Was wondering if you could make an ik barb efficient in running trav in 3-5 player games

With no spending much to anything on invent

Anyone have experience with barbs that can help me?

Any tips or tricks would really help me thank you!

Never really used IK before

Only ever made frenzy barbs

It's not great, but it's doable. The main issue is the +freeze from the set -- from my experience you're going to shatter all of the trav members except for the three super uniques. I think I would only do this if I was on HC and really needed the defensive stats from the IK set.

Trav barbs are going to be much more efficient on p1 since find item doesn't care about player count.

For the same budget I would probably run oath + rhyme on a berzerker instead.

And, if you're on D2R, IK set can no longer hit the max 4PA ww breakpoint.

not using laying of hands loses a lot of damage
the cold dmg shatters bodies so you cant hork
