Public games require a Bvc to turn into a Bva in certain situations. So the question is:

In what situation is a 2barb/20fcr/viso circlet a better option than others?

I would assume against a melee char or a pally w/ holy shield that a Coa/Angelics would be the better option?
Now if you're dueling a caster, do you really need that extra AR from the viso?
I would think that an Up'd Arreats w/ a jewel/rune OR 2barb/20fcr/30frw circlet would be better.

I just want to pick your brains as I am trying to make a decent bvc/bva (its been a while) and am not understanding the hype behind a barb viso

only if FCR is needed - a.k.a vs casters - BVC use the above mentioned circlet.
Here's barbs breakpoints for FCR:

Barbarian
FCR Frames
0% 13
9% 12
20% 11
37% 10
63% 9
105% 8
200% 7

Some people will BO with a sexy viso that gives +2 all, +3 BO, %bonus to AR
then take it off and slip on a COA.

meh.

Be a man. Always wear your sexy viso helm, duel axe it. If you need DR, throw on a Stormshield.
only use COA if you simply must have the extra resists.

Thanks for the comment.
You keep that bonus AR from bo'ing with it? Even if you take it off?

You think giving up the FRW for AR is worth it?

no, those rare bo helms are terrible

if you prebuff, use a pure prebuff helm

coa, circlet, arreat, 08 arreat, and occasionally kiras are the only helms worth using

AR is how babas hit, so yeah anything that gives a huge boost to AR is very valuable.


Thats why some of them go for 80k

Thats for bvb purposes which is lame anyways but wouldnt expect u to know that

^^

Bvb is not bva

so have the helm on the side for BVB
Have a COA on the side for BVA
Have a circ on the side for BVC

this isn't complicated

You think a viso circlet should be used BvB?
