Hi, well first of all, it will be a mid lvl dueler, at lvl 53 (i aint going farther) and i never made a zerker, so need advices. please note im playing hardcore mode so plz take this in consideration.
Ok i got couple questions about equip and skill points placement.
First of all, im not 100% sure wich gear to use, ill list you my gear possibilities here, and plz tell me what you think.
Weapon: Kingslayer Balrog Blade (33% CB, 50% OW, around 260% ED) this is definately my weapon, im not changing this, and basing this build on the use of this weapon (wich is kinda expensive, mal um gul and something else)
Shield: Lanceguard, 20% Deadly strike and 50 life, will help ton, socket it with a ELD rune for extra block. another alternative i tough of would be a 3socket artisan shield of deflecting socketed with max/ias jewls, depending on the breakpoint i will achieve (not sure yet, 30% wepon speed seem to break alot just by itself, next bp would b at like 25%)
Helm: arreats, obviously
armor: need advice on that one. i have 3 armors in mind, first shaft. 35% dr would help alot. then a 4soc artisan of the whale, with max/ias jewls. and finally, duress (but i dont think it would b worth it, since with goblin toe ill have over 50% crusing blow, and 50% open wound) so ditch duress i guess... so.. shaft or 4soc*of the whale?
belt: I hesitate btw tgod and 15% string of ears. well if i go for shaft, im sure gonna ditch the string for tgod, but if i go for the 4soc armor, 15% dr would be helpfull i think. and i could keep tgod in stash for CS zons (theyre quite powerfull, but die quite quickly also :thumbsup: ) i could go tgod all the way... to use str bug... but i could also use ik gloves and use the same str bug wit same str req
gloves: Bloodfist or IK, not sure yet.
boots: Goblin toe, i could use waterwalk also... but would 33% crushing blow from weapon be enough?
rings: well 1 raven from for sure, i have a rare 15str/15dex ring also, but im not sure of its lvl req. i dont really think using angelics, cuz i will got enough %to ar with arreats and kingslayer. so 2nd ring could be another ravenfrost, i could always keep angelic ring/amulet combo for dueling certain type of chars
amulet: tele amulet, ill try to trade for a nice one with life, and i think ill start crafting some and try to get one with teleport/+barb skill/(life or good str/dex)
so that about it for the equipment, id like any advice, since its my first zerker, i have no clue how they work, all i know is they kick ***.
For the skill placement now. my first tough was this(note its approximative i havent calculated the synergies, but i have like 9 skills left for synegies with that)
Zerk: 20
Zerk synergie: 15
Bo: 10
sword mastery: 10
should i do any modification to the skill placement, or leave it like that? with bo gear (without a bo helm) i would have a lvl 22 bo, wich should b enough to get 3k+ life (my goal would be 4k)
Im gonna use life charms, maby some max/life if i can get hand on some, and maby some wc gcs, to switch when i bo.
ok well thanks in advance for your help, ima post that in the barb forum also, but since theyre almost all softcore newbs.... i dont really expect good advices from em.
thanks you!
