Been running a p8 fh wt with a frenzy barb after failing miserably on a son and a zealer. But I am having damage issues in a4 nm, been running meph no problem and been running her like crazy to no avail besides a few new mf pieces which might help with new gear.

I have a couple lems…. Should I put them in a non elite base for treachery and a dimensional blade for lawbringer to bring me some more damage? I’m currently using a unique dimensional blade (forget the name) and a gladius strength for the crushing blow dmv is at about 400-900 MH my and 180-280 OH

Merc has gone Sudan with 2 shaels, Amn, unique gothic plate for more CB and blood helm i crafted.

I am not really having survivability issues, but I know I can do better than 280 max damage for one of my swords in nightmare…..

Thank you, any advice?

Treachery will help out a lot. So I’d say make one. Base really doesn’t matter here, and it’ll bring a lot more benefit than a lawbringer.

What’ll help even more is a weapon upgrade. Farm Andy and Meph until you find a Butchers Pupil or Headstriker. If you up these, they should easily last you until you can make an Oath.

Yea those will help, but Ive had plenty of dmg issues in A4 nm and sometimes you just gotta power through it as slow and as agonizing as it can be

I'd would vote for treachery as well. Once you found a Butcher's pupil or Headstriker dont forget you can upgrade them for more dmg.

Alright cool the consensus seems to be treachery, I’ve found a hoz vipermagi, tals ammy and lots of cool items but absolutely nothing for the barb lol…. Will try to find an exceptional base and make a treachery

Update….. I farmed meph a lot and p8 nm Baal was not bad plenty of leech, am rocking vamp gaze and shaft stop and am getting wrecked in blood moor hell, lvl 74 might have to farm for some more dps as with all melee chars weapons are still the issue, maybe pray for a base in den of evil or try to carefully get runes for an oath in countess if I can even survive the den? Been running nm meph for a week after work for a head striker or pupil to no avail

I grinded my ass off In pits with 2x upgraded cleglaws swords

P8 too

Hustle armor is a very solid Way to go and it is easy to make

Update I now am taking your lead.. I have two upped cleglaws, ran meph forever and felt weak progressing toward countess pre cleglaws, found ik helm and a couple other goodies but weapons are still as is. You wear the gloves with the upped swords obvi right? I got em on, sword mastery barb
