Hi everyone.

I have read an interesting of build for barb, that involve frenzy. According to the guy, with many statements, frenzy is way batter than whirlwind ( I don't say it's the case but it is what he says, with many interesting points)
I will try it , for fun.
I know it will be way slower than sorc or whatever involving mass destruction but I love melee.
The real question is : finding objects ( or whatever it's called) is really effective or just a gimmick.
I love the idea of the skill but does it work for runes for exemple ?

in rescent patches the whirlwind is broke, so bezerker or frenzy is best builds.

Item find is a good skill to invest a point or 2 into (along with other +skill items it will add up) it wont be as great as killing bosses but I have found high runes from using the skill. Ur gonna get alot of junk forever but once every million times u will eventually get something (hopefully)

Thanks !
You prefer zerk or frenzy ? Apparently frenzy is dope, maintain de right button makes your char running and killing everything that lives 😁
Zerk, on the other part, has insane DMG and ar, and nearly no immunes. But I guess it's better to run it 1h + shield in HC.

Just as u stated, bezerker is dangerous at times with it taking defense to 0 as U swing but some better damage. Frenzy is double swing on a cocaine rush. I would think frenzy has better survival skills but I could be totally wrong because I know shit to nothing about trying to survive on hardcore, lol.

Maybe some of the other users could chime in and give some advice from experience of the builds they have tried..

Isnt it fixed months ago?

Btt:
Frenzy/ww usually 1 point zerk for immunes that stay immune under decripify (your merc will wear reapers probably)

Zerk barbs usually have tele, howl trash mobs away and zerk only bosses/champions. Like a quick cs runner to spawn dia quickly.

'Find item' gives you xx% chance that the monster gets a new rolled drop, identical to when you kill it

If u wanna try berserk, try it:
- using shield (stormshield + Phoenix on switch to get back life/mama)
- at big pack of enemy, use 1-2* war cry (the stunning shout)

And ofc reaper is the best for frenzy. But reaper has cold dmg, means 1-2 corps less. So, if u are strickted to itemfind, try other merc weapon (1 to berserk is enough). Try Pride then ;)

Pride has freeze, too. And so has Ravenfrost.

I try itemfind atm, on a 85 barb in hc, well, i wonder if itemfind is really interesting, i never find anything with it. All i find is by just killing the monsters, which works.
Does item find really worth the points invested in ? Its pretty funny but well, no results for me

Kill 10 mobs = you have 10 drops
Find item 10 mobs = you have 4-6 drops depending on skill lvl
