Going to trav is for gold find barbs, not mf barbs. MF horks do pit runs. Need to have a better idea of how you want to use the char before it will make sense what gear you want to use.


not rly, i know that gold find barb is good in trav, but always i have more than enough gold to gamble, and the chance to get something good is like finding a tyraels might in first day of ladder.Also im trying to create a barb that can destroy trav while watching yt with no worry of dying

16 open slots for inventory leaves 18 7mfcs with a 40mf gheeds, torch and anni, so 166mf from inventory
level 90 char is 90mf from enigma and 30 from goldwrap, so 120 from your base gear

320 goal = 34 mf remaining

Put on a 40mf ik helm and you hit your mf gear

still have ammy, 2 rings, gloves and weps to figure out how much you can tank.

unless you are spending for 7mf/5 all res scs, you'll need some res from gear, fade from last wish helps there, also gives life tap so that you can use chancies for gloves or you can use cb gloves if you want more damage instead of using dracs for tap. really dealers choice for how you balance damage with surviving once you meet your mf goals.

Ok then lests start :

First we need to see what merc(yes i know is not needed one, but i stiil would like a aurabot) and waht gear, so we can then choose what weapons i can use(for example if merc has last wish , or i wear one)

My thinking is A5 one,,still contemplating what gear to keep him alive also if he should use last wish or should i

I use a1 merc with faith, get fanta and inner sight, but I use frenzy in a goldfind barb build. I use merc as support to attempt to get as many lost shots with my gf gear as possible. If you are just focused on clear speed in general, it goes back to your gear for what auras you need from merc. Not having a lw on yourself has an impact on res, which will force your inventory to get res/mf charms and takes away your ability to use 3/xx/7s, which again lowers kill speed. nothing hurts kill speed more than death/chickening so you need res somehow.

I understand, but what about someone suggested here in thread?

All for a ww build

A5 Last Wish+X(merc can get fade proc, als can proc life tap+might aura)..not decided on other parts of gear tho

Then i can use a zerker grief +ebotd zerker( i dont know if pb is better in both).This way i have ml, ll and dmg, so i can focus on for example on a dwarf star for the fire absorb and a rare ring that is cheaper if onli has like res and no ll or ml on them(as i have ebotd from where i get that)

And in case of emergency i can swap an shaco with an arreats for more res.As soon as i put my daughter to sleep, i will put a maxroll link with my idea

A5 merc with grief + lw(fade only applies to merc though), andy and fort is viable or faith A1 merc with andy and fort

I was thinking something like this
https://maxroll.gg/d2/d2planner/bh53j0ne

But i still have doubts if to use Lw as it has cold dmg also slain monsters rest in peace, and i can lose horking bodies,Not decided on the ring tho yet


Also after so many days i realised what an idiot i am , believed i posted this in d2r
