Doom Knight

[kupus]

While playing frenzy barb I found that neither Ball nor Diablo kill me faster but Doom Knights. At clvl 82 even in nm Ball runs, Doom Knights killed me so often...
Any receipts for those bastards...? and what's is doom knight damage?

I am thinking you are referring to Oblivion Knights, the ones in the Doom Knights pack with a ranged attack right? It was not their physical damage that killed you but the iron maiden curse that these Oblivion Knights cast. Iron maiden reflects the melee physical damage you do to yourself and thus the most godliest melee char probably dies the fastest when under the influence of iron maiden :( When playing barbs i usually have beserk on my left click and warcry on my right when facing areas with iron maiden. IIRC howl and taunt do not work with oblivion/doom knights. So i adopt a stun em and zerk em tactic and this has never caused a single death to date :P Though warcry does physical damage it is not melee - more like a spell and beserk does pure magic damage so it's all good hehe Hope i helped ^^

yeah, the iron maiden is a real pain in the ***, I usually just run back to a safe spot and allow the melee guys to follow me and leave the iron maiden cursers behind

Yes, litlle bit aftewards my posting I read about iron maiden and your post just proof my concerns. You hit nail in the head with beserk and wc advice. Thanks for making my barb almost perfect killing mashine:thumbsup:

I was fed up with hiding my barb behind my merc waitin' him to do job with those bastards. At least, its not barb's way, specially frenzy barb's way....Now with Bathucka's help I'll be able to make those runs easier....not to mention losing exp.

warcry, or whichever one of barbs cries that stun. or howl as a temporary solution. or berzerk. i'm not a barb person so don't rely to much on me though.

Haha glad to be of help. But careful when zerking with manaburn critters though ^^ When u run out of mana barb uses standard attack by default and u could still die due to iron maiden :(
