hehe nice guid

i have baba cser myself, but without the same stuff, and build is a little different too :

build : same than yours, except :
- 1 point in find item (+ pre-req) : very interesting on the 3 boss you kill, for only 1-2 second lost
- 1 point for war cry : howl is not always enough when cs is full ~~ need 37 fcr with switch for fight (arach 20, ring 10, and amu 10)

stuff :
WEAPON : i dislike grief, and i don't like to do as all other, so i use death ba 397 ed : 50 cb, 49% mortal strike (at lvl 98 ofc). However, death doesn't have ias, so you must take 40 ias with gloves and jewel on shield and on helm. With merco faith, you have enough ^^
GLOVES : I don't use same gloves : mine are crafted, with 20 ias, 10 cb, 15 dext, 13 life, and 19 ar
RINGS : one with fcr/dext/mana/ar (miss res ~~), and ofc raven
AMULET : crafted amu (one more !) with 2 baba apt, 10 fcr, 9% block (= 27 dxet, gozu but i search better), 26 lr and other crap mod
BOOTS : gore...
SHIELD : storm (ofc) socked jewel 15 ias 15@res
HELM : arreat with 15 ias 30 fire res
BELT : arach ofc, but i would change for crafted one
SWITCH : for tele, i use spirit shield + spirit sword : it is excessivly better than hoto : i have more than 1 k mana with it (and i still miss mana ~~), and max fhr, and max vita. I can't understand why you persist to use hoto
CHARMS : wc sk with life, sc with res or ar. I just use self-drop sc anyway ^^

so with this stuff : i do with cc and mc like 10 k damage at each attack. Sometimes, i kill seis in 2 shot only. (min 2 k damage, max 17 k damage). I have 75% cb (death 50, gore 15, gloves 10 : powerful vs diablo, when you are alone

Merco :
Vampiregaze !!!!! (soked jewel 15 ias 15@) 20% damage reduce, you must absolutly take it instead of diademe with life/bered/jeweled !
Fortitude : more def/life than coh. If you loose res, that's not really important : my merco never dead because of elemental attacks.
Faith : no comment.


Few problems of this build :
my res are low when i'm cursed with low res, so i don't use 3/20/20 sc but life/res sc. It's a choice, and anyway i have enough ar ^^
fhr : i have actually only 30 fhr, and i need 48 min : i would change arach and amu 10 fcr vs crafted belt 24fhr/life/res and amu 15+ fcr (both must do 27 fcr min)
ias : if your merco rip, you loose ias... and you suffer to finish the cs. But my merco rip near never ~~

there are several builds of cs-barbs,in 1.10 i had to make with botd,cuz no grief/death/...
urs is nice,just like mine.
but why u need 37fcr on fightslot?
i have to use hoto and spirit shield cuz else i don't reach my 105 fcr cap ;-)
i bet u made faith in crusader bow?slow ias speed ;-)
i made in blade bow,toghether with 2 x ias jools u reach max cap
my merc leech himself full in a sec cuz of 15%ll and max ias frame possible on act 1 merc
i only get ias problems IF merc rip AND decrepify is casted,so never ;-)
ur fhr prob is easy solved,use tele slot to tele away--> spirit has 55 fhr extra ;-)

but as i said,ur build is as good as mine to get the job done.
we both got our own build and own reasons for using what we like :-)

When i use war cry, it's always in CaC, so with fight slot : 37 fcr is great so.
The best example for the interest of 37 fcr is seis with fana + mana burn :
By mistake, you tele directly on seis+minion : even if you have 86 fhr with spirit, + around 50% block + drink mana pot, it's near iimpossible to cast war cry (howl is useless in this situation)
So i take storm for max block, drink mana pot and i do war cry 37 fcr is good so. Ofc this situation near never arrive, but it save my life. So i need it. Moreover, tele with 75% block is great when you have a looot of snake at nihla ^^

And at last, you can pk more easily the nerd who try to stole the dp's exp (like Trapsky (assa), the biggest noob on the realm atm).

for merco : when he rips, it's always vs venom champions at Seis : 2-3 boss who can't be afraid
Seis curses decrepit more damage, and the merco moves slowly this champions fight my merco at CaC. the rogue only attacks far away of monster, so he tries to move far away he doesn't attack/ leech he rips.

so leech is not so usefull ^^

P.S. : i did faith on hydra bow (max damage so). But do it in your bow is not a bad idea... i will think about it
