hmm isnt it importent to brake some of the lower FHR frames (with sandstorm) it dont req many 5/5 fhr/all res sc's.. but any why not use upped gores ?

Eth arreats zod'ed.. hmm would denfently go for an upped one.. but what about the option of using eth zod bug arreats with 40/9 (only on non-ladder) ? or just normal upped arreats 40/9 (+490 def), dosent this very nice boost of dmg not mean more then the little ekstra def from eth ?

Ias have NO infekt on WW, so never use ias jewels for WW barb..
Max Dmg does NOT work in helms, armors, sheilds... ONLY in weapons (i have read this many places, but still not sure)
Str. works in all equip, and gives barb +1% dmg, pr stat

hmm if you wanna use psn, only use it in public games then.. Psn is normally banned in all closed duels (for WW barbs)

39 x 3.20.20's well it's possible the best, but take a look on one 3.20.20's price on ladder.. 30 Hr's? 30x39=1170 hr's on ladder ^^
even on non-ladder 39 x 3.20.20's are expensive.. about 25 hr's...
maybe you should surgest some poor-mann/ladder possibilyties, with some skiller charms or something

you also might should reconsider how many stats you'll put in str. (i'am sure someone in a later post have explained it)

but beside, Nice guide smile.gif

This is an excellent guide. I am considering making a barb to test it out. You might want to mention the reasons for building a barb opposed to building a powerful caster.

EX: Some good trappers or w.e can only be defeated with barbs because they have lots of life and such (casters have a harder time with good trappers because in most cases once you are in a mind blast lock, ur dead)

hi im new to this forum and ive been doing some thinking about wether to use botd cb with a shield or a ba with a shield. Its sort of unlogical to use a cb with a shield because a ba shield does more dmg, but if u use the cb 2 handed why not use a Warpike if ur gonna fight 2 handed anyway. I would like to hear some of ur opinions on this subjekt

Use botd BA, nothing else. Only use shield when fighting other barbs and zealots/bowazons. Vs everything else, switch out your shield for a beast BA. See my wwbarbguide for details, it's quite covers all that.

Botd+beast is better & cheaper. Same avg dmg and more ar, open wounds & crushing blow. The speed from fana is also nice when using frenzy or berserk.
