Requirements:
- kill most t5 herolds on p8 on its own
- hoark them with 70%+ chance
- high survivability
- no teleport or fcr needed!
- as much mf as possible without loosing dmg or survivability
- either ww or berserk

The barb is played in a p8 group, who always opens a tp when a herold spawns right next to it.

Iam happy to hear your suggestions for gear/skills. Iam not really sure how to build it.

If you want help with a specific barb build, it would be easier to assist you if you say what build you want help with

Oh, iam sorry! I mean mainly what items i should use and if whirlwind or berserk is better. So far i used Berserk with a "Travzerker" build, but its too weak against t5 p8 herolds. Mostly lacks of survivability. So i thought about stormshield etc. Maybe anyone has built a barb for those aims too and can share the items/skills he/she uses.

Yeah but the way you described it the first time is that it’s a BO barb that you want to pop down and hork with…
If that’s the case, just kill with lock and then hork as full mf…

Personally I run a zerker on hardcore, but with SS+shako(45dr) and 5k hp, I’m getting smash by p5 herald5’s… I’ll take them on in p1/3 but not higher without help from someone…
The problem is that I can howl and kill the herald, but if I get amp’d I get 3tapped…

Super worth horking the heralds tho
