Have been trying this out as a ladder starter and want to extol the value of a hustle main hand before you get rich enough for beast, level 1 fanat means ariocs with amn, tal mask with a 15 ias jewel and Duriels shell gets you 9fpa jabs with 17% life leech, cannot be frozen and fairy strong resists.

I found putting the hustle in a tyrant club worked fairly well, elite base req 133 strength which synergies pretty with with gavel str req, and good for 1 point zerking.

Also meant I could put 1 point in mace mastery and have a 1 point concentrate switch to black and rhyme in case of dclone spawns, no where close to a smite but meant I didn't have to level 2 characters at ladder start.

Trying to decide if the first ber of value should go into coh or swapping hustle for beast to hit 8fpa jabs with an ias jewel added to the Duriels, need to check what dps works out better

Probably sell the Ber

Day 1 of ladder, sell ber, wait a week and buy a ber for 1% of what it sold for

Also wanna say the original is nice with maxing shout ect but maybe a little overkill, found success with leaning more into the singer barb build with gearswaps to caster gear and insight to run pits, pindle, cows ect

Putting probably 25-30 points in wc and synergies, 10-15 in wc and 5-10 in battle cry and howl

Still kinda plays like being player 2 for the merc but I'm not having to moat trick meph at least

Also a pretty solid early nilathak runner

Just adding a post to read profiles. ;-)

Thx for the guide, I'll check out the updates for 2024.
Right now running A5 merc with grief + hustle, forti and cham arreats but too little life leech.

Playing around with a new setup
