Did some cow runs in 1.07 to finish leveling my barb from 84-85. Threw on arkaine's valor, 2x GF swords and a mix of life charms (leaving lots of space) and that gave me 8k+ life using arreat's instead of shako
council dies very fast so I'm not sure I'll need to switch to BK set but I'll mess around with both...
I found I need a source of mana leech so one of my rings is manald heal :/ Hopefully blood rings can spawn with mana leech and i'll get one of those sometime...
res and everything is very low but I'm missing 2x anya quest. I also have almost 20 points unspent and I'm not sure what to do with them. I have max WW, sword mastery and BO, and 1 pt wonders in most things, including frenzy for running fast.
Max zerk? pump nat res or incr speed? I really don't know.
I also have a technical question: will battle cry overwrite the effect I gain from Arreat's face (15% target's defense)? Will arreat's make battle cry NOT effect def? Hmm
I know most people don't use a merc but I'm trying to think of a (safe) use for one in 1.07 on a trav barb. I'm thinking an amp dmg bow-wielding rogue with either guillame's face (dmg) or blackhorn's (survival). Maybe valk wing for frw/ias
4x shae in amp dmg bow.. think about it
and imagine it also adds poison dmg or something neat (would require larzuk socketing)
