l9 Barb

[NightShade]

I got bored and decided that while I amass wealth to try a 34, I was going to make a decent level 9 to pvp with.

I really don't care for paladins or assassins at that level so I opted for a barb.

+27 dmg crown
+36 dmg Gothic
Sigs gloves/boots
Deaths belt
Dual war axes (+56 dmg)
----Dual clegs (cheaper alternative..much cheaper)
Rings/ammy have me stumped.

Using "perfect" gear it puts my damage at about 8x per swing (pvp) which aught to be enough to cut people down (though maybe not chicken) and sitting at give or take 400 life


Still plotting it out. Haven't made one of these in a very, very long time. Post up if I'm missing something.

dont worry shade, i ll take you through the options.


dual clegs aint that bad, if you feel silly take clegs gloves. in the land of cheaters, honest fighting is not required. they have high str/dex reqs though.

i'd suggest looking at that attack speed. if you can, drop sigs gloves and use bloodfists, they're superior. gorefeet are also nice for the +2 leap (leap stuns opponents a bit) and 20% run-walk, and they don't cost as much. gorefeet+deaths gloves are superior to any and everything else.

flails are a tad cheaper and a lot faster, plus you look silly, which is good. i'd not take a 4 sock goth plate, i'd be going with 3 sock light plate and a 3 sock barbie helmet (+3 dual strike, +3 mastery, or +3 bash or something).

a very good option that btk-capoeira ran with was dual civerbs cugdels. max dam per level, cheap, bonus AR, decent speed, and you can combine with civerbs amulet to get 15% fire/cold res, 40% mana regen and 4 life replenish (pointless but ok).

if cbf is not much of a concern, hsarus boots and belt are great. cold res, life, 20% faster run walk, 10 AR /level. hsarus belt+boots and bloodfists make for a fine non cbf-combo.

at level 11 you can use cathans sigil + 2 ammys for +20 str.


rings: nagelrings, easy as pie.
ammys: either a +5 str, civerbs, or a superior (+5 str + @) rare amulet. +5 to a stat is the best you'll get. Rare rings from classic with 60-80 ish AR will also do. Do some Cain runs for st00pid rings. you might get lucky.

just some thoughts.

I generally just have a hard on for 4sock gothics.

Comparitively I'm sacraficing 100 odd life for 30 more pvp damage a swing and a bit faster swing speed. Dual clegs means me pressing my luck for that crit strike to kick in and start smashing things. They are probably the best option as I don't have upteen million +9maxers laying around. "version 2" would probably be using the jeweled flails, as it costs way too much to put together.

I thought about going to level 11, but if I am there I may as well make a zealer/charger and take ears alittle more effectively.


Ideally I'm trying to get my life up over the 1shot mark, which sits (somewhere) at about 300. 3ball assassins and sac paladins are all I remember being in that range and neither have a really great shot at 1shotting a 350...cept if they have +14 maxes out the arse.

it is worthwile to carry a nokazin relic and hotspur in order to gain 95% fire res to kill of enchanted people. 4000 fire damage per hit ==> dead dual-swinger.

goth plates also slow you down. light plate does not ^_^

civerb's with the max damage on it will be somehting like 8-40 damage at level 9, with pretty low srtrength requirements and no dex. but a little slow IIRC

[NightShade]

It will be a while before it is fully geared/charmed, thats for sure.
