Well, here he is. The first barb I've patted. Ever.

He began with the intention of being an IK Barb. But since I have never and still have not found the IKSC he had to make due. To be honest he didn't need the armor. Even if I find the armor, I don't know that I'll even put it on him (see armor below). I have to say he has been the easiest Pat/Mat I've had and pretty fun to play.
Well, enough of that. Here are the stats (all with items and BO,BC,Shout)
Patriarch Someday (someday as in someday I'll find that stupid armor *shaking fist*)

IK helm (with 2 Ptopazes), gloves, boots, belt, maul (with 15% ias j00L and shael rune)
Armor: yep, Tal Rasha's (1 Ptopaz) for those who saw the pics...but I'll get to that later
Angelic ring and ammy for AR boost
2nd ring is Raven Frost
Stats (not including items)
20 BO
20 WW
20 MM
17 Shout
2-3 in NR (can't remember)
1 Berserk
1 Iron Skin
Rest in Prereqs
Gameplay:
He had no problems getting through Normal and NM. Mostly because I twinked him with an Upped Steel Driver. So he got to 74 no problem. My initial intention was to get him to 76 just to see how he did with the Maul on and then to park him waiting for the armor. But things went so smooth once he hit 76 in Act II Hell that I figured I might as well just finish him off. With the maul equipped I put on the Duriel's Shell for the resistances, life, and defense (was using Silks of the Victor for the mana leech until 76).
Had a few deaths in Hell. 1 in the Chaos Sanctuary but not to IM. :tongue: Just me not paying attention.
Gloams were really not much of a problem thanks to taunt. Just ran forward, waited to see the lightning, retreated. Then inched forward and taunt, taunt, taunt, BERZERK! Dead gloams.
Now, for the Tal's armor. I mean, geez, he looks absolutely awful in this thing. But he pretty much flies through the Pits and Tunnels (much better maps than my Sorc has). So, I had to get the MF up there. The Tal's has 112 increased MF with the Ptopaz and actually increased all his resistances except poison. But man he looks horrible in purple. :grin:
Future:
Well, he'll be MFing. I have him doing "super" MF runs. Sequentially:
Eldritch
Shenk
Pindleskin
Tunnels
Pit
Countess (repeat)
Once he gets stronger I'll probably see if he can manage the WSK and Baal too.
That's it for this one. Thanks for reading!
