polebarb questions!

[frend? or foe!]

hi all i've decided to make a pole barb because i enjoyed the one i had in v1.09 but as quite a few things have changed in v1.10 i need some questions answered here goes

1. how much mana is needed now? i've got cresent moon amu but would
much rather use highlords! would a 7% manald ring be enough?

2. i've got a 3 socket tombreaver waiting for me what u guys suggest i socket
it with?

3.the reanamate monsters feature on tombreaver, what exactly is it?
does it reanamate monsters to fight for u? a bit like necros revive!
or do monsters attack you? like those bloody anoying carvers!!

4. is the reaver the best pvm pole to use other than botd?
(this is ladder play and i'm realisticly doubting me finding/trading a zod :hanky:)

any clarification or suggestions would be great :thumbsup:

1. 7% in hell is the minimum
2. socket with either a 15% ias or shael and 2 jewels with ed% or runes with your favorite mod.

4. reaver can either be really good or really bad as the stats on it can vary greatly.

1) I got a polearm that is just using wilhelm's for mana leech, I have no problem with keeping ww up but for mana leeches it would advantage to have more :)
2) ed jewels with minimum 10% ias somewhere :)
3) Reanimate is gosu for my barb, I whirl a pack and if I'm lucky someone will die and a returned (monser in tristram, just black) will rise and tank the group that group around it.. it's not good for anything else really :)
4) An ethereal zod 40/15 ias 40/15 max is a serious contender ;)

1.7% is enough with reaver damage
2.u need 10% more ias to take reaver to the last ww bp,so socket and ed/ias jewel or shael and use ed jewels or ohm($) runes in the remaining sockets.
3.Yep,like Hell said they work for u,but their damage is a joke,they stay for 60 secs,take auras & cries but their A.I is horrible.They can take some pounding though.
4.Yes,but like Gui said,tombreavers can either be really good(perfect ed & 3 sockets) or really bad.They give resists and mf as well,so easier to max resist in hell since u are'nt using shield.

thx for your answers guys
1.well guess i'll just stick 7%ml to start and add if required
2.theres little chance of putting a ohm in reaver even if i do find one
(ohm =exile for wich i've got a eth kurast shield with 42%res all waiting!)
3.ah! them dumb *** necro revive thingies!!
4. the reaver i got is ok dmg but only 32 res all i think :rant:
and the mf don't interest me for this build.

so again thx for taking the time to answer my questions :thumbsup:
