Im most likely gonna go with greif as i have pb in stash. I have questions as to if i go the two hand route what will be optimal for that type build and best weapon choices for nonladder PVM. Prob wont be dueling much but maybe against my buddy who has one too.
Suggestions welcome
Thanks|||For starters here's Zero-unit's Wolfbarbs-The ultimate guide and a recent thread on wolfbarb weapon options.
As far as weapons for pvm go, you have a lot of options. The Grief phase blade should hit at seven frames with normal attack if memory serves me right. It'll also be huge, consistent damage with a nice percentage of deadly strike. A Griswold's caduceus could work nicely for even more speed, which is wonderful when delivering crushing blow.
If you did decide to go for a two-hander, something like an eBotD great poleaxe or Tomb Reaver (ethereal if you're really fortunate) could work very nicely. An upped, shael-ed Ribcracker would also be a wonderful more budget-minded choice. From a pvm standpoint, you'll have solid defense from shout and iron skin, and be an absolute tank going mostly all vit with a two-hander; I don't forsee any problems pulling it off.
For the rest of your gear, it all depends on your relative wealth. Duress and Lionheart make great alternatives if you don't feel like going with a Fortitude. Bloodfists are great for the life/fhr/min damage, with these and a 12 fhr grand charm, you'll hit the 42 percent fhr (four frame) breakpoint. A String of Ears would be swell for the percent pdr and integer mdr and even some leech. A Highlord's and dual Ravenfrosts (they needn't be perfect) would be a very solid jewelry setup, the deadly strike is huge. Lastly, Goblin Toes could make for a wonderful source of crushing blow, or Gores could work nicely for the open wounds and deadly strike on top of some cb.
Oh, if you're curious and want to see how other weapons compare, you can run them through TheDragoon's wereform IAS/FHR calculator.|||just select normal attack in calculator, cause feral rage show wrong values|||I have a wolf barb and i use:
Helm: 3+wc/6wolf/6lycan/and 5 fr (i know one of these is max 5+ i just can remember)
armor1: fort
armor2: enigma (for tele and the skills)
shield: stormshield
wep1: grief pb
wep2: 2x hotos (for bo and wolf)
boots: gores
gloves: dracs
rings/ammy: angelics
and ISO: beast zerk (for bear)
in my inv i have treachery for fade and a bloodletter for ww when i am fighting smiters ( i never win against smiters)
right now i mostly duel and i have yet to be killed by another wolf barb or a wolf druid. If you are planning on only doing pvm you can really use anything because you will have so much life and you should have enough LL/ML to live forever. just get somthing fast if not you will be there forever because none of the attacks you have will hit more then one target.
If you are planning on dueling then a shield will be a must and so will the runeword treachery for the fade because you will also not be able to tele in wolf so you have to run after sorcs and the more res you get the better ( also if i am not wrong i think fade adds DR)
but wolf barbs are a dying race so gj for you going outside of the norm and making a char that requires you to look before you leap. in total i have seen 3 other wolf barbs and 2 wolf druids I have actually seen 5 bear sorcs so wolfs are low on the totem pole.|||if you are doing pve only use laying of hands instead of dracs|||Hey toonslayer very nice gear for prob about anything... My gear will look something similar but will decide to maybe use a beastz just for something abit different since i just got one. Wolf turning bear would be cool too
Got a hoto need another one... nigma is cool for str and skills. I agree with ya on the scarcity of seein wolfbarbs or even wolves for that matter. Thanks for responding and hope to post again with how well i do when my build is through.|||No problem, and in 6 years when the ladder resets we should duel.
I to am going to grab a beastz for the fun of it because no other build would benifet from the werebear as much as a wolf barb.|||Really, a Beast does little to nothing for a Wolf Baba, the +3 Lyca can easily be obtained by the use of a hoto and, in my opinion the worst part of it all is, Beast weapons attack so slow... Id personally rather use a sheal'd Azurewrath for pvm'ing and get crushblow from else where, since thats the only real benefit in my book from the use of a Beast anything.
Fanta doesnt increase a werewolf's speed, and the ar increase is pitiful
Rather slow attack speed imo
It WILL break at some point (unlike grief pb or azure or even up'd sheal'd ginthers)
Str really isnt going to do much for ya by that point either >.>
O well, to each his own I suppose.|||Wouldnt Beast off hand and grief PB main Hand be aswome? cb from beast and fant work well with each other?|||you only get the fana auras bonus not the weapons bonuses aswell as far as I know
