Ever thought about using max/ar/life GC's and SC's instead of the skillers?

You dont really need the extra life boost and you dont have defense anyway.

My CS-barb had 2,3k on screen dmg with an inventory filled with max/ar/life charms, and an arreats with 15max/15ias, max dmg adds more than 40ed if I remember correctly.

At lvl 92 he only ripped a total of 2 times (once in preparing a UT run lol) so only once in CS. Therefore I can say that the extra life isn't really needed and you will have more killing speed :]

well imo it's better to use wc sks, and believe me, I've tried with max dmg/ar/life scs and gcs. The bo is also nice for the baalruns, and for merc, since a a1 merc doesnt have that much life, but with a nice bo she will almost never die

Well, I just prefer max/ar/life :]

By the way, I was using an a1 merc, cold arrow with Ice bow. I found this to fit my style of playing more than faith. If I'm right, the faith doesn't actually let you reach the next BP, so the IAS is useless. The extra AR is also useless when I use max/ar/life charms.
As for the bo in the runs, you have a point there, but most of the time they are also fine with a lower lvl bo. We didn't die anyway :]

I don't use the faith bow for hitting the next BP, I use it because seis casts decrep 99% of the time and well without faith you hit real slow then. while with faith you almost don't lose any ias.
And ofc if u use max/ar/life charms u won't even notice the ar faith gives, it's only like 1 or 2k ar anyways.

Got a point there, but I experienced Seis only takes 3-4 hits anyway. If you have a fast topper this shouldn't be a problem.

But either way has its pros and cons :]

that's true

thank you for this guide, its simple and nice.

I dont know enough about barbs to say if there could be some variiety in the items, but if I ever decide to make a cs barb, I will use this guide.

nice one,
