Firstly gonna go through inventory on the perfect bva setup:
20/20/10 anni
20/20 torch
451 psn sc no comments. I have a 175/20 for the lolz, but matter of preference
10-20 colddmg 20 life sc no need. you are not a bvb, you don't need t ochill your opponents. dual ravens do the job.
16 x 3/20/20
15 x 36/20 (ar/life) it is fun to let the player do the calculation himself, see how much steel or max/ar/vit he needs in order to hit 9k+ ar. I am sure he will appreciate it. You never know if he is able to get all perfect 36/20 in one go.
cube in inventory with bo items (6 bo helm, 2 x bk, 3 wc amu and arach kept in cube in inventory at all times for fast bo'ing, and because it circumvents most legit pvp rules as to being allowed precast items because it takes up inventory space). I am not sure if you are going to have any stash problems. Let me read on further. bva especially compared to bvc, bva has the most stash problems imo
gear:
Helms: Arreats 200/6 with 40/9 (ed/dex) jewel or rare 30% ed 9 dex 9 str -15 req jewel (this ought to be upped) + Coa 30/15/2 'ber+ber'. I do not think guillaumes or kira's is worth the inventory space. No comments about arreats. and Ur right about Kira, but gulli not worth the stash space?
Amu's: Mara 30@ + Highlords + Angelic amu + 3 wc amu. No comments about HL, angelics. However Rly Hate to say this, i really wanted to stamp a huge fail on this guide and decided not to read further once I read ur section about amulets. Maras for a barb? Gosh this is basics... Am I sure I am reading correctly this is true? someone claims he has been playing for long and mara is a good baba ammy? Are you making a Singer?
Armor: Enigma, style is your own chosing, high defence however is a big plus no comments
Main Weapons: Grief 15/3 ba 34+ ias 400 dmg + Beast 15 ed 3 ar 40 str etc. Widowmaker 200/5 um'ed in stash if you like the ranged option, personally I've never found it to be better than the alternative which will be explained. W/M? this is not needed. Useless versus good hammerdins anyway. I played both barbs and hammerdin, window maker is redundant
Switch Weapons: 2 x 40@ hoto 15 ed 3 ar scourges. (Will be explained). no comments. But I am perplex at ur suggestion about getting a pair of superior scrouges. I wonder why you suggest that? waste of money and resources. Do you plan properly ahead? Might as well use the extra money in more meaningful places or value-added place
Shield: Storm with 40 ed 9 dex or rare jewel like mentioned above except it should have attack rating instead of -15 req all bva should use eld. I made a many bvas before, go eld for the win.
Belts: Dungo 40/13/15 + TGV 200% ed + arach (as mentioned above). also a 24 fhr 10 ow str life res belt is gosu. no comments
Gloves: TO Gloves + Draculs. no comments
Rings: 2 x 250/20 raven, 2 x bk (as mentioned above for bo), 1 x dwarf, 1 x wisp, 1 x 10 fcr 110+ ar 20 str 15 dex 80+ mana. + 2 x angelic ringssorry to be direct, Another fail about barb fcr rings. Str and dex not needed. Priority is fcr/11x ar/70+mana/ 30+life. Basics. How long have you played barbs?
Boots: Gore's 200% + Gosu triresboots like you have already. no comments
You played west before? My comments. as bold above
