Hey all, I'll be running two different WTs at once on two different PCs at two different locations. Here's my second!

Haku - Frenzy Barbarian

Goals:
-Complete Hell
-GG weapon like Grief/eDeath etc
-Arreat's
-If I get enough AR, Dclone or uber Tristram

Rules:
-P8 Hardcore
-P1 reruns for countess, P3 and higher for boss reruns
-Extended stash with a maximum of 4 stash tabs. 1 per difficulty completed

So let's go!




Saved the old man. Double swing melts through everything like butter, even on P8.

I would like you guys' opinion on something, though... What should I do about weapon masteries at the start? Should I just avoid putting anything into them until I find a weapon I know I'll be using for a while? Like Butcher's Pupil or Headstriker? Or should I put 1 point into each and leave it at that? Should I start feeding points into a mastery right now and force myself to use that weapon type?

If I did that I’d probably do sword mastery since most of the best end game RWs are based in swords. I was just kind of seeing what you guys typically do or what the best strategy is

Also what would you guys suggest for extra points? Should I go full out damage with Frenzy/DT synergies or should I put some points into battle cry/war cry? Some guides only say 1 point in BO but I think I will max it since this is HC

Frenzy
BO
Double Swing
Max those three first. That’s at least what I did.
By then I decided which mastery I wanted to do, which was axes since I found a butchers pupil.

I later respected to sword with a lightsabre and oath with the hope that I’ll eventuslly get a grief.

End game skill points are imo
Frenzy
BO
Double Swing
Chosen Mastery
Natural Resistance pending gear
Rest into shout

Andariel Down. I have a nice map so I'll be running her until I can get Hsarus' belt+boots


There's the belt


And the boots. Forgot to SS on ground so screen'd them equipped. Loving the AR boost

Moving on... Down goes Duriel


The High Council was easy


Mephisto quest kill. Going to be running him until I can get a source of CB... crushflange or goblin toe maybe. Some Sigon pieces would be nice.
