Hey everyone,
ive created a gold find barb, my char himself uses all the gf equip, so i am literally just watching my a5 frenzy merc killing the high council. He is wearing Arreats, Grief+Last Wish(mainly for the life tap) now i am not sure about his Armor piece, Fortitude got chilling armor wich results in possible freezes and cracking enemys, but every cracked enemy can't be "Item find"ed, wich will result in less gold/run i guess. Thats why i was thinking about to use CoH(+2 skills/extra life leech kinda nice) over Forti maybe. Anyone made some experience?

How about Hustle?

Hustle is a nice speed up and some good ias, but id like to use the +%dmg from Forti, couse 300% is a huge number and even CoH got +200% dmg against demons, High Council should count as demons if i remember correctly. To be fair, that A5 Frenzy Merc is allready running around like crazy

Did you check ias breakpoints with Warren calculator, 45 ias could bump him up to next speed. If that doesn’t matter then coh over fort.

I actually didn't. Can you link that calculator please?

I found it, but seems kinda complicated. <,<

The merc is using Grief in main hand and Last Wish in second hand. Grief got allready a 40% ias boost, Frenzy seems to have a different calculation as well. If i add the 40% ias, it shows "0 WIAS/10FPA", i don't get it. Without those 40% IAS it shows 0/12, 22/11 and 86/10. CoH would also give +2 to skills, wich boosts Frenzy's IAS and ed. Guess i am dump.

I'd hope faster attack procs life tap faster. And I wouldn't use Fort as it procs chilling armor.

I think 12 FPA vs 11 FPA. I'd use faster attack in order to proc Life Tap faster.

Okay, i will test Hustle. By the way, does he need 2x Grief with the 40% IAS boost to make it count? Isn't it like always the slower weapon will be your attack speed? Last wish got no IAS on it.

All in all i should maybe just use Treachery, since it got 45% IAS compared to Hustle 40% IAS. And also 50% GF on it.
