1.12 PVP Wolfbarb

[vknez]

I beg to differ, it has pretty good structure and makes an easy read.

I was also thinking that enigma might be a good choice of armor, let's you stat more to vita and gives some frw on top of 2 skills and some dr%.

I also agree that maxing natural resistance is a waste of skill points. The diminishing returns hit hard.

enigma can be option but fortitude almost doubles wolfbarbs damage, gives resists, chilling armor for extra defence and +5 % max light res

I guess you need all the ed% you can get given the fact you only have wolf attacks.

i though he was refering to dr % which pvp chars look for
i admit i was wrong :grin:

yeap, since you get only mastery and low feral rage (and str)

To add something constructive to the discussion, here are a couple of links pertaining to attack speeds for a barbarian in wolfform. Here's a simple explanation of how to use the Wereform IAS/FHR calculator, and here is a little lengthier discussion about different weapons and there respective fpa.

Yea the DR on Fort isn't really that great =D but it does have some so I mention it. You can hit the max DR with dungos and Stormshield. As for ravens and doom. I have a doom that I use occasionally though I've found that it's pretty easy to kill most zons in pubs w/o using Doom, which is BM anyway. I also suggest using ravens though I've always had AR troubles when I'm not using angelics set. I usually use angelics and 1 raven for cbf.

In terms of FHR boots, hitting 42% is really good enough since it hits 4 frames though getting 86% is fantastic for 3 frames which can be done using shadowdancers. I have a lot of FHR charms personally.

I haven't really had that much trouble against any barb I've faced, but I guess perhaps out of the many that I have faced none of them were GG enough to be considered real BvCs. How does your wolfbarb hit 10k life? I'm always looking for improvements on my own.

Aha, it's ve-e-ry important not to miss the Details. Like the % thing after DR.
A tiny pro for the Fortitude is the Chilling Armor - when struck by Missile, Chilling Armor indicates where it comes from (with exceptions of Homing Missiles perhaps).

...

Nope. Thorns aura is heavily Nerfed in PvP. In a case where you've already taken your Opponent to like 1 HP it may help you perhaps, Killing him when he/she Hits you. Otherwise not.

Hammerdin- you're pretty much dead. I've tried widowmaker and found that it's decently effective against most pub hammerdins, but GG hammerdins will still waste you.

couldnt u spare one point in leap attack and just jump right at him
