Damn that sums up the frustration with the loading screens

I have Eth Arioc's but I'm having trouble choosing a helm/armor to go with it. I have
Helm: Andy's, Tal mask, Kira's, Crown of Thieves
Armor: Duriel's, Treachery, Gladiator's bane
Everything is currently unsocketed.

I was thinking to socket Amn in Arioc's and use Kira's+Treachery. Would you suggest something else? I would prefer not to socket Kira's or Glad bane if I don't have to.

Have a build like this in the guide

Amn in Ariocs
Andy with Um or 15AllRes
Glad bane with 15All Res or Um

if you dont want to use 15All Res on Glad bane, at least put a Ral into your Andy's in that case.
That'll put your merc at roughly 50~fire + 65other resists

incredible work. clean guide. vouch!

decent setup, but mine is better

1200 warcry dmg
37 fcr bp
1k mana
merc with reaper


with this dmg and fcr its not my merc the danger. I am the danger
and it can be done without loosing eg from gear if geared properly

also to all the people who want fire res on infernostrdes//rare boots - with 2x dwarf star you can literally stand naked in hydras with 0 res and take 0 damage. Stop asking for fire res if you're using 2x dwarf

I mean, please elaborate. This isn't telling me very much. Maybe yours is the best Goldfind barb build out there, so I'd love to hear it.
What's the setup, what's the time to gold cap? Any affix combos that suck a bit? etc.

Merc with Reaper why? Could use Gavel for the Amp Damage over Decrep, and he doesn't need the LL.

Every build has been done, even the gravel. The overall goal is to max your gold stash while spending the least of amount of time and effort doing it.

you want to maximize the amount of gold drops per run and kill fast enough to leave/join a game without getting blocked by blizzard.

pros and cons as always,

typical pros: free to cast even though its 33% chance, decrep slows (better for crowd control), good for wc damage boost

typical cons: cold damage (chance to break/shatter bodies)

Also, hes probably using 10eg/17mana charms to maintain the 1k mana. would leave him with less res if faced with a conviction council

i still can't see the upside of reaper's over amp damage, aside from maybe the micromanagement removal maybe?
double damage vs. triple damage is a hard proposition to beat.

i'd have to try or see it to get a feel for it. just did a gold cap run below 20 minutes, and if something can do that but better, i really need to get on it.
seems like it could be really powerful if you telestomp & warcry for damage, etc.

merc reaper becouse of decrepify. Believe me 1.2k dmg with decrepify and 37fcr is deadly. I know cold dmg can make body vanish but still worth it. Amp from gavel is better ofc, but 3 charges and low radius range is annoying. Also you need to go repair every run and waste seconds for this.
Actually the best option i've tried is brand bow on switch. 35% to cast lvl 14amplify when struck. Just go/tele into the biggest group and wait 1-2sec with this bow and whole band on big radius is amplified until end of the run. But runes are Jah Lo Mal Gul so bit pricey.

i dont like saying that y barb is getting xx milion gold per hour. We can have 2-2.5k eg but its based on luck mostly anyway.
I had 0 gold run once. 0 from killing, 0 from horking
I had 1.5m run once
I had 480k from 1 council member once (3 gold piles on kill, another 3 on hork)

the only issue with this build is mana, but you can get this with mixing wc eg sks and mana eg charms.
also lightning enchanted mod hurts a lot. The faster you cast warcry the harder it hits you
