Hi guys,

I've been playing on and off this game for way too many years like many. But one thing I did wrong is that I been playing the same class over and over again...
So therefore, I'd need some tips just to make a simple little baba.

It's for a solo/p8/hardcore Barbarian walk of course!

I was wondering if I should go with berserk or frenzy?(pros and cons?)
*if I choose frenzy, I always wondered if you have to swap between double swing and frenzy? Why? Because i thought the way to use it was to hit with frenzy to gain the speed and dmg boost then go back to double swing for even more dmg. I was young when i played baba and i never looked back at it afterward.

Aside of that, is there any tips of specific skills i shouldn't skip on?



Don't judge please!
You guys are the best... :thumbsup:

WW is much more equipment-dependant. Without high physical damage and mana leech, you won't be effective.

For an untwinked walk, you should start with Frenzy build and switch to WW once you have found for example a Steeldriver or Ribcracker at NM Andy.

I know you wanna switch class etc, but it would be a lot easier for you to start with a sorc and MF the gear and then make other classes.
Like someone mentioned above, barbs are very gear dependant, so it can be hard to get through the game especially on P8.
Good luck!

Frenzy has a period of struggle from the start of nightmare. Just make a strength and cross your fingers an aldurs wep drops. That’ll carry you until act4-5 nightmare and then try and get a 3os tyrant club to make black in. Game becomes really easy after that

You can also slowly struggle your way to act 4 nm without aldurs weapon just be patient.

As far as melee goes frenzy is one of the best early because it’s easy to stack crushing blow

I’d avoid going berserk or ww until you are decked out. Berserk is good at killing monsters but not so great for a players 8 boss grind
