Most damaging setup for PvM

[piggiz]

I have tot of building a WW barb with the best killing for demons and undead.
These are the items I think may inflict the best damage for non ladder

Weapon - Breath of the Dying
+200% Damage To Undead
Prevent Monster Heal

Armour - Chains of Honor
+200% Damage To Demons
+100% Damage To Undead

Amulet - Seraph's Hymn
+20-50% Damage To Demons (varies)
+150-250 To Attack Rating Against Demons (varies)
+20-50% Damage To Undead (varies)
+150-250 To Attack Rating Against Undead (varies)

Helm - Arreats
Belt - Verdungo's Hearty Cord
Shield - Stormshield
Boots - Marrowwalk / Sandstorm Trek
Ring - Raven frost + Bul-Kathos' Wedding Band

I intend to socket all with the best jewels i can find for undead & demons.
Is there any better(s) I can equipment my barb? Thanks

I'd switch out the COH for a Fortitude armor. If you want the ultimate demon slayer its hard to beat the the B52 of them all...yes ladies and gents I'm talking about the 2 handed GPA BOTD barb. Hands down he packs the heaviest punch of any barb.

Great Pole Axe (GPA) BOTD
Arreats socketed with 40% ED jewel
Fortitude armor
Gores
String of ears belt (read Rikstakers guide why soe is better than verdungo)
LOH gloves for the dmg to demons
Ravenfrost, BK
I'd use Metalgrid, but I've always been partial to that ammy.

After you get a decent amount of life after BO (probably around 2.5K or so) pump strength since the added strength takes your damage way up. If you wanna see what one looks like then /w me in game. I'm on USEast NL. *chaca3

First of dont bother with the stormshield it simply isnt needed to survive. Use
a second weapon instead. Dont forget that laying of hands does 300 % dmg to demons. I see that with your listed gear you have zero in the going effects
department ( crushing blow, deadly strike ) Thats a huge disadvantage imo. Maybe you can use guilliames face instead of arreats. Otherwise it looks pretty cool to me.

for the ammulet wouldn't highlords wrath be better, 20% ias, 1 tas, + deadly strike. IMO

remember that for WW any off weapon IAS is ignored.

this will not work. it only works in weapons

[chaca]

I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree with you on this. It doesn't work if there is a second mod such as +dmg, since this is a known glitch...but as far as I know ED jewels do work in armor.

What he said.

Why not make a frenzy barb that uses the bk set? I would think it would work.

frenzy and bk set not that great since it has knock back.

I guess a shield will not be necessary for PvM.
I have decided to use axes and Ebotd is my main weapon of choice.
What's the other optins? I am thinking of Doom Zerker on the other hand.
I will built a WW barb
is that viable?

[sorceressgod]

if you were WWing lets say, a bunch of death lords(those act V guys who frenzy everything), it will be really tough just to kill them all by WW unless you take them up one by one...

so maybe the single point in concentrate might actually be better in the long range...

[morotsjos]

Wrong.


sorceressgod: why?

[sorceressgod]

well in my experience my barb, if i keep whirlwinding them it takes longer to kill and if i concentrate them one by one, it won't take long...

Uh...
Ww does almost as much damage and attacks 4 times in 8 frames, compared to concentrate which attacks once each 9:th frame lol.

Having some crushing blow on gear (*cough* guillaumes face+gores *cough*) while whirling with two weapons tears up anything in pvm.
