I decided to make a berserk barb. I've read nightfish and radu's guides as well as a few other things on it.
My question is how am I supposed to keep my health and mana up? Even with max resists and block, I'm still bound to take quite a bit of damage just in the normal course of things, with no way to leech it back. I could possibly warcry everything so I never take damage, but with the high mana cost of warcry plus the high mana cost of berserk, I'd be out of mana in about 10 seconds.
I've got moderately decent gear, but I'll probably never get "uber" stuff as it's a hardcore ladder character, so ethereal BOTD zerkers with fort and a torch may be tough to come by.
Does this build require insane amounts of health with BO so that you can wipe out the entire worldstone keep + baal before you've taken enough damage to die or is there a better way to keep health/mana up besides drinking dozens of potions?
