whirlwind pvm barb help

Posted 2004-05-31, 02:49 PM
just a couple of notable questions..keep in mind, i'm PVM. I want to do strong dmg, have an okay BO, and still be able to survive with enough leech. IAS would also be plus but i prefer dmg:
1) what should i socket inside my upgraded arreats and ss. Some ppl say um rune. Other say 40ed jewels?
2) is it better to use eth botd cb + ss, or to duel-wield 2x eth botd cb's?
3) might merc? holy freeze?
4) should i go for all warcry charms, masteries charms, or a mix of both?
5) strength/dex pts - enough to wear items, then the rest in vita?
6) should i have a second attack besides ww (ex: for bosses or physical immune)
7) max iron skin?
8) could sum1 also post a basic skill distribution

thanks!

i say eth botd and ss

and if u dont have max resist then put a um, but if u have near max just get some charms or upgrade natural resist,

i say might merc,

i say mix of both charms,

str-enough for items, dex-enough for max block,

other attack get berserk(verystrong and good for physical immune),

from what i heard dont max iron skin max shout

max ww,bo,sword mastery, then some into berserk and max shout and the rest just some points into iron skin, fast run walk, and natural resistance, with the +skills from items they should be decent

15 points into sword mastery is just as good, so i would put 10 points into it, maxed everything u need to max out and then later put as many points as u want into it.

supa if i was ever going to make a barb i would use 2 different weapons one would be an ETH BOTD ZERKER and the other would be a DOOM ZERKER AXE just cuz this way u always have holy freeze even if merc dies, they do sweet dmg and also well it frees it up so u can get a might merc and add like 1k+ to your attacks. just my thoughts but ya, go w/ a DOOM ZERKER and a ETH BOTD ZERKER for good results ....wat everyone else think?

ok..i traded my 5x soj for perfect eth botd cb...so i guess i'm using that for now. i still don't know if i should dual-wield 2x cb's or go w/ the sword/shield combo. this guy is basically going to be for baal running. oh ya..for the boots..should i got upgraded gores or eth storm treks?

i agree with koolio here lol ETH BOTD ZERKER is better then ETH BOTD its one handed so u can use ss without losing damage

i feel its better then ETHBOTD ne oen agree?

ok..this is what i've got so far. at lvl 79..i have 8 skill pts and 35 chr pts unused.
sword mastery, BO, WW: 20
everything else has only one point in it.
now, i want to be able to take out bosses too. Should i now max berserk or go 1/2 and 1/2 in conc.
Also, my items are currently: 398 botd cb eth. perfect upgraded arreats w/ 40ed jewel, 7/6 vampbraces, 2x 5% bk, verdungos, eth stormtrek, stormshield (still don't know what to put in it since my resists are all 75), 26% maras. and my charms are 1/2 masteries and 1/2 combat.
My might merc is using: bramble archon plate and ethreal gaze. I'm not sure what weapon to put on him. Eth DOOM crpytic axe or dual amn eth bonenew (295% ed)..bonehew is good cuz of the leech and nice dmg. DOOM adds the holy freeze. But i'm not too sure if having holy freeze along with thorns is a good idea. because then thorns will not have a good effect. the idea of thorns is for ppl to hit you, they barely hit the merc if you have holy freeze on.
