Hi, I want to do p1 terror zones on my horker/ww barb. That's why I need a good combination of mf and dmg. Also fluid teleport. I am not sure how to do this.

Swap is 2x alibaba (without ists). This gives me around 400mf with hork.

I would like to have fluid tele without having to swap weapons. This is way faster (swapping weapons middle of the fight is clunky to me). How would you do that?

Currently I use (just for travi runs):

2xgrief
arrerat
highlord
enigma
wt
goldwrap
loh
mana leech ring
dwarf

I see there are 39fcr and 63fcr breakpoints that are within reach.
What fcr option do you think is the best for a nice balance of speed, mf, and dmg? I feel like 39fcr is already solid. And it might be the only realisitc option.

I guess we can work with belt, amu, and rings. I tried single grief + wizz but I lose too much dmg. I think this is not an option (or you disagree?).
Arach + 20fcr amu? Maybe 19fcr gheed wager? (but -magic is useless)
2x10fcr rings + arach/amu? which option is better?
I guess it is better to lose goldwrap then highlord.
But I wanted to swap goldwrap with string of ears for surviability (with goldwrap I feel a little bit squishy). Then, what to drop, string or highlord?

We could go for 63fcr with swapping arrerat with rare circ but I would then lose some stats (I cannot afford some crazy circ).

Anyone have nice ww mf setup?
What you do? I guess most people just swap weapons for tele. Does anyone have build that allows for tele without swap?

I use dual hoto on swap. And Arach/ Gheeds wager belt, and 2x fcr rings.


Hit 40 fcr main side and 102 on swap.

Make sure you have cnbf somewhere. I used to Cham helm. But now I use a stone jewel in helm and wear horazon boots.


Also use gface for sure.

Yeah I also use stone in helm. Currently I dont have CNBF and build still destroys travi. Actually it is easier to aim with slowed ww. This barb has too much frw :D I am considering Horizon boots, but then I lose 40mf from WT. So for now prefer to be forozen. Trying to stay around 200-250 pre-swap.

Why u go for 40fcr when you use swap as well?
How much mf you have? Do you hork the packs?

I hork heralds mostly now. When I was doing p1 trav. Just go crazy gf and mf.


I use 40 ias so when I tele between packs I’m fast enough. And use switch for tele to like chaos or Baal or if farming boss. Qol.


For p1, you can kind of use anything once you have dual grief

I see

yeah, my aim is exactly to farm heralds

any problems with suriability against them/in terror zones? what is your default setup? I mean, full eq, do you stack mf or focus more on dmg?

Have like 200 mf. Just under.

Yeah thorns sucks. Full games and t5 heralds are insane haha. Got to howl the mobs away. Most efficient is tele behind warlock and hork their kills tbh.

Trang gloves and arach. Hotos on switch.

My build was pretty similar to yours. Except I'd have RF ring on instead, and an MF/leech ring. Then you can MF socket your helm this way.

The key to the gg barb build is the leech/mf ring. It's probably the hardest part of the build.

You really want gores on though. Even if you have to add the MF with charms instead it's still better to have gores on than travs. You don't want to be taking off any items that have DS or CB ever. Like don't do the FCR amy instead of highlords either.
