Singer Barb?

Whats the most damage any1 ever been able to pull out of this 1?



Im hearing lows 1000's|||That's about right. You can play around with it on the skill calc.|||2023 - 2070 personally could probably pump that up for the expense of alot of mana|||+3 Warcries/+3 War Cry Magic Barb Pelt

Any +2 Armor

'Heart of the Oak' x2

Arachnid Mesh

Sounding Amulet

Any +1 Ring x2

Annihilus, Torch, 9x Sounding

Battle Command

War Cry: 2208 - 2254, 63 Mana Cost

It's not ideal, the mana cost is way too high. 1000-1500 is a comfortable level for PvM.|||Quote:

Don't quite argee here. This is one of those "don't put a single point in energy, energy is the devil" reasonings . If you get a good mana regen rate, and invest some in mana, you can get a barb to regen that much. I'll give the numbers a spin when I get home and can access the arreat summit for the damn formula (I'm at work behind a firewall that blocks half the net - the juicy part ). I've done the math for infinicasting teleport, fireball, charge, CE,... and all of those have infinicast possibilities. And with the high lvl BO you'll get with this char I think it's fairly easily acchievable.|||Quote:

Yeah, I'll be interested in seeing a good set-up that centralizes around max damage too. Just how much energy are we talking about here though? 1 point of energy gives 1 point of mana to a Barbarian, with BO at 180%, 50% from SoJ, and 5% from Arachnid, that's a 235% boost to mana, so 200 points in energy would give you ~700 mana (would have been ~2400 life), which is around only 11 casts of War Cry. |||Quote:

hmm i solved my short mana prob by throwing few Serpent's SC but if you stuff your inventory full of charms like that your total dmg would suffer |||My current ladder Singer uses a different set up and finishes at level 94.

Skills

20 Warcry plus synergies

20 Battle orders

1 Battle Command

1 Iron skin

1 Natural Resists

1 Leap

Gear

2 20 barb (cost me lem) no other stats to note socketed perfect sapphire

Enigma Mage Plate

Arachnid mesh

3 warcrys 10 FCR amulet

2x soj

Frostburns

Silkweaves

Now I have In my possession 2x Hotos for bo switch and occasional use but these proved the worst possible weapons for PvP and PvM. Now Wizardspike seems like the only option but to be honest. Wizardspike still doesnt cut it because Mana based on character level isn't effected by bo which is a waste.

The best possible set up in my opinion is 1x spirit and 1x wizardspike with the richer people moving onto the dual spirits for the mass mana 2 all skills and huge FHR. Spirits only weakness is the resists and if you can make that up elsewhere Spirit is the better choice.

Now in top end gear 1 point in natural resists can provide 60+ all resistance with 1 point in it.

Quick basic calculation

60 Natural resists

75 wizardspike

30 anya(temp)

20 Torch+anni

185

My current singer stats are

110 FCR

86 FHR

6.5k Health

1.7k mana

50 all resists in hell

1931 - 1977 Warcry damage.

I need a much better circlet to safely lose the second wizard spike its kinda risky running around with 2x spirit.

Reason for leap is for mostly for PvP to stun sorcs a little to make the initial warcry easier to land.

With my Ideal Circlet/Tiara and some more mana charms I think I could creep into the 2.6k mark without a sacrifice in damage.|||i did testrun the build with almost(no barb helm) perfect gear.



Realistically though, it would be better to have one of the weapons as beast, and reaper/botd merc weapon(or use brand bow on a low defense setup) as merc is the main damage source, lol.
