There are so many Baal games going now on ladder that usually there is about 2-3 people per game. I thought that's perfect for Travi running and while my Zealot does fairly well, he doesn't have the almighty Find Item. Which is why I want to make a Barb Travi runner but I am new to playing Barbs so I need some help.
Obviously Find Item and BO would be maxed, I assume that means I will have to go WW along with the weapon mastery. The rest? Maybe Berserk for the occassionally PI one? Or Shout? Iron Skin? Nat Resists?
As for equipment, would an IK barb be able to do the job? I recently found a 299% Ribcracker so maybe up'ed and shael'ed would do the job? And perhaps I suppose I have enough currency to trade for Zod and make a Botd in the eth Ghost Spear I have lying around? Opinions?
The rest of the gear should be Highlords, Dwarf Star, Raven and if not IK Gores, Arreats, Dungo, Armor?
Any help is greatly appreciated.|||IK can definitely do it stably and steadily, however it doesnt quite have the oomph, the full muscle of the big guns like oath and upwards runewords, or even a top ribby|||WW cannot cast lifetap what make Tranvi runs very hard,|||An IK barb can do it fine. However, the cold damage on the set bonus makes it non-ideal as cold damage leads to shattered corpses, which is fewer find item horks. Also, skip the Ravenfrost. When you are chilled you actually end up doing more damage in WW.|||OK, I leveled my barb and got him an IK to get a feel of how it is going before investing in better gear and it all went fine until the Council had mana burn (which happens a lot). Then I get burnt and have no mana to WW and get pounded heavily while I do normal attacks in order to leech some mana. Then I get burnt again and again and spend more time normal attacking than WW-ing. Any solution to this problem?|||You won't stop whirling if they hit you while you're mid-whirl, so just always keep moving. Always start whirling before you get to them and keep doing it until you're just past the pack, so that when you turn around you don't get hit. If you're unlucky and they hit you just as you're stopping, pop a mana pot, use war cry twice and whirl away. It also helps to keep to the periphery rather than go straight through them.
BTW: 299ED Shaeled upped Ribby with that other equipment is going to blow full IK away. Just drop Arreat's for Guillaume's Face for maximum pwnage and style. You'll also want a mana leech ring and Laying of Hands. Gloom and Smoke are both nice.|||Thanks for advice! I guess I am just not very good at playing WW barb. Gotta try your tricks and see how it goes.
Edit: Ribby is gonna be good even though there is no staff mastery?|||As same as the Mace-Mastery ^^
Edit - Cheap EBotD BZ + 5 OS Rune Master = Kick @$$ in Hell Trav
Merc. for the Upped Eth Hone Sudan!
Edit II
IK - Lems *GF/IF* or Sols *Overall* & Shaels for the WPN
Just use the forums' WW guide with it
Even U-Diablo should be very quick *Tri-WW*
P-Event is a little difficult/long without the Nature's Peace
*Battle Cry is a little handy!*|||Quote:

what runes do u put on the 5os rune master?|||a comination of 15/40s, zod, Lo, ohms depending on situation would be damage optimal, but the thing is, it is not much spoken about for good reason. The numbers just dont fill up, the damage just isnt there compared to grief/death
