hi guys! back in 1.09 i used to play softcore pvp and pvm barbs almost exclusively, but when 1.10 came i nerdraged and quit the game for a while. i have come back from time to time over the years, and am currently playing now, but i play hardcore only nowadays.
with the changes to hell creatures, and obviously the inherent need for safety required to play hardcore, i was wondering what sort of barb would suit best, as i would like to jump in to a character that i used to enjoy very much, but seem to have avoided now for years.
i used to play sword WW barbs, generally using gear like shaft/storm/string and a weapon plus the rest, and sometimes having a 2x weapon switch.
this was back when the dr cap was 75%.
anyway, im worried now that a sword barb using sword/shield exclusively (the max block being a requirement in hardcore i feel) wont do enough damage... although, with runewords that increase damage, maybe the character would do enough damage? although, what type of weapon would you use? ebotd, last wish or grief pb seemed to be the major contenders, though the last wish was just there for a (2nd) source of life tap...
anyway... i know i can make a barb 'survive' in hell hardcore, but can you make a sword WW barb kill anything?(would be nice if he could be used for ubers, or at least some mf running of some sort).
also, are there any fun ways of building a ww barb now? (for instance i know theres some runewords that let you change into a bear/wolf or stuff like that)
