Chaosing Barbs?

[tuxor]

any good chaosing barbs that come moderately close to javazons and other things of that sort? not really that close, mind you, but a build that i could chaos in 8 player games with and do pretty well...while still being a barb

[sirmessbu]

Want a build that is immune to Iron Maiden, 2 choice availlable to my knowledge.

Zerker barb (can survive very well using some right gear and geat amazing damage)
Warcry barb (high survivability but it won't deal much dmg in 8 players games)

Reasonably survivability can be acheive with Frenzy barb or concentrator. Just be extra carefull, kill knights first and always watch curse active on you before swinging.


The only barb not very reasonable would be a whirlwind barb, once engaged in ww and being Iron maiden your toast.


If you need more information about the mentionned build look out here http://forums.diabloii.net/showthread.php?t=231548

If ya got anymore questions , feel free to ask.

berserker can easily do seal runs in 8player games
just tele to seals, kill bosses and kill dia after that

if you wanna do a full cs run it will be hard because you need to fight every enemy individually which is to slow (imo)

Well i'm not saying this would be superfast but maybe a double throw or bow barb :P Eth Lacerator + some high ed rare hyperion javas for amp and damage maybe hehe Could be a faith weilding rogue merc tagging along to get you more damage/ar/speed ^^ Grim Ward/War Cry/Taunt/Howl for crowd control?

I'm doing diabloruns with a berserker, and yes I mostly try splitting up (howl) the boss packs kill the bosses and open all seals as quick as possible. So I'm possibly missing out most of the good loot but 4 superunique seal bosses, some random unique boss, some random unlucky mob i didn't like and mr D himself all in a very fast and conveniant run. Most of all because it's a more fun run than running mephi with sorc... I also usually run Nihlathak with this barb, never died once and I am pretty kamikaze style tele in the middle of Nihla's pack...

Who said berserkers are fragile?

[PlayWithHonor]

Berserkers with Nigma are great for Chaos runs. Tele to seal... tap seal, war cry or howl, kill unique.... rinse and repeat for all seals. Own Diablo. Collect loot.

Next run.

Zerk provides for crazy damage that is pure magic damage... not many monsters have resists against it so its quite often more "effective" damage than physical/elemental damage.

it also depends on your social skills - a WC barb is good for making friends (if he is high enough) - - but for an initial hit&run - beserk all the way - -personally - a WW/Conc is good - if you have enough +skill bonuses - that way 1 pt in conc 20 in ww - -and with skill bonuses 30 conc 30 ww. - worked for me (high def may or maynot be requiard, depending on your strat. and connection (ie lag vs. no lag)
