I don't think so... I would never want to change the concept of this character (attacking with wands & shocking them dead), which doesn't mean I'm not open for opinions about how I could improve this character (without changing the concept ofc..)

yes well you have fun with that
unfortunately that doesn't mean the rest of us want to play suboptimal builds

a poison barb using only melee attacks is strictly worse than one with a widowmaker switch
so you can do whatever you want but writing guides is not the best idea

The concept of hit and run is known (ie rabies on wolves.) but shocking them is useless if it doesnt kill all. lol

You keep saying that... while I'm convinced melee poison barbs >>> ranged poison barbs ... If you know anyone on europe non ladder, who has a ranged poison barb, please let me know... so we can stop this 'flaming'

This was my first guide, never wanted to make a masterpiece of it All I did was the basic information you need to make one yourself..

I rather play a "suboptimal" build like I have, than a "optimal" barb who, imo, is less fun

Besides, I'm sure I didn't wrote this guide to please YOU.

I dont need a psn barb to prove it.
How will you reach camping chars ie trappers or even hammerdins without dieing? U CANT.

50% chance of shocking them dead is not useless

I don't get your problem man if you can't shock them down ww them down.. easy as that

If I prefer to kill them with shock, why wouldn't I go for it? It's not like I've lost the duel if they can abs my holy shock... I still can ww them

let me explain a common duel tactic:

Start, I ww him he gets hit I switch to my wizzy + dream start teleporting away & using leap to back him off once he is at 1hp I start playing offensive by teleporting into his "area" if the first shock didnt kill him switch to ww and kill him

For example: Why would I risk my life jumping into a hammerdins hammers... when my shock has a 50% chance of killing him??

Ofc I can, it just requires skill....

I'm sure a trapper owns a ranged barb so easyly..... while I've never lost to one so far

Its not about the killing blow, its about hitting him at all.

you mean with deathwebs?

Yes, how will you hit him if all he does is sit in his hammers? ^^
With widow, you can! But now...you CANT
