Will this be good enough?

[martinkingss]

Hi, i just wanted to check up with u experts, if this gear will cut it in hell:


Goblin Toe
Twitch or shall i change to Rattlecage?
Biggins bonnet
Deaths guard
Deaths hand
Manald heal
294 bsnap
carp amu 5% ar 5 fire res
3dex/55 ar/29% fire res/3%ll/8 mf ring

Skills are:Max ww, mace mastery, Bo, what shall i do with the rest?

Atm, i feel that my ar won't be good enough, right now its ~1k, and hitting monsters about 50% of the time. i think that it is higher btw, seeing as i hit 9/10 times in nm act 3.

Any suggestions?

The deaths combo is great, even on lvl 80ish barbs(imho). anyway i suggest ditching the biggins, its for lvl 3s for adventuring in the horrors of act 1 normal. Id suggest irathas helm, a 3 ptopaz one, sigons(with another sigons item, like the boots) or a rare one. try to get a better mana steal ring if possible, even a 3% mana steal 50 attack rating one is an improvement over the manald imho. of course the angelic combo is great and cheap, get the amu and a ring. twitch doesnt offer much for a ww barb, perhaps try the angelic armor for a nice mf boost with other angelic items, or a goldskin/rare armor with resists? Anyway my barb uses the gear i suggest and it works great and offers a nice amount(300ish) of mf too so its nice to get those sweet rare items.

294 bsnap? hook me up with one of those...

as for cutting it, pvm? what act do you prefer?

[martinkingss]

zrk, ill try with all of those. right now my stash is very limited, but ill try finding some. do u think its worth getting 125/169 str instead of 69?

@goomba im in act 1 hell now, tryin to finish off, then im think im gonna run the council.

Bet he just means 294 ed, not dmg :grin:!

More ar is needed on a snapper. If you are going to do travi a lot. The angelic setup (armor, amulet and 2 * ring) with snap works good enough in 1 person mf-games, allthought you will have to pot to a some degree, since snaps dont come with any leeches. But you will manage. I have even potted my way without any leech except dtm from angelics (1 person games and doing only travi with full mf gear), but i would not recommend it. Just not worth it...

Maybe you should boost your str atleast to 169 so you can change the snap to a mart later, if you acquire a nice one. Many suggest 250 str to a trav runner, but i seem to manage quite well with 220 str, rest vita while using a semi nice 270 mart. Marts are better than snap imho, but snap gets you started very well.

yeah more than likely 294 ED snap. I have a 299 ED snap, and another 29x snap that I'll be giving away over the coming days.

as well as a +1 pskul 268 mart and a +2 290 pamy mart... (quitting and giving away stuff has been almost as fun as playing these past few years)

Assuming this is a PvM Barb, here's something that will work much better for you:

Gear
Helm: Sigon's Visor
Weapon: Bonesnap
Armor: Goldskin
Gloves: Sigon's Gaunlets
Boots: Goblin Toe
Belt: Nightsmoke or FHR 2x FR/LR Belt
Rings: Angelic Halo x 1 AND AR Dex ML FR/LR/PR Ring or Manald Heal
Amulet: Angelic Wings

Skills
20 Whirlwind
20 Battle Orders
20 Maul Mastery
14 Increased Speed
Rest Natural Resist
1 All Pre-Reqs

This setup should bring your AR to somewhere around 4-6k, and you'll have better LL and ML, and much better Res.
