The sword mastery is completely wasted unless he wants to be able to kill something should his merc go down.

I would put those points in shout for this build.

I also wouldn't use Death, but I'm sure that's already been mentioned.

Finally, if he's stunning everything (or near enough everything) just bouncing with the leap, surely his merc would survive using a Wealth armour too?

Dunno, I've never tried this version before, but it could be fun.

yeah i also prefer act 2 might with eth botd wp , eth fort , eth cot and even the skills i think the best barb merc helper is imo:
1 pre reqs
20 shout
20 bo
1 battle command
20 battle cry (with +7warcry ->-102%defense , - 51 damage) you'r merc do more damage and takes less damage...
10 iron skin
10 natural resistance
11 find item
1 leap
then u do as u want

i put 5 in increased speed
5 in war cry (3.2s stun 2xx damage lvl 12 with +skills) good combo with battle cry instead of just leaping around...
but u can mix in here as u want or if u prefer put just 1 in them and rest into

this is my barb at lvl 95

Hi, Im ZxB and i play EuScL under acc Sylent.Im not around here for very long so u may not know me.This is my first guide ever.I decided to wrote it cause i find Goldfinder VERY effective,unique and fun char.This build is not for PvP.I hope u will like this ! smile.gif

Here are some d2 terms im gonna use here :

GF = Goldfind
EG = Extra Gold
Baba = Barbarian
Mf = Magic Find


Why Goldfind Barbarian ?

Answer is simple.....
U Can get gold and gamble.U can gamble ANY ITEM IN WHOLE GAME (xcept runewords and quest items ofc).
If u dont want to gamble, u can have gold to revive merc or repair your equipment.
If u still dont want to make gold baba heres another reason !
U can Trade game gold with other players and get Fg's ^^

Equipment :

NOTE : This is not the cheapest Goldfinder build....but is cool and very effective.^^

You ( Baba)

Helm : Crown Of Thieves [ aim for high Eg, sox it with Lem ] Fail use perf ik helm+2lem
Amu : Aim For 70+ Eg + Baba skills
Armor : Wealth [Mp / Dusk]  Fail my shouter gf barb use eni to control merc and still gets 500-800k gold/run
Belt : Goldwrap [ aim for higher eg ] Fail up it once for more drinks in it
Ring's : 2x Dwarf star rings
Weapon's : 2x Blade Of Ali Baba [ Sox it with 2x Lem ] Fail major time use 2 weapon 6sock=6x lem[cs or what eva]u still have around 350-400mf with my build..
Gloves : Chance Guard's
Boots : Infernostride / Res Eg boots icon_pointl.gif rare boots > inferno


Inventory :

Baba Torch [the higher the better]  icon_pointl.gif look for good res, council sometime have bad aura's ^^
Anni [ not needed if u dont want it ] icon_pointl.gif look @ torch
Gheed's Fortune [ aim for -15 Vendor Prices and High eg ] icon_pointl.gif perf > all
Eg Sc's / Lc's / Gc's icon_pointl.gif i use bo eg sk's + sc's 10eg+adds [mana,res..]
Some 20 Lifers if u need icon_pointl.gif fail


Merc :

Ok, im gonna talk about my choice here.....
I DONT HAVE A PALA MERC [ Act 2 ]
Insted i take act 5 Barbarian Merc.
Why ?
He can make more Dmg, Can tank better,Has more Life...
So he CAN KILL HELL TRAVI.

Merc Equpiment :

Eth Death Colosuss Sword
Eth Forti
Crown Of Thieve's [15 Ias Yewel inside]

If u have trouble, switch to Gaze,but u shouldn have any trouble if u play right...

Fail  Act2 Might > yours ... cot[lem or rare jool]+wealth+eth reapers toll[sheal] = massiv leech[he never dies, if u control nice with tele+stun bo], this curse of reapers+might= massiv dmg/fast runs...act5 is shit, he use bash and u use leap...lol u want to run behind the council?


Skills :
Ok....now we come to the skill tree ^^
Its Pretty Simple.

Find Item : 20 Points
Leap : 10-15 Points
Natural Resistances : 10+ Points
Sword Mastery : 20 Points
Battle Orders : 20 Points
+ prerequisites
[B]
Fail
[/B] as i said bo gf.....why max mastery anyways if not attacking? lawl


Now some Faq :


Q : How Much Gold u get per run ?
A : Usually i get 500-600 K gold per run.

Q : Where U Goldfind ?
A : I Goldfind in Travincal Hell without any trouble.

Q : How do u kill with Ali Baba ?
A : I don't.My merc kills.I just LEAP around, hes done very fast.Whenever ur merc is surounded
Leap around and let him kill the Council Members.When he is done use �Find Item � skill on
Corpses to get even more gold.

Q : Do u get anything xcept Gold ?
A : Yes, u can get VERY nice drops due to ur high MF.

Q : Why Wealth over Enigma ?
A : U loose to much Eg [ 300 ] and this merc is really smart, he wont get stuck or so.


**TIP**
When u gamble use Edge bow [ reduces vendor prices -15 ]
That way you will spend gold slower, and gamble more !
Well's does heal your Merc too.So if he is low on health, drink from well and heal him.


Conclusion :

I Hope U like this guide, if u think some thing is wrong / missing pls post here.
I would like som feedback.

1. Hrcovic - for the finances
2. Ivangozu - for being so gosu m8, always muling / helping me
