I want to make:
travi runs
chaos runs
d-key runs

which skill whould you suggest to use? It's like "use ww in travincal, zerk in chaos and conc/frenzy on d-keys" or something like that, but what if I just want to run all those places with a single char? :)
but tell me also which skill is the best vs each of those. as well which one is the best overall (but I know it's like "Zerk in chaos or forget about chaos runs")

the most important ones for me are travi and nih

for chaos you need zerker barb, i think you can do fine with ww and 1 pt zerk, you need to utilize leap alot to kb moster mobs swarming at you ,use 2x botd zerker azes and you are good

No character in the game can run ALL bosses faster than a teleporting Berserk Barb. It literally only takes me 25 minutes to kill Countess, Bone Ash, Andariel, Summoner, Fire Eye, Duriel, Travincal, Mephisto, Hephaesto, Diablo, Shenk, Eldrict, Nihlathek, Baal.

You can clear CS and kill D in about 3 minutes. You can run nihlathek in about 30 seconds (faster if you guess the right way at the end).

The trick for all of this is only kill the super unique bosses, and ignore all petty monsters by using Howl. Even the most powerful Hammerdin cannot clear CS as fast as a Berserker that only needs to make 3 kills before diablo. Last season there were some nice YouTube videos of someone else's berserker doing this, but mine was even better. Check out my guide.

ww=crowd control
zerk and conc are 1 target skills and make for slow going. frenzy is only slightly better, but has much higher damage

maximum dmg ww build = fun in PVM (plus you can die relatively easy, making inherent life leech very exciting).

WW build is very cheap : opt for the IK set and you're almost done. All parts except armor go for a handful of Pgems.
Other builds are more efficient but several time more expensive !
Build it accordingly to your wealth, they're all fun do play.
Come and tell us ;o)

thats impressive :shocked: . record a video of you doing it sometime, I'd like to see how youre able to do that so fast.

Nice tip on the howl BTW, I probably should use it more often

It's quite simple, but you need 2xhoto's on switch for fast teleport. And I literally man you skip all the non-unique monsters (maybe kill champions if you feel like it). So for example most of the time for your Diablo run is the tele time in to the CS and to the next seal. The seal bosses die in 1 hit (see my 50k damage set-up in my guide). Unfortunately I retired from playing about 6 months ago, but I saw a youtube video of someone else using similar strategy.

I've been using my friend's gold find barb, and when doing frenzy, it is godly in trav. My pvp setup barb did absolutely horrible in trav (no lifetap), Frenzy for trav, bezerk for chaos, ww for crowd's (acceptable in chaos, just got to be watching out for the dreaded iron maiden). Best O' Luck :laugh: :thumbsup:
