I might hit back to Fusa so ask him. Though i dont know his acc, d2jsp or anything. But i dont care that much either so =)
I say it doesnt matter that much if your foh. Ofc its nice. But the mate had a 96 foh/smite. And in the seriuous duells the foh vas just absed (and it was a quite ok foh dmg at 9,3k.)
So dunno, foh/smite at lvl 99 might be the optional char.
And skilled babas is very nice. Though i say they lost some in 1.11. In 1.10 u could take down all with a bva barb.
Regards.
His jsp-acc is Fusa ^^
Smiters without foh are a joke, at least you have to think a bit when preparing for v/t:s. Yes of course you have to negate foh, but that requires a gear-change and the stash is so damn small already =/
9.3k foh is impossible with grief. Not using grief isn't really viable either. Foh is more to annoy, cause stress and force gear-switching.
In fact I think barbs are stronger than ever in 1.11. Although smiters benefit way more from grief they still aren't much of a threat in 1v1. Grief+torch = more damage and more life on barb. What more could you want? ^^
I agree that barbs dont do as well in pubs anymore though. The days when you could kill 3-4 smiters at once with 8% dr and fcr-rings are gone. Getting charge/smited by 3+ grief-palas is fucking annoying, especially when you've got some sorcs or w/e harassing you and you're unable to kill them since you wear melee-gear. Hmpf.
However, in 1.10 barbs couldn't handle good hammerdins very well, and I still dont think they can in 1.11.
