Congratulations on the find: I almost never actually find what I'm looking for... than again, I don't know the drop odds.

Well, good luck in hell than.

And from me nice job Sir. The jewel is good, my kicker wouldn't mind that for her helm ED is wasted on your current char, but hand me downs are always welcome for future projects.

Nice wand too.

GL in Hell.

As far as WC goes:

Level 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
Stun Length (seconds) 1 1.2 1.4 1.6 1.8 2 2.2 2.4 2.6 2.8 3 3.2 3.4 3.6 3.8 4 4.2 4.4 4.6 4.8

I took out the damage stats since it's quite irrelevant for what you're doing.

According to the table Lvl 6 = 2 secs, lvl 11 = 3 secs. Not sure how your skill points will add up for the extra five mind.

REMEMBER to use taunt to get ranged guys to come to you for the slaughter

WC is a damned fine skill though My new GF barb finally reached lvl 30 last night <yawn> Last couple of levels was just powering ELd, shenk, pindle & garden. Seemed to take forever. Full gear change and Woops - everything dead Amazing. OK, he does have about 12 synergy points already invested, and geared up to about lvl 10 WC at level 30, lol. I foresee no further problems until I hit Hell.

Wind wand.

110 dmg if perfect.

It took me almost 2 weeks to find something that I normally sell when I am not looking for it. I am sure I have come across quite a few this ladder when I didnt need one. The odds from grand visor seem really really bad compared to mephy, d, and baal. Oh well, its off to hell I go.



While ED in the wands would be a waste, placing it in the hat helps overall. The damage is added to both wands as well as the extra lightning damage. Any damage charms I place on him will only help and not hinder him. I have stepped foot in hell to check my resistance and only poison and lightning are not maxed. I am sure a little switcheroo on a few charms and I will get that covered. I have 100 stat points remaining which will more than likely go to vita so that I can live longer. It did take a while to kill NM baal as the throne spawned the worst for this char.

Since I have an act3 merc to freeze critters still, all the flying cold immunes were my responsibility to kill. Since they were casting amp on me, and the stoopid dolls were attacking me, every death explosion was a worrysome affair. While the wands have LL on them, its next to nothing and I have to drink lots o pots. The OKs were not a problem as IM doesnt really effect me at all.

Baal dropped me all yellows and one useless greenie. Oh well, no sense crying over spilt milk.

I will be placing the next 4 skill points I get into war cry. those + the anni I have will get me to slvl6 for the 2 second stun. The stun length I have now is just not long enough for me to kill whatever is stunned. I tried out the "decrepify" bark and it seemed usefull in crowds but very limited in 1 on 1 confrontations. Besides, in the crowd, I am going to bark to stun and not "decrep." Still getting used to barking while swinging.



and where might I get my Sur for that wand?

<Hands his legit Sur over> There you go

I know, wrong realm Not that I would really see the point in useing it for Wind at the best of times, less still in a wand.

If the charges of Tornado were worthwhile, then maybe it would be decent. But alas, it would be utterly pointless as It would be physical damage and would render me vulnerable to IM.

Again, keep your Sur and look for another one.

well I finally got to work on my drummer barb. Trying to convince the missus to allow me some PC time is rather dificult. I cleared all of act 1, died the split second before andy died and an auto TP to town was not created. I seriously doubt that she is bugged and there is no way I am remaking this guy. I was able to get the radament quest and have found that my AR is seriously lacking.

If I shael one wand and eth the other, I will only get the -25% def on the one wand correct? man that sucks. Where else can I get some AR? Charms? My inven has a 2x3 space open at the moment and I think I have some AR scs on my abbot. They probably will not be much but it will be better than nothing. What to do now? AR, AR, where for art thou AR?

Yes, the eth would only work for the one wand.

AR where art though?

AR for you in three places@

1) Mastery
2) Taunt
3) Battle cry.

Off the top of my head I'm not sure how much your level 1 taunt or Battle Cry will do, but level 26 Battle cry reduces enemy defence to a cool Zero, and AR is completely redundant. Oh yeah, it works on ALL monsters too. whereas Taunt does not.

How are you for levels? iirc you went into Hell at around 75 or so, so shouldn't be lacking too much v Mlvls?

It could well be that Battle Cry is the answer you're looking for, though it's probably hard to use effectively with Frenzy It will certainly help no end against big guys when your standing there toe to toe and wiffing a lot.

You could also use Demon Limb ofcourse. 10 minutes of crazy AR and some nice added damage, solves all your problems. The charges are rather expensive.. Another option would be to hold Obedience Polearm on switch, than start hitting till you get enchant activated, than switch.

A typical fight starts with a war cry to stun the masses, then 2x frenzy cycles, then war cry to stun, then 2x frenzy cycles, repeat till critters dead. I could replace a frenzy cycle with a battle cry, but then how long will it last? I finally got that level + den + radament to get to slvl 6 ( with adders ) war cry. 2 seconds stun is rather nice. I am currently using a cold act3 merc to hold off the critters who are not cold immune. It does, unfortunatly look like mastery might be my only chance. I try out battle cry this evening if I get the opportunity to game a little.



Deamon limb is already on switch. I know that the repair charges are quite expensive. I hork all that I remember to hork and make a point of it with each champ/boss pack. So far I have not horked anything worth while. Last ladder the best I was able to hork was a Tals ammy. Now, All I hope to hork is more gold.
