Hey guys,

Considering trying to get a barb to 99 next ladder - but is there legit any 'clearspeed' builds out there? I'm usually playing fully decked out nova sorc's - so im kinda worried it will be to slow for my taste :(

Double throw and zerk focused ww hybrid are the best I’ve found but still a lot slower than any other class

Dno how its now at d2r, but chaos zerk barb and double throw barb was viable before tz.

Its a skip mobs playstyle, go for the zeal bosses and diablo.

I used brand rw bow on swap to trigger amp on harder packs and rest decked out with 3/20/18-19 scs, torch, Anni, double grief pb, nigma, draculs, gores, highlords and 2/30/20 circlet or arreats. Was leveling between my pvp and tried all other stuff. Ww-ing is just so satisfying compared to other builds and with decked out in sc-s it is actually 8p viable. Take a merc with pride, not with reaper if you go for amp or it will reset. Also, I noticed my playstyle I ran too much between groups and my merc was always too late to trigger decryp, pride worked better in that case.

Not the fastest but not annoying slow either. I ran 8p solo TZ or 8p mf split where I solo-d baal.

Took the idea from this dude https://youtu.be/EiGrIGd7i2I?si=gwmYBp-Q-bPmr46. Only due to using all scs with life I had like 6500 life after BO iso 3500 in movie.

Why do you care? If you going ladder, it means online, it means you want to get full games. So you won't need to kill everyone on your own.

But yeah, barb is slow if you want to kill aoe, only for champions it's okay.
