Gotta love my drummer. Just got cursed with IM in a baal run and I kept on swinging away and took hardly any damage. I finally have a physical/mele charater who can live in NO fear of the dreaded IM curse. Woo fricken Hoo.

Yup, thats right. It is another wacky build from me again. Yes this drummer is going to tackle the ancients again solo for challenge #4. However, he has just finished normal at lvl45. I only have 1 at the moment so I amAllen instead of Phil Collins. In other words, its damn hard to be a one armed drummer. I am looking for wnt 3os uress out of. He is relatively fully geared save the 1 wand and armor. I am always looking to upgrade his gloves ( dual leech + resist ) and jewelry. I have a raven for him, and I have an all res ring waiting for him at lvl48. I am not alland that would only equate to 6 to 24, woo freaking hoo. This also meance duress is made, I plan on usuing my inven. I need to get the damage up there, but I know it wont be much. How do things? Easy, Crushing Blow + Open Wounds = slo
Helm = Guilleme's hat ( 35% CB, some DS, str, I plan on socketing it but have nothing more than a 5 all res to stick in it. Hopefully i find a dual elemental damage jewel to cram in there.)
weapon1 = 1 wand with 1 to 202
weapon2 = none ATM ( go def leppard's
Armor = Unique Linked Mail ATM, looking for 3os armor for duretional CB
Gloves = some rares with dual leech on em. 3% both ML and LL.
Boots = Goblin toes for the 25% CB only. Gores have more optionsam nd it is rather dificult to control at these speeds.
Amulet = +2 Warcries + DR of 2
Ring1 = some magical with extra gold and fire resists
ring2 = ravenfrost, decent ring but not stellar on the stats.

I fully expect to be doing around 100 points of physical damage each swing after all the mace mastery and frenzy skill points. I am not going to max the double swing synergy but I am thinking about maxing the berserk synergy for the magic damage. The skill point placement plan is as follows.

20 frenzy - still working on this, only for the AR bonus - the ED bonus is just window dressing.
20 BO - completed
20 mace mastery - yes itve 1 in there now and will max this last.
1 in the speed masteries - stamina and speed
1 in the def masteries - resistances and skin. Depending on my final defense and resistance I may place more points here.
20 berserk - synergy bonus for frenzy for magic damage purely. I do not think I will need to switch to berserk in chaos because of IM. I mean, I will be doing really really pathetic physical damage.

Thoughts or suggestions are welcomed. If some one has a link to my previous post on the drummer stuff where there were detailed discussions about his gear, please post that link. Ito search this place.

I am a complete retard who cannot for the life of me come up with a statement of my own.  Sure all I am doing is padding my post count so that people will take me seriously in the trade forums.  But when you think about it, how does post count = trust?  wait a second, that was too intelectual for me.  Just continue to ignore me


Another interesting statement from a complete moron.

I'll get ya some screenies soon





As you can see, lotsa lightning damage on both wands. No real useful charges on either one. Nothing real usefull CtC wise on either one. Just your basic run of the mill crapola. Too bad its expensive to repair both of em.

Hm, I would've thought you'd found some dual or triple elemental wands...

Heh, love the life and mana stolen mods smile.gif
Maybe a strength rw will help a little with 25% crushing blow?

Updated gear list? biggrin.gif (No need for screenies unless you're very bored with lots of spare time wink.gif )

And how did the Duress roll?
