as topic says . im a lover of barb builds and i most like playing zerk and have been trying zerk/ww this season tho now at the end of the season im looking in to it with more attention to stuff for next season.

build is your typical zerk build. grief/nigma/ss/arreats/bloodfist/gores/rfrost/duel leech ring with dex
also have torch / anni / and few max/ar/life charms , nothing fancy nothing epensive. i did notice my hitrate on bosses being wack as in p8 im running 80% hitrate on bosses wich suck so im trying to fix this a bit.
i have 20 points in sword mastery as im running pb

yet when i look at my ar im hitting 15k ar / 84% hitrate atm
if i use a 2nd rfrost + demon limb enchant it boosts it up to 21,7k ar/ 88%

is there something im missing / could change / upgrade to hit 90-95% hit to speed up my boss runs since it feels like im missing way too much

any advice/tips/help etc is welcome and not overlooked

Honestly 15k ar is already really high on barb.

Theoretically you could stat dex for more ar without changing gear, but you'd be better off with either str or vit.

You should 100% change bloodfists to loh btw.

im at 200 ish dex with all stat adders to wear everything and max block
for some reason i always like bloodfists more but ya i should get a pair of loh i just like the 30 fhr on fists instead of having to invest too much in fhr charms etc

Char level starts to affect hitchance more than a.r. after a certain point

You could always use a weapon that allowed for the rune that gives 100% hit rate to monsters? Prolly lose dmg however

hehehe ya i dont wanna lose dmg indeed. was mostly just looking if im missing something of forgetting something. next season is around the corner and i'll remake him again the same but i'll start focussing more on max/ar/life charms this time as i didnt too much. just hit lv93 and overal hitrate atm vs monster/bosses is around 89/84%

level up. try angelic amulet + 1 ring. it'll definitely give you more ar, just depends if the tradeoff is worth it

most likely not but ya the lvl up makes sense and im also not dabbling in perf item / charms etc so i could prolly bump up some dex here and there or get some propper jewels etc. been testing it a lot recently and i am still hovering around 87-90% hitrate wich is more then i thought it was cuz i miss so often or it just looks like it
