Hello out there

i am going for my first "MF Barb" on Ladder...

last time i played a barb, it was like 100 years ago on Computer

so, i got a huge lack of knowledge bout Barb´s...

is there any good advice any1 could give me? like... what is kinda good equipment, what skills for "endgame"? Can i go with a "budget equipment" since i am not thaaat rich?

any advice would be very welcome (also feel free to pm)

Thx so far and good Loot to every1

Grief + Grief both in pb
Guilaume helm

Thats a good start without knowing ur budget.

If ur a berzerk barb i would go grief + stormshield.

Gores best boots, wts if u want more mf
LOH best gloves
Hl best ammu
Eni best armor if u can afford
Strings best belt, unless u make excotic arach build
Raven as 1 ring
DUal leech as other ring.

Optimal barb use 2 x hoto or wiz offhand + 1 fcr dual leech ring + arach for 105fcr switch and 30fcr main.
I would say 30fcr is good to move between mobs on grief side, meanwhile the 105fcr is nice for teleport to chaos or baal etc.. 65 works as well... So if u feel squishy just use that strings belt...

Eth reapers merc to break immunes and to deal more dps. For zerk barb u can consider pride etc... But that eth reapers is still nice. It will slow enemies, merc is strong and it will still boost both u and merc's CB output.
Type of merc is ofc might(act2 nm offensive)

Frenzy
Zerk
Wirl

All work, frenzy and wirl use same eq anyway.
Zerk use same eq with exception of offhand wep... Which should be either beast or shield. Some use 4ist shield, some use 4lem shield, some use stormshield, some use pheonix. Some may evne use a wiz or hoto offhand to boost fcr and res.
