I would like to use a Frenzy barb for ubers on HC single player. I'm wondering which weapons I can use that are easy to get, either being unique or mostly requiring lower runes (could maybe get a Kingslayer with a Gul Rune at most). Also, does WSM glitch still work in current D2R?

Stone Crusher + Stormslash are unique weapons what you are looking for.

Look for builds if you're set on a barb. I did this on HC pred2r on hc p8 and it took me a while even with decent gear. I think there may be a concentrate option that outplays frenzy in Ubers.

But if you're set on frenzy, here are some of the tips
1 you need a ton of AR, prebuff enchant with demon limb
2 howl is the key- in mini Ubers this works good enough, but there are PIs and a ton of other mobs as you know, so this is where patience comes in
3 original question -kongslayer, oath, obviously grief would be very helpful, you do need to cause damage, so I'd advise 1 grief or a solid oath at bare minimum. Stormlash is very rare so if you have it that could work, or cmoon pb
4 decrep- you can use a lawbrogner pb on main hand, but damage is low. Merc could have reapers or go with the new A5 frenzy Merc and give the pb, regardless you need decrep up
4.5 life tap it's a risk to go without, but decrep is probably better. You don't have guarantee hits like smite or concentrate and not high AR like kicks, so life tap only works if You're hitting. Decrep improves your damage and reduces what you take, since it slows enemies
5 still need regular mods like open wound to stop Regen and crushing blow to take out dents of health
6 I did this on lod with a SP mod that did not have minions in Uber trist, so take the howl challenges described above and likely multiply them.

Ye I'm planning to use Howl - shoudln't that allow me to just run through everything?
I was also planning on double Angelic Rings + Amu so I can get huge AR and not miss a lot - was thinking Frenzy over Conc so I can leech from Life Tap more reliably?

I don't have Stormlash ofc, was thinking Kingslayer + upgraded Rixots with WSM ^^

I have most of the reasonably findable uniques like Dracs, TG, Gores, Goblin Toe etc. Most likely Kiras as Helmet for res and cnbf. So I basically just have boots + weapon for CB. Probably using Gtoe over Gores cause I got OW from Dracs already.

I also just found a video of Xtimus clearing uber trist with Azurewrath + Lightsabre so now I'm thinking 2x unupgraded Rixots should do the job ^^

You just need high enough res from gear like treachery prebuff and dracs. Any cb is helpful but even gores/goblins is sufficient. You should never die with life tap so it's a matter of improving clear speed.
Weapons that are viable and won't be too hard to get include,
black
Heavens light
Fleshripper
Kingslayer is mid-higher end weapon
Eventually you

Would get things like stormlash, eDeath and grief provided you playing ladder or ladder enabled offline.

Offhand weapon such as black and gear like Guillaume, gores/goblins, maybe even duress armour will be more than sufficient to deal with the ubers. Your biggest hindrance will be doing sufficient damage without grief not so much from lack of crushing blow.

I'm not looking for clear speed at the moment, just for safety and easy to get items. I'm considering 2x upped Butcher's Pupil or 2x Baranar's Star, would that work? Also I'm planning to level to 85-90.

Kiras
Duress
Angelic Amulet
Angelic Ring x2
Dracs
TG
Gores

I would cap against Meph using Charms etc. or at least almost. Also got Anni today, but just 10res.


Merc I'm consideringg A1 with Insight for Mana or A5 with Lawbringer for Sanctuary? I heard A1 is very good at surviving.

Edit: Also, is Conc or Frenzy generally considered safer/easier?

Get treachery armor fairly inexpensive runeword (Shael thul lem) . Proc it's buff then swap to duress or w/e you will be invincible.
Make sure off hand weapon is black the main weapon can be whatever
