Lvl 29 Barb build recommendations |
|
I am the student, you are the master's, can you help?
If you were to build a lvl 29 Barb, what stats and skills would you use and what items for gear?
Any help is appreciated, thank you....

The only decent lvl 29 conc barb I've seen on west used a carrion grinder (duped classic battle hammer) so it doesn't really count.
I would suggest the following: (should be effective and relatively easy to find)
(Also, according to http://diablo2.ingame.de/tips/calcs/weaponspeed.php?lang=english there is no difference between 30 ias and 50 ias so you can substitute twitchthroe for maybe a max dmg armor or rockfleece or stealth armor vs casters or something)
'Honor' Knout
Twitch (see above)
Whitstans
Peasent Crown or Max dmg helm
Angelic rings + ammy
Deaths gloves/belt
Sanders boots
Then slap on a bunch of frw charms (for casters) and whatever max dmg and/or life charms you can get.
For skills, I would do something like this:
1 Howl
1 Shout
6 BO
7 Mace Mastery
1 Inc. Stamina*
1 Inc. Speed*
1 Iron Skin
1 Bash
1 Stun
12 Concentrate
*By doing this, you would add ~22% FRW which may or may not be worth it when dueling casters, it's up to you. If you choose to not put those 2 pts into those skills, then put them into Mace Mastery.
Stats should be enough str to equip, enough dex for max block, rest in vit, none in nrg...since conc doesn't take a lot of mana and angelics give dmg to mana so you should be fine.

Wouldn't it be better to substitute whitsan's and death's sash/gloves for Rhyme, SoE and Bloodfists? I'm trying to build a conc barb myself and I have basically the same idea as you. Oh, and I use CK boots instead of sander's. Is that alright? Or should I just carry everything and keep swapping vs different kinds of chars? -.-

If you want to lose speed and spend more points in dexterity but gain damage reduce, then rhyme/soe/bloods is ok. Whitstans/deaths is just a nice overall good choice, especially with all the fast-hitting zealots around...
But either route is viable.
And I always go with sanders nowadays because 25-35 fire dmg or whatever it is on CK = next to nothing now, and sanders has 100 ar to make up for the stats you lose by not wearing CK.

Sure, if you like 3000 def.....

I'm replying with a question..
What real benefit does the + def conc gives, if its worn out after you hit them? When you hit them it normally interrupts it, doesn't it?
You could probably easily get 11000 def with a conc barb on conc, but with out your looking 3-4k..
Sorry for my flame there, I may have been a tad flawed.

Try using a defence barb on a caster, smiter, charge strike zon, psn dagger necro, etc etc and see what they think...
