when using death CB bis imo is coa with 2 15/40s


Death cb is pretty bad its way to slow
Even if you ww with death you would need beast

My fav setup is deathz and beastz with arreat but thats not the point here
Coa is a pvp helm imo its a terrible pvm helm nothing crazy

The answer is gface
Nothing else matters

Get fcr on dual hoto on swap, eventually fcr belt and rings

Gface highlord loh grief
This should not change, it's the secret to be good at barbing


i pretty much follow this build.
https://maxroll.gg/d2/guides/berserk-barbarian
the main issue is, i took too much dmg, and without leech as i main berserk.

i am thinking to use your recommendation, gface, highlord, but instead of loh, may be horazon gloves and boots, so i still can get cbf.
can also use stormsheild to make it more durable

Hmmm if your problem is survivability you can still use either stormshield or wizardspike off hand

Dual horazon is really good but believe me loh is best in slot gloves

Boots are nice, i personnally like to Cham my gface and use gore but yeah horazon boots are really cool

Gear should look like

Cham gface (or um if you need res and you use the horazon boots)
Enigma
Grief pb
Highlord
Anything you like offhand / survivability / 6x ist or 6x lem swords...
Loh
Rings are here for either mf / gold / life / mana / res
If you do only trav i can recommend 2x dwarf
Arach / string of ears
Gore / horazon (see helm)


Also if you play a berserker barb you usually do not fight unless you do trav
You only teleport from pack to pack, howl everything away kill the boss, hork, repeat
Howl is the best defensive spell that exists

If you want to clear densities then berserk barb is the worst choice

Oh yeah grim ward is awesome for singer
But a berserk barb usually one shot everything
Can be very useful for herald though

Anyway 20 find potions is a must then 5 find items and 1 grim ward

Yessir, I run a ww barb through Tz mostly this season not the fastest but it works great tz96 p8, always slap a grim down on big packs too huge dmg difference and huge for heralds. Using the bash barb with amp sword dreadfang also helps a lot of the time

I only zerk when I need to but I’m also going for xp farming.

Not true bro sorry

If you have 80% ias death CB hits as fast as grief pb for ww (4 frames)

80 ias = 30% from coa, 20 loh, 20 HL, 10 goldwrap or nosrefatus

You can then use at least 450-600 strengh, because of DR from helmet and chest. Which is another 400+ ed to comon builds.

Offhand azurwarth

This feels till p4 100% times better and faster then dual grief.

P8 your setup is better

At least for ww. I tested it up and down and this is the fastes way to play ww
