thats how its done
you have widowmaker on one switch and deaths webs on the other

you ww defensively vs stuff like smiters, hammers, etc that try to stomp/charge you
you widow/switchglitch everything on your minimap.



using dream is the kind of retarded stuff that only someone who has never, ever, *ever* tried this and is pure theorycrafting would try
fortunately I am experienced had a cache leftover from 1.09
people will either teleport to town at low hp (pubs) or will be extremely easy to kill with 1 bow or ww hit (gm pvp)
dream will not ever really help you. You won't be able to chase down pubs and kill them with dream's pulse unless they have 500 max hp and -100% resists
because they can get to town easily. beyond that, dream often doesn't even penetrate MDR.

If they have even 5 mdr, holy shock will always fail to kill them. With just 2 mdr, it will fail 50% of the time
with tgods, or es, or cyclone armor, etc- it will never deal any damage

Meanwhile, throwing on knockback allows you to have a meaningful attack after poison- it allows ranged FHR lock even with your low damage
A giant skull is a better helm than a dream by far, though I wouldn't recommend either (CoA)

I'm am 100% sure a melee poison barb is by far better than your ranged poison barb.
This isn't a theory crafted barb... I have been playing with this one for over 8 months now.
You're using the widowmaker to attack your target, and deathwebs on switch.  While I'm attacking with my deathwebs (WANDS, which is quite nice!). So, I got 1 switch left to stack resistance, fcr, ....

In pubs I rarely see people reach akara I just intercept them with my switch 2 and leap them a few times, by then most holy shock has done the trick. If you see they got any form of MDR, abs, ... just ww them for a second time (You got 18.000 attack rating, so landing 1 more hit isn't that difficult....)

This character is amazingly FUN to play with, you do require some skill! I think the melee poisonbarb has a higher mobility than yours. And I'll keep saying, killing people with just 2 Wands is awesome....

I dont think you have to hit them with the wands to apply more of the poison damage. All you gotta do is switch to the dwebs really fast and then out of it.

Yeah, you might hit faster, but I think mobility is really important in this build. I got 70fcr on switch... combine it with leap & ww, and they have a hard time to catch me

How will you ever kill a charger/smither as a bowbarb... by the time they're at 1hp they already had plenty of time to kill you. While I could easyly teleport around

If you don't believe me, I'd love to show you this character ingame!

by whirlwinding away
thats why dwebs are on one switch and bow on the other.

this char is not whatsoever new. people have made them since 1.10 first came out

You keep saying that as if it justifies your whole character, and it really doesn't. But do whatever you want then.
