Berserk already has a huge ed.
Potting Mana isn't great. Might be a matter of taste

I feel there is alot of ways to build a berserk barbarian..

Some go 2hand some go shield, some others dual swords

I think as long the barb can reach stats for hell and just grind & farm the most important is to have fun too.

I'll go with grief+spirit sword for fcr/fhr (63/86) breakpoints and alibaba on switch.

Also, I tested act1 merc and holy nuts inner sight makes u always hit the mobs in hell @_@

On planner, using faith act1 merc boost AR from 5k to 13k (with inner sight active)

WTF ... oh dang I need more mana because using Berserk is a Mana Guzzling skill ... WTF. damn, how about just having Pheonix on switch to use Redemption aura to solve that problem... OH W8, I ALREADY HAVE IT ON MAIN ... do you even read, before posting, how about coming up with other ideas like I just did in this paragraph... use Pheonix on switch if any mana issues arise.

Look, I like your insight, your need to help out... it is great, but can you just research a little bit more... how long have you been playing D2? How much history do you know about the game and mechanics and updates compared to how easy D2:R is compared to what it was like in 2006 (earlier or later)?

Damn, you don't even have Iron Maiden curse in Act 4 (Chaos) anymore because of whining little babies crying over insta deaths for 99% melee builds or the Council member Fire explosion / amp / corpse detonation that killed off people within the radius when you killed him off... some fire enchanted council member and was only safer to kill with ranged attacks or you just die.

Dang, I miss those days, it made the game wild and interesting, you had to take notice, now you just rock n roll in without a care... may as well walk across the street without looking first.

What's your runtime for pitruns? There is No Time for phoenix because you only kill the uniques and Champions, not even the Minions.

Oh my freaking gosh... now Pit Runs and time... WTF you want a competition on what a Berserker Barb can do, complete with the most drops horcking as well???

Here is a Cue... Howl = scares away ALL normal monsters... so, you can identify EVERY champion + monster in the area, so you KILL it, horck the body for double the drops then tele to next wave (oh w8, Super Mana potion... no need for Full Juv, that is just a fucking waste since Mana pot is still in action as you tele along). OH... in pit level 1, killed 5+ Champs etc before entering pit level 2 for another 4 or 5 champ + in a small condensed space... wow... OH W8 FOR IT... I don't use MAPHACK, my run is so much fucking slower than YOURS, you are a god, you use Maphack and can insta find Pits from WP etc fucking etc.

WTF... pit runs, you should have used Nihlathok runs WITHOUT using MH because there are only 3 ways to get to next level.

Kill Pindle.
Enter, tele up (North) to see if stairs are there, if not, directly go South and see if stairs are their, if not, then tele West (left) of here and this will be the stairs down to next level.... repeat for next level ... YAY... no need to use Maphack... Skull on walls indicate location of Nihlathok, personally Howl / Walk instead of tele'ing, just in case of vipers and dolls... also, vipers spit, you can stand skill and not take extra damage, PDR does work, but running in is bad, tele back it good, let them come to you.

So, you want to question me more? And I am being honest, I never use Maphack, my run speed can be slow because of that, but if you want to challenge in speed ... yeah, do it with Nihlathock and your build and see how far you get before a death.

Oh, there are other things you may not know about the game without using hacks, maybe I will teach you some of them



EDIT: Tower... pass the dutchie to the left hand side (this is actually a song about smoking weed and passing the joint)

What's your pitruns time?

faster than your reply.

Out of interest why is Stormshield not a good idea? Because the blocking frames interrupting attacks/tele?

Curious as I ran Grief/Stormshield on a hardcore telezerker, mainly for safety in CS.

It probbly works for general play, but for the howl+take only champs n boss monster technique, it's not optimal.

Why are people even talking about Phoenix at all?
Wouldn’t redemption be taking his corpses from goldfind?
Grief + lawbringer would be best imo.
