Ss (or whitstan for cheap), max block.

I assume berserk build?


I enjoy upgraded 2 pdiamond mossers. I have killed so many ubers by just slapping that shield on my barbs with max block, just an amazing shield.

Upgrading whitstans also makes it block better too, so that might be the smarter option.

I find it's best to play with a friend
For instance, if you played with an foh pangolin he could kill trav while you be the hooker

biggest change would probably be inferno shoes and dwarf rings to negate the hydra damage

zerk trav leaning more on goldfind:
unbending/oath -> grief
rhyme shield
swap ali baba x2 lem/lem
ik helm lem/lem
wealth armor
loh glove / or can chance guard once you have grief
dwarf star x2
highlords or good rare mf/gf skiller
goldwrap up'd
infernostride

a2 might merc, guardian angel / Kiras (can Ral them for conviction) / Reapers toll (yes reapers has cold dmg if you don't wanna lose 1% of your kills then change it idc)
max zerk, battle orders, blade mastery. find item to 7~ then max find potion.

inventory = gf/warcry gc, resist/gf sc

Me too! <3

Although I switched to mosers only for meph. Other than that I prefer whitstan’s max block (transforms to ~50% when switching to mosers). Both upped, for better defense. You also went concentrate for ubers, right…? Eh, good times… I’ve made most of my fg selling torches with a barb. 98% CB for the win :banana:

Yep, whirlwind barb with 20 point into conc and enough for max block. It's not going to win a race against a smiter but it's very comfortable to play. Don't even need lifetap.

Ww, you say… Interesting. Where did you skip points? Blade mastery? Howl? BO? Natural resist…?

Can’t hold a candle to a smiter, true… Although on a budget, and without a BO barb, and in HC… I still prefer barb to a smiter :)

20 ww
20 conc
20 bo
20 weapon mastery
1 to 3 nat res, depends on level of wealth
1 inc speed
1 battle cry
1 zerk

Usually i grind him as a ww barb dual wield grief til 90something, helps with to hit chance.

If 100% budget then yeah, level as whirlwind, respec to very sturdy conc with extra into howl, nat res, battle cry, etc. Maxing bash I find doesn't add a ton.
