Wolfbarb - skillers/torches

[shuy]

I've tried to use "search" but cannot find answer - maybe becasuse of my English :)

Can I add skills points to oskills using druid torch and shape skillers?

I wonder either which baba skills can be used in wolf shape? I suppose no warcries but what about WW, concentrate, berkserk etc?
I think I found correct topic ref. last questions, and just reading about it, but understanding takes few days :)

A druid torch on a barb will only result in you having a bonus for the stats/resist and the chance to cast the firestorm on attack.

Only +to all skill can help you with your oskill. Like the annihilus.

The only attack you can use while shifted is regualr attack and feral rage, forget about ww or any other barbarian attacks.

Just tried use WC skillers with cta - does not work.
Skillers have message "barbarian only" and it seems to be true :(

I see that only advantage of wolfbarb is huge amount of life - not very impressive.

You get damage and AR from the Wolfbarb skills not just life and dont forget you get a very fast attack in Wereforms(especially a Caddy).Mine does pretty well considering Ive not sorted out FHR yet.I get owned by grief smiters but that might be the FHR and lack of good range but Ive beaten a fair few WW barbs.

Definitly try a wolfbarb, I love mine.

I am able to hit 7.3k life with the right set-up, and I could easily pre-buff a bit for massive life, I've hit 11k with a good oak in my party, more than enough to withstand most attacks especially since I got alot of leech. My damage with merc is about 5k - 15k, topped with around 20 LL from gear and LL from feral I leech back fast. If you want me too, I could even list my gear set-up.

I would however not recommend skillers. Attack rating/life grand charms would be better. Although you may not be able to bo/shout/bc in WW form, you can easily do it before the shift, it lasts long enough anyways.

Again try one if you can, I love mine, hes near invincible in pvm, save for the dreaded Iron Maiden.

There are a lot more advantages than that. There's massive amounts of life, there's massive defense (since you don't need to boost any attack skills, you can max both Shout *AND* Iron Skin), there's solid damage with *HUGE* leech (50+% from Feral), there's a ton of speed, and there's a very, very fast attack (much faster than anything that the Barb has available, including Frenzy/Double Swing, with the one exception of Double Throw).

Ah yeah I forgot about defence.If you get good crushing blow setup its good enough for Ubers(its my ownly Uber ready char at the moment).
