I thought amp dmg and death ward don’t stack? Grim ward does -120 physical res, amp only does 100. Annoying to use I suppose but it’s what I’ve been doing on my barb



This isnt a thing at all in classic. Since no phys immunes...

You are casting grim wards?

How is that working?

Ive enjoyed classic the last few years ww'ing with barbs using all from lances to executioners swords and what not.

Had hoped with this dlc I could play barb.

But it seems no big changes?


too busy with warlock....wait for updates for others

also barbs shouldn't run 2x griefs? for what build?

2 grief is still bis

but i prefer 1 grief + azurewarth. The dmg vs undeads and ghosts etc. is insane.

Also worth to mention is death cb + azure, imo its a bit faster on p1-p3. But you need 80%ias for the max breakpoint. (coa 2xias, HL, Nosrefatus and gloves).


rest of weapons are miles behind, unfortunately.

2 handers have all 5fpa (beside swords).



For merc eth reapers and might beat the new sword by a mile

As the merc is fucking retarded i would still use pride a2 merc
