Frenzy Barb Questions

[OmegaHatred]

I have a Frenzy barb and i was thinking about maxing taunt, a synergy to war cry and frenzy and put the remaining points into sword mastery, but with my +skills it should bring my mastery up to 23.

also i was thinking about getting a last wish pb which would give me a lvl 17 might aura so i wouldnt need the might merc but i still wanna get a a2 merc so he can use insight, but what kind of a2 merc should i get?

insight? do you have mana problems? teleing with enigma? get a source of mana leech.. frenzy is only 3 mana per swing.

i personally think you should stick to one type of weapon mastery.. last wish can be made in axes too (if that was your other weapon type)

holy freeze mercs are alright, helps crowd control and you won't get swarmed. if you're not using beast as a weapon, maybe invest in an act 1 rogue with faith

My frenzy barb gets about 450 mana after bo and I have no mana leech. I have never, ever had a problem with mana. I get +4 mana per kill from grief/beast and between that and natural regen it keeps my mana at full.

The main thing with Insight was cause I need it for when I tele. Sorry I Forgot to mentions that. And I don't think Holy Freeze would work cause I was gonna hork the dead bodies :)

If you need teleport mana AFTER battle orders bonus then just chug mana pots WHILE you are teleporting, in order to maximize their effectiveness

as for frenzy synergies the only worthwhile one is double swing because it doubles as a good combat skill (for big crowds of low hp monsters)

frenzy barbs need the regular 60 pts that all combat barbs need

20 mastery of choice
20 combat skill of choice --> frenzy
20 battle orders

after that try 20 double swing or 10/10 shout/double swing

after double swing you can put pts in taunt but that will be at a very high level considering you also need base pts in speed, res, battle command and (recommended) find item

get a might merc, dump the last wish and pick up a "death" sword/axe in your off-hand, so much better
