2xBarb

Sorry for double post but it was in some odd wrong place.

A friend and I are both rolling barbs. My first question was if BO stacked and on google I found BO didn't stack. Is that the same for others like shout?

My friend is doing zerker build
20x Howl
19 in Shout
20x BO
1x BC

20x sword or axe
1 in each passive

1 down to ww and zerker w/20 into zerker

I am going to go frenzy
20 in taunt
1 in shout
20 in BO
1 in BC

20 in sword
1 in Iron Skin and NR

20 in DS and Frenzy
1 down to zerker

Should I take the 20 out of BO and put them into zerker? Is 10% magic dmg worth 20 pts? Should I put them into another?

Always max BO regardless of your build. Also, there's no need to put any points into Shout or Iron Skin with a Berskerker since your defense is going to be nil all the time.

As an alternative to putting a point into BC, get a crappy CTA for cheap and keep it on the switch to acquire the skill that way.

We will be in a party most all the time. If he has 20 into BO as it does not stack I fill the points are better else where in my build. As for shout in his build it will buff me and up his dps for zerker.
I know Iron Skin does nothing for him but it does open NR. 1 point spent then + #skills is great. Why not? Free resist!

My question was if he has 20 into BO what should I put those 20 pts into? zerker? It would be pointless if we are going solo together for us to both have 20 into BO. Is 10% magic dmg worth it? I doubt it and that is why I asked.

We are just 2 old friends going to hell together!

why not double swing/throw or even frenzy?
and 1 pt war cry or something?
as a zerker, tank would be nice to have (this is you) especially when IM-ed. So ou can rescue the day by stunning all nearby mobs whiel he clears.

double swing with its fast swings and frenzy with its fast + AR boosting attack allows faster application of CB, ideal for killing bosses, which both zerker and WW lacks.

in short, let him be the buffer (def + life)/DPS and you can be crowd control/tanker and for bosses
