WW barb need som input.

Hi fellow barbarians.

My WW semi titan needs some input, first i'm strickly PVM so no need for any PVP input.

And plz no talk about dual wield, i hate the looks of it and we 2 handers get all the precious style points and girls

LVL 89

Gear:

Arreat 195% ed 5%ll upped what to socket this one with?

Fortitude sacred armor +15% ed, 29@ 100life

eth BOTD GPA 399% sadly non superior

Steelrends 57% ed, 17str

Gore rider low ed (will get better pair and upp them)

String 8%ll 174 ed% 15% dam reduce. (upped)

Highlords

Raven 247/19

Carrion wind 9% ll

2x echoers on switch

Charms:

15/19 torch. Rest is +max +ar charms some good som bad, sadly i'm on a /budget so most of them are self found or in the mal-2 ist range.

+21 hit recovery from charms. (8 squares left in inv)

No anni, will probably get one soon

ar ~6.6k, ~9,5k with demon limb pre buff.

WW damage 5-15k with might aura.

resist 62/62/80/75

2,5k file after BO, rest of stats in str 417 now.

~21k def (~25k if cold armor triggers)

Merc:

Act 2 might aura.

Gullamies

Gladiators

Reapers toll

Skills:

max WW

max mastery

max Bo

max shout

1 pt berserk, nat resists, taunt

rest in iron skin

What i wonder is mainly jewlery thinking of replacing carrion with a rare +100ar, +max or min dam, life steal ring, any thought about this or should i try any other jewlery setup? (remeber still on budget max 5 ist)

I feel that it is my ar that i should fockus on but is angelic combo a option, or would a rare or another raven even better?

What to socket arreats with? I have a 39%ed +9str jewel i'm thinking of using, input on this please?

I use him as support for my smiter in �ber Tristram and to run Baal and Diablo. He also is my main runner for destrucktion keys, and collects organ sets faster than my smiter.

2,5k life? higher or lower? input here highly appretiated.

Merc! He is a walking aura no more no less! I hardly ever get any use of decep and he only does the odd sweep up kill, But he survives quite well.

Thanks for reading and cya all in Harrogaht!|||Quote:

Both are options. I think Angelic gives you more AR. A lot of people don't like Ravenfrost on WW barbs because the slowed movement speed of being cold actually increases the amount of damage you can do.

Do some forum searching. Off weapon %ed from jewels works in a weird way from what I recall and may not be optimal.

For SC PvM, 2-3k life is more than enough. Depending on your playstyle, you may feel comfortable with more or less but I'd say your life is fine.

That's pretty much his function. You might want to try Enigma. Great for mercs. You will lose some LCS damage, but the increased mobility is probably worth it.|||6.6k AR isn't a lot, but good enough for PvM I think. Angelics isn't really worth the loss of highlord's, rather get a dual leech ring with some AR in the other slot.

I would swap Arreat's for Guill's, especially since you uber, but that's up to you. You can't get better than an ED/str jewel in the helm.

One thing you can try to get your merc back to you is to run ahead and around big crowds, then go whirl where he pops up.|||Thank you guys for the input!

I'll try to get a rare or crafted AR, lifesteal, Str life bla bla ring, and continue with demon limp charges.



I don't acctually kill �bers with the barb he just supports the smiter with bo and killing of spawned minions or howling them away so i'll stick with arreats (we are two players in game)

I guess the merc will have to do as is... maybe i'll change his weapon to an obidience or something if i don't feel i need deceprify, will not go the enigma route with this guy. I have that on my summoner and i know it increases merc effictiviness about ten times, but i'll let him roam free and do the odd attack one in a while and stare off into the distance whishing he was back in the desert most of the time.|||Personally I'd use a second raven as you have plenty of leech with botd/string/arreats. I'd also swap out some of those ar/max charms for ar/life charms. Those are pretty reasonable in price and will make more of a difference for you in the long run, I think. And you won't have to bother with demon limb annoyance any more.

JEB90|||I would prefer swapping arreats to guillis and raven with some other stat ring. Can be frozen is much better for a ww barb because frozen does not slow down ww ias anyways. If you plan to go guillis then max out natural resist. Ok sounds crazy but it helps max out resist.
