Weelll it's like, what kind of style do you like? I've always sayd, you can use whatever you like, you just gotta know what styl you like , like, youo wanna lett the merc do the work? ^^ that rhymes... or you wanna help out? Let the merc take the beack seat? Or amiddle role? Be abel to halp out, but sitll maybe retain a higher mf/gf pearcent?

You must know all this. You play hardcore? That puts a newa ngle on everything. I play hardcore. N you can go high mf/gf%, but it means leatting merc do so much work, n he dies easy, you gotta know it all n play wright.

What do you want to do? Do yo play travi, or just general play?

Tell us your story n your ambitions.

That is the gear, what is the build?

Frenzy / Berserk / Conc vs 1 base point leaper?


Mine is Berserk barb, and I would adjust Cham Shako and use a Raven Frost Ring for CBF, Highlords to a Tele charge ammy and Enigma for Fortitiude as an example.. still ensuring FCR BPs and never using 2x wizzy's on switch, Hoto / Spirit (if I remember correctly) or is it CtA / Spirit ... been forever.

berserk barb, 1 base Conc, 1 base Leap & as much +X Skill items available etc for BO, BC, Howl etc. Full out kill barb that horcks with ease.

Look, a Berserker kills basically in 1 hit, what is your issue with Ravenfrost mods... Dex / AR that adds more Vitality to your Build if yo equip PB Grief and AR to actually hit and kill off the monster you are attacking just because there is a 0.00001% chance the monster shatters and you can not Horck the body... well for your information, in normal difficulty it would be a problem because they will shatter 99% of the tiem, however, there are a ton of monsters that are Unique, Champion + that will NEVER shatter in Hell difficulty... get to learn about those monsters resistences and the somewhat cold damage of a Ravenfrost ring when dealing MAGICAL DAMAGE AND not ELEMENTAL DAMAGE.

Great advice though, you just need to research Berserk Skill a bit more... Physical (PHYSICAL) damage is converted int MAGICAL DAMAGE... the minor +1to5 cold damage is pittance.

What's wrong with my build? I'm currently running the same as planner but not max. I just wanted to know if there are any other berserker barbs around to give me feedback

Also, since I linked the planner I worked on another setup that should be my next upgrade.. of course not all stats maxed out but here.

Had to edit aswell.

What is this "planner"? I don't play D2:R... I sent you a reply to your PM, also I stated that my old 2009 Berserker barb (DemonBasher) had mistakes revolving around echoing knives that can NOT be gambled or purchased.

I also stated what / why builds were created after that and Blizzard made the game easier by removing Iron Maiden curse in Act 4 Chaos where every melee build could die by suicide and Berserk is magical damage and could NOT die (explained differently in PM).

Just look at my profile... Demonbasher guide... it is old, and yes it has mistakes, HOWEVER, if you follow the synergies, you have a brain to work it out for yourself.
