Supplement 2 - How the glitch Wolf Barb works
"Mainhand WP" - The game system identified the "mainhand" wp in 2 ways:

a. Hand that holds a WP first
b. Hand above the gloves (right side on screen)

so when we equip wp above boots, then equip the other wp above gloves (also "mainhand"), the bug exists now, detail step:

1. Evertime after BO and switch back to wps
2. First equipped wp identified by game system is dex glitch PB (above boots), (since dex PB got -require, current dex makes it equipped eariler than Grief)
3. Then Grief PB (above gloves) can be equipped due to the +dex mod of dex glitch PB
4. Transform to Werewolf, this skill would see Grief as "main hand" (cuz above gloves), it will use Grief to attack (werewolf / bear only use 1x wp)
5. However, since the dex glitch PB equipped first (identified as "mainhand" wp first), so dex glitch's attack speed already be applied to Grief attack speed.

* This glitch is permanent, unlike some glitch builds that u need to put it up and down to trigger.
** Even if use dual wps, Feral Rage will only use one of them to attack (here is Grief)

Supplement 3 - Werebear Version
can be same build, use Beast RW after BO and chant,
when I'm testing it in CBaal runes (including Thrones Level 1-3), I make several gears change:
Helm: G-face (Um'd, here I use 15@res+15max jewel)
Armor: SA fort
Gloves: Steelrend
Belts: 30str OW belt
Boots: Upped gore
Amu: Highlord (Atma backup)
Ring: Dual Leech + Raven
Merc: same (e Reaper soc'd, E-Andy, E-SA Fort, Might Aura)

Feeling: b4 I tried this for fun in Chaos and thought it's fun, but this time I made a build purely for it, I think not good enough to compare to Wolf one tho it still nice one:
Higher Life amount (at least 9.5k life based on different str vita set),
defense same (bit higher than wolf's 21k but not too much)
Slower speed (frw and attack)
lower AR (no attack skill after all)

Great stuff! Will try this build later.

Ps. Nice format for easy read.

Supplement 4 - Last Wish Über 6x Boss
Did it this afternoon US East NLSC
Recently trade a LW for this build, never use LW on any char in Über b4,
I should say prepare 4x PB (2x glitch sets) or just use Grief setup is fine.
If I didn't forgot to switch to Fort for Tristram maybe a little bit faster.

I appreciate!

Makes me want to redownload the game, nice find

Interesting. Good read!
Well done

Great find mate
I will read it carefully this weekend and do some tests when i understand it fully.
How do you think it will work with a grief of destruction? It adds 10dex.

I didn't even know there's hydrid thing on D2 history b4 I registered D2JSP, looks really cool.
And I've mentioned about +attribute main wp in the Topic -> Supplement -> Azurewrath part.
so this beauty and BOTD sword may not make the build work sadly... cuz max +dex appears on jewels are 9, out of range.

Yeah, max dex in jewels is 9

If it were CS or CB base, can make str glitch XD
