Looking to endure pain in my life. I want to push 99 with a barb. Any suggested build to make the final push from 96 to 99...

Debating from singer, throw, full support mode... would like some advice on builds

Look at this:

Made me interesting to make one but in singleplayer it would take a lot of time to find the two eth weapons.

Thanks Gant! It does look awesome... does eth weapons actually get destroyed from the melee hits?

Embrace the fact that barb has 0 damage in 8p game
Become a dual hoto tele+bo machine that stuns wave 3 in baals for optimal runs. Only do baal+dia+tombs with a decent group. Level another char while waiting for good TZs

Berserk barb, tele, howl, berserk & support... also horcker. however not built for Dclone or Ubers... or you can build an alternate hybrid like WW 1 base Berserk.

Optional thinking to the play style you like or derive to play it.

If you can find a friend to team up with where that friend is a javazon/telesorc/assa who can kill Baal and Diablo in 1-2 hits, you can be a Berserk barb and focus only on killing seal bosses + top 2 Diablo then top 2 Baal (your friend does Baal runs while you clear CS solo).

This will be the most effective way to reach 99 and has been done many times. Berserk barbs are great because they can Howl and focus on seal bosses. Fast runs.

Thanks everyone! I was leaning on singer but now that is a dead dream.. just seems like it is a fun niche but not really efficient. pwb3 - so just soloing 8p chaos boses is a decent way to grind and push 99? and then hit up good tz zones when they are up? Or just go straight support haha...stun wave 3 life

would you suggest this chaos prep build?

I’d go with this guide.

Hey

Hey Pwb3 - would you make any adjustments to this build now or does all the 312 suggested seem to still be true to this day! I really like the idea of this build!
