Nice guide. I think I'm going to make one.

I for some reason, decided to use swords and found that the lwpb & Death Colossus Swords a great combo. I went with magnus' gloves for the 20ias and 100AR which really adds like 500 for me. Because I didn't choose a botd, i needed mana steal, and so got a duel leach 100+AR ring. i use a metalgrid as amulet and gores as boots (amazing for any pvm char in my opinion) i have over 100% Crushing Blow, and somewhere between 55 and 60% Deadly Strike. With the Life tap from the lw, the Fade from the lw, and the Chilling Armor from the Fort (i use a dusk shroud).

Personally i'm thinking of trying something new, and remaking him with a Beast zerker, and Death Zerker(eBotDz could be substituted but the IAS is really worthless on the frenzy w/ lv9 fanaticism), and getting Drac's back because i think the Fanaticism and a weapon that actually does damage (as apposed to lw pb) instead of might, and life tap from drac's because i'll loose it without the lw (if i really want fade, i can always put a treachery in the stash to get it).

(btw, with lv 20 frenzy, and a Beast berzerker axe in the right hand, a Frenzy barb is already at the max IAS breakpoint for frenzy)

Just wondering what ya think about the sword set up, and my idea about the axes.

thx for the guide

just checking my pic keeep it tight

I'm playing a Hardcore PvM Frenzy Barb who's level 42 at the moment and just started NM and have still yet to find any axes. Should I just not put any points in Axe Mastery for now and keep looking? Or, should I try to maybe build towards sword or mace?

old guide and not verry good one if you ask me.. no need to bump this really

This guide has been working great for me so far! I'm planning to play another barb like it in HC when the ladder resets.

nice guide man im gonna do this baba but for pvm

Damn you know nothing about barbs I see, and bad guide

Helms Arreats it gives good bonuses : res/str/dex/life leech/skills ,But still Gulli helm with 35% crushing bow 15% Deadly strike and str is better.

Boots Sandstor : Thats a joke? Gore riders gives 15% deadly strike , crushing blow and open wounds.

And weapons should be Grief Pb and Death CS
