Intro
Boxer Barb, fun glitch build for PVM (I used some combo of it in PVP and have fun too). On ur screen, u'll see ur Barb acts just like the name said, punch, smash & kill everything with fists.
No skill restriction on this build, tho I would use Frenzy as main skill, whirlwind boxing is also my favorite, When whirlwind, boxing barb will act like an archer, or an bow Amazon, stand there, "remotely kill" all enemies on the screen. (only on ur screen & Bnet ofc)
<Intro Video: clips of different styles Boxer barb doing Trav, Pindle, Ancients, Shenk, Über.>

Basic
Strength and dex shown on the left attribute tab are only based on what u added in attribute & from items that are successfully equipped, which means "not in red".
"in red" I mean, shown in red warning due to lack of strength or dex, image:


But imagine this common scene: ur char is a barb that wears Enigma and is using BOTD CB, when u remove the Enigma, switch to 2x HOTO then switch back, now ur strength shown on the left tab is only 130, BOTD is in red. However, actually, ur real strength is 160 (won't be shown on screen, 130 str points + 30 from BOTD).
There's some way to let u "glitch equip" and use gears that didn't even equipped successfully

Similar but off topic example: making Dream RW on a Crystal Sword hold by a LVL 1 char, the aura will tell u that the wp is actually working.


1 - Skills

add skills first before set attributes points.

Combat Skills
Recommend u click all combat skills by 1 point first, cuz u will obtain the best game exp with them all.

Frenzy
Frenzy is the recommonded main skill because the attack speed bonus & the FRW effect are really good.

Berserk
It still work (magic dmg attack), u know the huge amount 1-shot dmg. Same as conc, save ur char's life when facing physical immune enemy.

Whirlwind
On Bnet: when using whirlwind, u will attack like a bower, stand there and kill enemies on the screen, as long as u click them, they will be killed, no need to chase them, except they escape out of screen or too far. I found this by accident on Bnet, never thought it would work pretty well. I think it's just something shown on ur screen, actually off screen the char is moving to the enemy u clicked, therefore you will still loose some life when that enemy attacks, even u didn't see that enemy's wp or missile hit ur char.
Single player: here, whirlwind boxing is, sliding & WW & Boxing, still glitching, but moving, seems like showing the real orbit, cannot do "archer" things in single player game, at least on my PC.

Combat Masteries
WP Masteries - Corresponding WP class masteries.
Increased Stamina - 1 point
Increased Speed - 1 point
Iron Skin - 1 point
Natural Resistance - 1 point

Warcries
Howl - 1 point
Taunt - u need add some for Frenzy synergy, depends on ur need and style.
Battle Cry & War Cry - depends on u, I use Atma (AMP CTC), so I don't need Battle Cry or war cry stun.
Shout & Battle Order - add some or put all ur rest points on them, I will go second on cuz I like safety.
Battle Command - 1 point
Find Item - if u also like the MF efficiency of Teleport Boxing barb that gonna talk later, add >= 1 point,

2 - Tutorials
Different weapon combos, different steps, different difficulty, have to separate into 3 more following posts
.

PB Grief + PB Lawbringer Combo
Difficulty: easy
Glitch: Dex
<Tutorial Video>


This is the easiest one to make, only thing u need is to keep ur dex lower than 136 (PB's dex requirement), I will stick on 126.

Main Gears
Phase Blade Grief
Phase Blade Lawbringer (that aura sound effect is a good reminder, when u hear, u will know ur operation is successful)

all other gears depends on u, u can put these in ur case:
Helm - G-face, A-face, 20%FCR Diadem (if u love high FCR TP MF)
Armor - Fort, Enigma, etc
Gloves - LOH, Drac, crafted CB gloves, Steelrend, Magefist (FCR TP), etc
Belts - Dungo, Nos, Arach (FCR TP), crafted str OW,
Boots - Gore, War Trav, Goblin etc.
Amulets - Atma (my fav, boost ur huge enough dmg w/ that ctc%), Highlord, FCR amulet, Mara, etc
Rings - good Dual leech (u may need some ML%), Ravenfrost, BK, Wisp, FCR rings, Angelic, etc.
Charms - use what normal melee char use.

