What build and gear are you using? I’m thinking once I find the gear I wanna convert my barb to a warcry barb and let my merc do the killing

See below. Let me know if you have any other questions.


Here is a video of my current gear/setup.
With my build I am only running pits on /players 1.

Goals:
Maximize MF
Keep 105% FCR on main weapon

I didn't show all my charms, but they are all 7MF SCs except for ~4x which are still 6MF SCs (lame)

Things I have learned while playing this character that help explain the build/gear.

Warcry damage really doesn't matter that much. The only time your Merc doesn't 1 or 2 shot a creature is when the creature is stone skin or stone skin + mods.

As long as you have +9 to skills in total, you will have the best breakpoint on Find Item you can get unless you are stack +13 skills to get 1% more find item (my build won't do that, but you can alter your gear to get there). Even if I wear a 2barb amulet and suicide branch, I still cannot reach that BP.

Since WC damage doesnt matter very much and I have plenty of life (and mana based on my stat point allocation/gear) then I don't care very much about +skills on my amulet, hence the weird sorc amulet. I only really care about FCR/MF. I need 15% FCR on an amulet to reach the 105 breakpoint with my current setup.

If you are making a pit singer the skills you must max (in my opinion) are:
Howl
Find Item
Find Potion (synergy to find item now)

1 point wonders are:
Nat Resist
Inc speed

Optional max are:
BO
Warcry
Battle Cry
Warcry synergies

I could go on, but I think this is a good amount of information about my build/setup/thoughts.

Feel free to ask questions, theorize, etc... discussion on the build is always fun :D

Thanks :)




I think it was about 4K - 5k runs. Estimates are about 800 runs per Sur. Sometimes it’s less and sometimes it’s more.

Nice, I’m on hc as well and currently using zerk. I need to upgrade my pc as my load times are pretty bad, as such I’ve been running more than pits. To maximize in game time, plus it’s more fun for me.

Been running maus, pits, Stoney tomb, arach lair, threshsocket or w.e his name is and pindle. I’ve also been running countess, summoner and nith for keys. My pally is lvl 53 in nm a4. Soon I plan to start doing ubers and dclone with him.

Anyways with the what I’m running atleast, especially as a zerker, I’ve needed much more tankyness/survivability. Maybe with warcry stun and only doing pits it’s easier. But I tried to go max mf but it was super sketch. Had to sacrifice a lot of mf for tankiness. Currently using um’d stormsheild with 50% block. And res sc’s to max my res, a lot of life sc’s. I’m only lvl 83 tho, and not using ideal gear yet.
