Trav Only Barb Theorycrafting - Topic

My goal is to make the best/fastest trav barb.I googled my eye off these last 2 days but i cant find a definitive build.

The skill used doesnt matter(frenzy, berzerk,ww,etc)

The cost of build doesnt matter(the inventory is not included in this statement , i will mostly use plain 7 mf charms)

Merc is used(no idea iet on what merc is the best, if kill speed of main char is high, i would prefer a buffer/support one but not set in stone)

The only set in stone items are :

-Enigma

-Glodwrap

-Gore Riders

-LoH

The requirements:

-Over 320 mf

-As much tankiness as posible

-Merc should survive 99.99 of time(except nasty combo auras)

This is that i used this season( i like to watch yt while i trav so i went a safer option)

a good merc can survive 100% of the time

a barbs merc lol his bo is so strong its even better

I recommend you get Might on your merc and a bunch of lifesteal so that the might buff will give you the extra life steal

Should i repost the thread there?

If you are playing d2lod then ya your choices for refined barb mf items will be much better than d2r

1 hard point at increased stamina

1 hard point at iron skin
1 hard point at natural resistance
1 hard point at berserk (versus physical immune)
1 hard point at battle command
MAX WW
MAX find item
MAX find potion (each hard point gives +1 to find item)
Rest of your skill points split between Battle order & sword mastery (it depends if you need more life or more dmg/attack rating) i went for sword mastery.
