Barbarian with more then 20000 life. How?

[kwfp]

How do you get so much life?

I have seen someone online with so much.

Battleorder maxed and full or life charms and warcry charms but what else?

But what gear to use?

And how much life is it possible to get?

One were speaking about he had level 55 bo

[Metathrom]

Hmmm... I didn't do the maths, so I'm listing a + max skill setup first:
- +3 BO Delirium helm
- +3 Warcry amulet or +2 Skill ammy with life bonus
- CoH, Arkaine's or Enigma Armor
- Arachnid Mesh Belt
- Aldur's Boots (life boost)
- +3 Warcry spears or 2x Hoto
- Bloodfist Gloves (life boost)
- +2 BK or SoJ rings
- Warcry charms with life, torch, anni
- 20 lifers in the rest of the inventory

A good +life setup could be 2x EbotD swords on switch (+60 to vitality), a Verdungo's or Trang Belt for life and 2 vita/life rings. But I haven't done the math, so I don't know what would give a bigger bonus...

Oh, and ask a Druid to summon his Oak Sage as well: its life bonus can be even bigger than BO's. :D

[Barloc]

Well, I'm not sure about 20k, but 10k+ is easy for me when I'm baalin and there's a druid with high lvl Oak Sage. That's with lvl 36 BO so It can defineatly be higher.

Might be able to hit 10k on your own with a bo stack + wolfhowl/werewolf, but 20k on your own, I don't think so. How were you actually able to see this?

[Zelator]

20k ? I dont think so..

Maybe wolfbarb with 55 bo, 55 oak lots of vita or something.

[Tiidus]

without a druids oak its impossible!!

I think my barb has about 14k max and thast when in bear form, using 3/20/20's and at lvl 97

[Kordova]

the highest iveever seen was my 97 wolf gear set up for strictly vita, he has 16k

Bear form and druid's oak sage can give ~20k if you have high bo.

[Luthor]

Assuming 255 points in Vitality, and all +life and +vitality is added to your total and then the percentage life bonus is calculated, you can get to around 15.4k. This also assumes the very best possible items and spawns of uniques/runewords. To get more than 20k life with this set up you would need to have 445 or more in vitality.

Helm: Shako: +2 all skills, +2 vitality, +148.5 life
Armour: Enigma: +2 all skills, +5% life
Right: BEAST: +3 Werebear, +3 Lycanthropy
Left: HOTO: +3 all skills, +45% life (Oak Sage)
Belt: Crafted Belt: +120 life
Gloves: Crafted gloves: +60 life
Boots: Waterwalk: +65 Life
Amulet: Echoing Amulet Of the Whale: +3 Barbarian Warcries, +100 Life
Ring1: Bul Kathos Wedding Band: +1 all skills, 49.5 life
Ring2: Bul Kathos Wedding Band: +1 all skills, 49.5 life

Switch: 2x BotD (+60 vitality)

Inventory:
9x Grand charm: +1 Barbarian Warcries, +50 Life
1x Perfect Annihilus: +1 all skills, +20 vitality
1x Perfect Hellfire Torch: +3 Barbarian Warcries, +20 Vitality
10x Small Charm: +20 Life

The 15k is calculated included the lvl 4 Oak Sage from HotO. Using a lvl 30 Oak Sage instead boosts it to 19k, but that would require being in a party with a Druid. Partying with the Druid and putting all your available points into Vitality would give you a massive 26,476 life. Of course, putting all your points into vitality may mean you are lacking in the strength needed to equip some of the items listed.

So, in short: possible yes, plausible no.

Actually, this part at least is not possible - the +46-50 life suffix on Grand Charms is only on GCs with ilvl 110, which is impossible - unless the übers or DClone can drop things other than Annihilus or Hellfire Torches (I'm strictly Single Player, I don't know about the Ladder events).

Also, the .5 lifes on BKWB and Shako get rounded down - it won't have much effect, but I'm a bit of a pedant.

What if you use jah rune in armor and helmet many more possibilities. Can it be reached?
Forexample 4 socket armor 3 socket helm = 35% maximum life.

[Smackin]

Thats alot of life. Pretty useless since ur gonna get fried in less than 5 seconds. Insane life+insane death rate, good balance.

[SlainByPain]

The maximum amount of life possible on a barb (without sage and with full bo/lycan prebuff) is 17436

The maximum amount of life possible on a barb with sage ( with full bo/lycan prebuff) is 28152

edit:

it appears my numbers may be slightly off for strange reasons.. but you get the idea.

[Barloc]

Don't forget if your running calc's on life/BO that + life items are affected by BO bonuses.

But, + Vita and BOCL items do not get a bonus from BO.

[SlainByPain]

Yeah, the actual life is a bit higher than what I posted.

[MysticDragon]

I'm assuming that you saw the youtube video with a super buffed Namelock? The video was done with a normal BvC using Werebear, Summoner's Oak, and a Warcry Barbs BO.

Seen this question before, and back then I tried to calculate the maximum life you could have in the game.

My results was 20978 max possible solo or 34489 maximum if partied with a max Oak sage druid.

[Nagelfar]

Could weapons that give % to max life, like doombringer (champion sword, unique), be better than other weapons for increasing life if we're not counting needing oak sage on yourself (hoto, etc) or considering the possibility to extra vitality (BOTD)...??
