BvB Idea

[Locke07]

I have decided I want to make a new BvB this time using a Battle Hammer. Except I am going defense BvB. I remember a while back Fredsta was talking about shopping all of the armor for his Defense BvB, I searched but was unable to find that thread, so I have a few questions. I have been shopping in hell act 4, for things like Holy Ornate, or a holy ornate of deflecting and I am coming up very very short on those? So is there a level required to shop items like that? And would this barb even be worth it? I planned on a Holy Ornate of Mammoth, Holy Pavise of Deflecting, Holy War Belt of Mammoth, Holy Grand Crown of the Mammoth. I have a Holy grand crown of the jackel so if anyone could put in some input and the required level or place to shop for these items that would be helpful!

Thanks in advance,
Locke

during my scepter shoping at nm drognan i came across 288 15/10 grim, or 202 38 life grim helm (char around 83 at that time)
i read somewhere on this site the higher level the better chance of exceptional items offered by merchants, personaly i see more 2 din and pri mods after lvling my din

be prepared for spending several hours on it
i guess hell hablu and running down to outer plains, preferably with a din (take off armor and equip 30 frw boots, if u use spurs)

I'm just curious. What is the system for AR vs Def in PvP? Def / AR = Chance to hit?

You're going to need to spend 100+ hours likely to shop most of the gear, you're better off MFing and trading. And the full magic def BvB won't do too well either, get some nice rares and get lots of levels (90+) rather than shopping.
