- Guilli ” 15 Ias / 40% ED ”

- Death Eth Decapitator

- Enigma

- LoH

- Arach

- WT’s

- HL

- Raven

- Fcr ring

- 2 x Hoto switch for teleport and howl

Act 1 Merc with Faith + Forty + Andy

As side notes :

” Berserk completely converts damage to magic damage so you cannot steal life/mana with Berserk, even with life tap. ”

” For the stated duration afterwards your defense is zero. You also do not receive the Iron Skin or Dexterity bonus. You can still block as if you are using a shield, however. A defense of 0 will let you block all the time, thus quite often hinder you from doing anything else. Consider not wearing a shield. ”

How to play : Cast Battle Command + Battle Orders and Shout with Hoto, Teleport with hotos to place where ever you like, cast Howl with Hotos and switch to Decapitator ( yes, that big one :drool: ), swing your axe with Berserker skill till all uniques / bosses are dead, switch back to Hotos and Teleport forward, repeat till run is done.

GL & HF !

e: Don’t forgot to HORK corpses !!!!

makes sense for p8 but I'd use any higher range death base over decap

cham gulli and replace raven with something else too

Only higher range 2h axe is glorious axe which would probably be worth it since average dmg is very close and wsm is the same.

I always ran grief pb with Pheonix Mon. I never found blocking interrupted my zerks and was hitting 5k displayed dmg with zerk. The + max res, block and redemption makes you tanky af, have max ias bp, 37 fcr for tele and you can heal even off undead and ghosts due to redemption.


shit, I just assumed either cb or cs had range 3. turns out I was wrong

we need a damage compairson between botd war pike and death decap or glorious.

you can't hork with a phoenix/grief and it's not going to 1 shot as good as the 2 handers but dps might be comparable. shield will help survivability a lot too.

id want warcry with at least a 3 second stun for an option.

for the ultimate berserker barb i think you need use the swap no war cry weapons

so why fcr? aren't the 2 hotos enough? wouldn't you want to go 2 ravenfrosts with a phoenix? if you don't want to hork the ar for bosses and champs would be better. 20 dex for more block chance too.
