Has anyone tried a Stormlash Frenzy Barb like this?

[SirBeetle]

Thinking about making one that uses dual Eth Stormlash's for pvm purposes (since frenzy is terrible in duels for the most part). Also thinking I could do uber/tristam with a setup similar to this:

Arreats
Fort
MetalGrid or Highlords
Eth Stormlash
Eth Stormlash
Ravenfrost
Mana Leech/Stat Ring
Verdungos
Drac's
Gore Riders
Warcry Spears -wep switch-
Torch
Anni
Lots of Ar and Vita Charms

20 Frenzy
20 Mace Mastery
20 Battle Orders
20 Shout
1 Battle Command
1 Howl
1 Natural Resist
1 Increased Stamina
1 Increased Speed
1 Bash
1 Iron Skin
1 Double Swing
1 Double Throw
Extra Points maybe get to berserk or iron skin? Havn't made a frenzy barb in a while, but synergies look pretty worthless for 8% ed a pop.

Skill Points Invested in the usual; enough str and dex after equip bonuses to use everything, all vita.

Merc: Might/Offensive
Pride
Fort
Guillaume's/Dream/Andy's/Gaze/whatever

Anyone done a build with the stormlash's? I would think that ubers would be terribly easy with this build. Also, where should I throw extra points? Any input would be cool.

Good point allocation, except 20 Shout

Since frenzy aint gonna win more than 2/10 in a pvp fight, so you dont need such high defence against monsters.
Seriously!
I have 2 hard points in Shout, thats all you need, since all my other + all|barb skills raise it to 13

Spend these points on maxing your frenzy damage, and thats done by synergies.
Taunt is the way to go first, then double swing. I have 14% mana leach so I never USE double swing, but pump it for frenzy synergy damage anyway

The increase stamina|speed really is personal, but my experience is save those points into more damage via frenzy synergy, aka taunt then double swing.
I use GG enigma, on my frenzy barb, for the 45% frw, and also the 8% damage reduction, the +2 all skills (which helps a frenzy barb more so, because this class of barb uses all 3 skill trees) more life than fort, plus a few other bonuses.
Another VERY good option is Chains of Honour, because it gives you the +2 skills, and 8% damage reduction, but it also gives you awesome resists, (good for ubers) and extra damage to demons and undead.
Nice bonus to strength and 8% life leach help to make this a very good choice for frenzy barb.

Everything else you mention is :thumbsup:

For merc, gear selection is good, Vamp or Guillaume's cant be beaten for helm choice

gg have fun

:thumbsup:

Thnx, havn't made a frenzy barb since the days of before synergies when schaefers reigned supreme. I suppose raising the synergies would raise my dmg by 320% which you can never complain about. Something tells me that ubers would be no prob with this build so I'll try switching between fort and coh to see which one pwns them faster. I'm kinda partial on engima with a barb unless it's pvp. Think I'll go resists+dmg over teleport+frw when pvm.

20 double swing instead of 20 shout on a frenzy barb, remember your defense doesn't exist when you are running

yes your frenzy barb will destroy the ubers, a little slower on meph because he is immune to your static

remember to stack your light and fire res to 300 with extra charms

as for armor: fort is king for pvm, enigma for pvp (frenzy barbs don't work well in pvp unfortunatly)

[Clay bizzle]

Yeah definitely Fort over everything else. The damage will help your Stormlashes a lot and it of coarse has great defense, resists, and life. I would actually recommend IK belt over Dungos for the extra stacked light and fire resist. 300 stacked resists sounds a little over the top since I only have have like 154 cold, fire, lightning and still stand up to Mephy pretty well.

i have! and i can solo uber with it. stormlashes are non eth, i just socketed it with ED and ias jewels. used dual ravens, highlords and duress. I had a barb torch, and resist charms, no anni. died once on my first trip.....after that its been a walkin in the park. oh and our stats are pretty same as i followed iron build on ash's guide.