Merc
A2 Might / Freeze Pride
A2 Might / Freeze Insight
A1 Faith / Brand
A5 LW

Others
Summary of the tutorial video, use some temp +big dex item to equip ur gears especially 2x PB, remove the temp gear,
Or just normally equip them all then use Token.
Then keep ur final dex smaller than 136, I will just set the dex to 126.
This build key item is Lawbringer, it has +10 dex mod on itself, so when u set to 126 dex when it's hold by ur char hand, ur actual dex is 136 already.

The curse from Lawbringer, and high dmg from Grief, high speed from PB base, make it really powerful, especially against enemy like Pindle.
I used this char a lot in pub BM duels, equip him with some FRW gears, with that Frenzy FRW Bonus, big fun to duel with Zon, on their side they can't see u (I think sometimes Frenzy & Double Throw get such problem), on their side, they will see u appear immediately in different places or just disappear. They got Curse above them, then get killed.

Why this glitch is good? Boxer glitch makes ur 5F Frenzy even more Faster (from my test, 62.33% faster than 5F Frenzy),

The test result shows Boxing glitch Frenzy maybe hit 3F or 2.5F or even lower FPS, I'm not sure how many exact FPS, but I will update my test contents later.

Test 1 result: 62.33% Faster than Grief+Beast 5F Frenzy

Build I used for Test 1:
Level 91 Barbarian
Helm - G-face
Armor - Fort
Weapon - Berserker Axe Grief + Beast
Gloves - LOH
Boots - Gore Rider
Belt - String of Ears
Amulet - Highlord
Rings - Ravenfrost

Test Object - single player 8 players Act 5 Tower

In non-glitch way, he's already hit 5F FPS Frenzy break point.
Timecodes (60 frames to sec)
01 - 11:18 = 11.300 sec
02 - 10:17 = 10.283 sec
03 - 11:36 = 11.600 sec
04 - 10:00 = 10.000 sec
05 - 10:45 = 10.750 sec
06 - 10:29 = 10.483 sec
07 - 09:41 = 09.683 sec
08 - 11:48 = 11.800 sec
09 - 10.01 = 10.017 sec
10 - 10:45 = 10.750 sec
11 - 09:42 = 09.700 sec

Average = 10.579 sec

In glitch way,
Timecodes (60 frames to sec)
01 - 06:56 = 6.933 sec
02 - 06:41 = 6.683 sec
03 - 06:21 = 6.350 sec
04 - 06:22 = 6.367 sec
05 - 06:40 = 6.667 sec
06 - 06:00 = 6.000 sec
07 - 06:36 = 6.600 sec
08 - 06:26 = 6.433 sec
09 - 06:24 = 6.400 sec
10 - 06:53 = 6.883 sec
11 - 06:22 = 6.367 sec

Average = 6.517 sec

(10.579 - 6.517) / 6.517 = 62.33% (the % that box faster than normal Frenzy)

Interesting tutorial, I read some boxing barb post from other forum many many years ago but none of them were specific enough, at least ones I saw didn't mention the value nor advantages,

If the result is like u said, grief beast boxer combo is 62.33% faster than same gear normal Frenzy attack (5F),

(5F Frenzy FPS - boxer Frenzy FPS) / boxer Frenzy FPS = 0.6233
boxer Frenzy FPS = 3.08014 F

so we can see Boxer Frenzy is 3F? break the 5F breakpoint?

Maybe this is a way to calculate the Fps.
When I did the comparison test, I can feel how obviously faster the glitch Frenzy is,

I tried Grief + Beast zerk yesterday for the first time and it's my favorite combo now, it's str glitch so AR shortage problem won't happen, also got the Fanaticism aura,
And a good news, this combo can also use Enigma (Ring mail), but if Enigma equipped, char must remove Anni & Torch for lower strength.
Did several Trav + Chaos + Pindle + Baal runs on Bnet US East, smooth and fast.

I will record a video for this new combo next time. and will swap the Grief to Zerk Last Wish for Über
