If for MF then 2x Ptopaz OR Ptopaz and a Cham rune.

Allows you to get 30 MF from Goldwrap belt rather than using Trang belt for CBF.

Edit : I would also swap out those weapons for an obedience in whatever elite 5 OS polearm base you can find as soon as you can. Even an IK Maul would be better and they're dirt cheap.

You don’t need cbf on WW for pvm


Especially on a budget ik barb. Using cham would be a complete waste.

CBF is the main stat for barb, he needs this on any piece he can get it on.

WW ias frames are not affected by being cold. WW actually performs better when you are cold.

Additionally, since he isn’t using grief, AR is going to be an issue. Therefore he will like the using raven frost with highlords anyway.

Raven frost has cbf.


:wallbash:

Imagine being this clueless about a barb.

Ravenfrost has Cold damage which shatters corpses, using a barb for mfing effectively requires no cold damage so raven should only be used at early ladder.

Being frozen still effects run speed which means clearing areas slower (with no enigma), this also applies to your FHR frames and IAS frames for when you use Zerk against a physical immune.

At a high enough level (91, easily obtained on P1) 4k AR gives you an 87% chance to hit a level 85 monster in chaos (Venom lords), that's more than sufficient.

Slam your head into the wall all you want but don't act like you know it all either :)

I’m pretty sure it is by design that the IK set has +freeze mod which prevents the set from being Overpowered. Set items should not be the destination endgame gear anyway because they are generally easier to find. But that’s one reason why you’ll see barbs still wearing ravenfrosts. If they are going to wear IK for a while, corpse are going to shatter anyway with or without ravenfrosts. And ravens are still imo really good rings.

Agree. If you are wearing IK helm, you are going cheap. Then cheap all the way, don’t waste a cham rune.
