Do you guys prefer wizspike or suicide branch, the @res from wizspike means you can focus entirely on 20 life 17 mana SC but the + skills from branch helps with leap cc. I'm not sure which to go with.

on my budget portal barb i am running 1 wizspike and 1 suicide branch in the off hand actually. great question +1 rep. its key to hit the fcr breakpoints. i am debating on 2x wizspike since we dont need mana for portal barb

Thank you! I need to do some testing. I've done a few runs with the new horazon boots and I feel like they're also a huge game changer due to having frw and cannot be frozen, nowhere near as impactful as the sling ring tho. I feel like war travs are better once you have full gg gear tho as you kill everything before it even has a chance to freeze you

I personally think it's better to run full FRW charms so you can get to the waypoint to start TPing faster

Honestly Harmony swap might actually be BIS for Portal Barb.
