Portal Barb - Topic

??? there are all kinds of videos already on youtube of people abusing portal barb but sure if you need YET ANOTHER clip of just how busted this is, lets say vs P8 baal run, just look
you can see just how disjointed the portal deathbox became by the end of listers wave, was probably killing stuff on the opposite side of throne with that much desync, though i guess it can only kill stuff loaded into the map 3 screen radius

And yes I'm using the 2x branch + 2x sling setup so its only level 10 portal
Would still be pretty nice to get the portal gfx from chronicle but that's wishful this early

Not sure yet what is optimal to run...
Sunder hunting is a good use
Fastest uber runs also, but too bad it does not give extra torches, makes me wish UT lvling was still a thing haha
I've seen a couple bots running portal barbs for public baal runs, but even if the mobs instantly vanish and leave extra drops, the delay between each wave is preventing the portal barb from really shining here... no hydra spawn at least

To get 200fcr AND highest lvl portals, I use this:
2x sling ring
enigma
2x suicide branch
arach
hellwarden + 20fcr amy (or griff + 15fcr amy)
mage/trang
anni
battle command
= lvl 10 portal (~20 yards void)

I've seen many people post about using 1 soj instead of a 2nd sling ring... won't work, can't reach 200fcr to glitch the portals without the 2nd sling ring.
I guess we should rename this build to Double Sling Barb instead of Portal Barb, just to avoid confusion.

this is optimal but the prices of suicide branch are starting to climb.
