OK, So to start with I would like to reference the previous guide that got me thinking how I could improve upon their guide and how I could make a more budget friendly build at the same time

here is the 136 dex glitch wolf barbarian guide by IronBoar -> user -> https://forums.d2jsp.org/user.php?i=1191276

Low Dex Glitch Wolf Barbarian Guide


ESSENTIAL GEAR:
Ethereal Stormlash Zod'd
4 Socket Griswald Weapon with 1x Ko rune and 3x Sheal rune
(Optional - 6 Socket Crowbill with 5x sheal and 1x 9 dex / -15 % requirement RARE yellow letter jewel instead of griswald weapon)
8-15 dex wolfhowl (lower the better)

REST OF GEAR
1x Angelic ammy
1x angelic ring
1x Mana leech ring or dual leech ring (Manald heal works fine)
GLOVES: Dracs gloves
ANY BOOTS - hotspurs / gore riders / triple resist rare boots / goblin toe
BELT: Glooms trap belt for mana leech if you want to use 2x angelic rings or belt of your choice doesn't matter
ARMOR: Wealth for gold find but remember it adds +10 dex / Enigma / Fortitude

Anni = 10/xx/x
torch = 10/xx barb torch

CHARMS:
You can use 40% gold find / 15 all resist grand charms with 10x 10% gold find / 5 all resist small charms for gold find
OR you can use 3/20/20's or 36/20's or grand charms with similar stats
My barb uses 37x 1-71 lightning damage small charms with 20 life but that is not necessary at all

SWITCH WEAPONS
3 bo weps
dual hoto
dual wiz spikes


This build works with zero charms fairly well so use whatever you like for charms



Now here is the Guide Portion:
put 126 strength for wolfhowl helmet to be equipped
put griswald weapon 4 socket KO SHEAL SHEAL SHEAL above boots
Put eth zod'd stormlash above gloves
Make sure your dex is between 67-69 with all gear equipped using stormlash
press "w" to switch to you bo weps (dual hoto for example) - then cast battle orders and transform into wolf
While transformed into wolf press "w" to switch to the stormlash / griswald weapon
use feral rage on right click

you should be swinging with stormlash at twice the speed and hitting with stormlash EVERY time which means that you are casting static field like crazy so everything else around you will be at half health

the build works great also because stormlash has 33% chance of crushing blow which is great for UBERS

I think the Lower Dex version of this guide is superior to the grief phase blade version, even though it's slightly slower.
The static field and crushing blow make up for what the grief single target attack lacks which is crowd control

this build literally will kill every monster in the game very fast and effectively

I have 363 points unused at lvl 85 which can be either used into strength for double damage (363% enhanced damage) or can be placed into vitality

when i maxed vitality my life was at 8k+

SKILLS:
20 pts mace mastery
20 pts frenzy (fun when not in wolf form and works with glitch as well and you even turn invisible on other people's screens)
1 pt whirlwind
1 pt increased speed
15 pts increased natural resistance
20 pts battle orders
1 pt battle command

any extra points can go into berzerk to synergize frenzy


this is a reasonably affordable build by using griswalds weapon that already has -20% requirement and just adding a simple Ko rune and 3x sheals instead of having to find an expensive 9 dex / -15% requirement jewel to use with phaseblade or crowbill

let me know if you have any questions

here is s/s with my 37x 1-71 lightning / 20 life small charms and no extra stat points used and wearing fort



please note that the character screen is lying its actually swinging with the higher damage every time so i'm really doing 150 to 5.5k damage at roughly 4 frames or 6.25 attacks per second

this is one of the most fun builds I have ever tried and I came up with the idea myself based off of the high dex version

I use:
10/20 anni
12/20 torch (i have 10/10 torch on ladder waiting for me but 10/20 is ideal)
1 angelic ring
1 angelic ammy
1 dual leech ring with NO dex
8 dex wolfhowl
fortitude
dracs
triple resist belt with goldfind
triple resist boots with goldfind
dual hoto on switch
37x 1-71 lightning small charms with 20 life
eth stormlash 300% zod
6 socket crowbill with 5x sheal / 1x 9 dex -15% requirement jewel OR cheaper version griswald set weapon with 1x Ko rune and 3x Sheal


and my dex is exactly 67 without adding any points iirc

STASH:
Enigma
Wealth
Highlords
Glooms Trap
Gore riders
Goldwrap
2x Dwarf stars
Chanceguards



Mercenary
WEAPON: Infinity -> 100% best choice because it breaks all lightning immunes and makes your static field do damage to lightning immune monsters
ARMOR: I use guardian angel for travincal
HELMET: I use Kira's helmet for travincal

you can try fort / andys with 30% fire resist 15% ias jewel too but i found bringing higher elemental max resistance on mercanary kept them alive more and life leech was not needed because of lifetap from your dracs gloves will be cast so frequently that mercenary will heal from lifetap and just needs resists from guardian angel / kira's to stay alive

i mainly used this as a travincal goldfind barb and used goldfind charms and wealth armor but this build is easily suitable for UBERS or anything else in the game

ALSO if you don't want to use dracs gloves you can also use SOUL DRAINER gloves and it will break physical immunes if you hit them enough times but i would recommend dracs gloves

Try the build out, all it costs to build is really 3 items:
8-15 dex wolfhowl (any wolfhowl)
eth stormlash with zod rune
griswald set weapon with 4 sockets and 1x Ko rune and 3x sheal rune

hopefully someone finds this build as fun as I do

thank you for your time, and have a great day!

IF you have any questions feel free to ask or bump my guide so more people view it! just happy to share my unique build with the gaming community

NOTE: THIS BUILD DOES NOT WORK ON D2R - It only works on Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction

Note- the build will not work if you go above 69 dex

Wow! It'll be fun!

I wanted to try till I read "37x 1-71 lightning / 20 life small charms"...

Too expensive to me but a good guide!

thats just what i use... it works with zero charms broski

even without charms and using just 10% gold find small charms it still shreds travincal with ease

also my s/s was with wearing enigma on accident ...

With fortitude i do 6.5k damage max damage at 4 frames or 6.2 attacks per second

Great Write up! I'm going to try this out bud!

Another option for belt slot: Wilhelm's Pride

I think this is better

thanks for input ... yes that would work upgrade compared to what i was using for mana leech

The build works great, but i just did more research and it only works between 67-69 dex ... after 70 dex caduceus is wearable and the glitch stops working...

so it literally works only between 67-69 dex

Those small charms are VERY hard to find, even just one.

the build doesn't require charms ... i was just saying what I personally use

you can use plain 20 life small charms and still have 8k life and do crazy damage

or no charms at all
