So alot of you have been wondering, just who the hell is Sorc101?
Well, those that remember me, would know me as w.K)bRoOkLyN or kG-bRoOkLyN from 2003-2005
My internet alias was bRoOk back then.  Since 2008, I've been Sorc101.

I've made 3 characters since my return, a fireball sorc, an mf/gf frenzy barb and a strafazon.

This is the first guide I will be writing and it's going to be about the frenzy barbarian.
Look in the future for fb sorc guide and a strafazon guide as well.

I used to pvp in 2004, but never since (boring)

If you are a PvM'er, or want to start learning how to mF & craft, then this guide is for you!

When i made my barb i referred to Papa Smurf's guide to remember how to do it.
I tweeked it of course, to suit my godliness.  As you grow in forum gold, you can do the same.

Stat points and skill points:

(or click here: http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/72/barbbuild.jpg

Basically, I put 100% of the points into Vitality because the items I used on my barb boosted the str i needed to equip everything.
This character requires 0 dexterity (you do not block when duel wielding) and 0 energy (jus mana leech is all you need)

When using find item, you want to be at 49% because after that you will recieve what's known as diminishing returns (no futher bonus, a penalty instead)

This Video shows a demonstration of the barbarian:

I used fraps to create the video and recorded it from a laptop, so it is a little laggy and slow, but it shows you the supremacy.

Here is a picture of the barbarian equipped with some of the best gear on useast.
You will of course adjust your own build according to what you can and cannot afford.

Godly.

Some Places to MF:

Den of Evil - blue zombie in there
Cave lvl 1 - coldcrow the archer
Stony Field - Rakanishu
The pit - entire lvl 1 and 2 (found in tamoe highland)
Inner Closter - Bone Ash
Andariel (of course!)
Sewers Lvl 2
Lost City - The Ancient Tunnels
Act 3 all six temples (bazaar upper and causeway)
Travincal
Mephisto
River of Flame - entire area
Chaos Sanctuary
Eldricth
Pindleskin
Sharptooth (in frigid by captive barbs)
Eyeback (at entrance to arreat plateu)
Thresh Socket (at entrance to crystalline passage)
BoneSaw (inside glacial trail)
Drifter's Cavern (cave in glacial trail)
Halls of Pain/Vaught - Nilathak
Ancient's Way - entire area
Icy Cellar (cave in the ancients way)
Worldstone lvl 1 2 3 and throne room
Baal

Subbosses are the key, always kill champs, remember not to use any cold damage because this freezes bodies and you can't search them!
Tell your party members to take off redemption/holy freeze, and tell the necros to piss off on the corpse explosion
When inside the chaos sanctuary, never use frenzy while oblivion mages are present.  Always use berzerk for fear of iron maiden!

Hope this helps you guys out there.  And remember, you can't become godly in a day!

Good luck!!

All questions should be posted.  PMs will be ignored, my inbox is always spammed on a daily basis!!
Please post instead of PM and i will get to you when I can.  Thanks all.

"CHAMP OUT!!"

nice joke my little dupeusing noob

wrong eq
wrong stats
wrong merc


if I want inferior killspeed (and thus less items in the same amount of time, I' ll use your build)

otherwise:
learn game basics

I remember you during 1.09 when you had been posting/spamming in the Battle.net D2 Trade Forums. I also remembered back then you were "rich" yet you would dodge all my duels. I didn't read the guide as I don't particularly care for it but it annoys me how people will suck your dick for the amount of fg you acquired.

lmfao my build closely resembles this
currently looking for 3/20/7's and a rare zerker to take over the ebotdz im using.
Your an idiot if you think the merc is wrong and if I wanted inferior advise I'd listen to you.
It's a great build, alotta fun, and godlies poppin out of everything everywhere.
Still say you should sell me your bmana 3/20/7's sorc.

Quote (Ancalagon @ Sun, Jun 21 2009, 07:14pm)

you know the difference between the two of us..
you call me an idiot but cannot come up with reasons why
I call you a fool who does not know the game and I can say why

the fanatism a1 merc offers speed and up to 144% off weapon ed

now the problem is the following: we do not need the speed of fanatism to get maximum speed because of a little good old thing called WSM bug aka left hand bug..(read majinkaisa's frenzyguide for a good explanation)
a simple a2 might merc offers more than 200% off weapon ed
and the a2 merc can use a reaper's toll which actually means that we face monsters that are more vulnerable to our attacks and we face less immunes...

this means that we deal more damage with an a2 merc and are safer
1. monsters are slower
2. monsters receive more damage
3. we receive less damage because monsters die sooner
4. we kill more monsters in the same amount of time which means more drops and more items = better

a1 mercs are not really a good choice

okay so that is proof for the wrong merc which then leads us to the wrong statting

more damage= more leech+stability+items you overstat str to increase oyur stability and killspeed
you do not need more than 2k life with a barbarian if you know how to play him...

but hey let's continue with the equipment

To go back to majinkaisa... if you MF, you are looking for things which means that you actually need stuff and thatswhy you do not invest all those runes.. let's see
jah+ber for eni which is mroe or less bullshit
jah for faith which is nonsense
LO for DS in a very bad weapon (low damage compared to a simple oath)
cham in the helmet for nonfreeze when a simple raven is enough
LW which is actually a bad choice because of several things
a ) low basedam
fade which is not needed (+ treachery offers a higher fade anyway)
c) might aura cannot make up for the damageloss of the baseitem
d) LT on strike which is counterproductive because it does not help you in the important situations for a physical melee (IM,PI,dolls)
e) LT which means no dec which means less damage and more immunes = less killspeed

low DS and CB rates because of the equipment


I could go on but this is just too easy
