1.07 News, Info and Gossip

2x GF WW barb with 1 pt zerk (maybe 2 points?) max WW, mastery, find item and the rest mostly in nat res to help with conviction. max BO ofc and stats are mostly VIT with some extra str (enough for cranium basher or close?)

Arreat's helm, Arkaine's, HLW (? I haven't even looked at my amulet in ages but this seems logical), 2x 20%+ leech rings with lres, LoH, mav's belt, nat boots (I think). My switch is wizzeh + ali baba (2x lem) for faster hork + better loot. I used to use gull before recently finding ali baba. Shae in weps.

I do use a rogue merc with 120% ias 15% tal's armor, 45% valk wing and 60% in crafted safety wep with ctc amp dmg. The rogue not only procs amp occasionally (a good map helps this happen more often) but if I have a council member approach her she can usually tank it and kill it herself. Only conviction kills the rogue and even then not very often, with a good map. Both the res and mdr on tal's is super important imo. A few points of mdr in the wep is also a great help which is why I settled on safety crafts. If you want to see the craft remind me later to post a readout :p

What is the recipe for the leech rings? And what character level to use?
Also I assume GF = Grandfather? What are the stats in 1.07?

One of my leech rings is ilvl 57, and the other is ilvl99 (I think I've read that this is just a crafting glitch or something)

You'll probably get a handful of BK swords in the process of trying to rack two of those... and they make great merc weps thanks to CB + res iirc (ofc GF is way better since it boosts their abysmal life by about 50%...)
 
According to several of the 1.07 guides (yiuman's certainly) dual wielding doesn't use the second weapon.

Why use two weapons then? Or is the damage not nerfed for using a 2h sword in one hand or something?
 
I was unaware of that, and don't know if it's true or not. I feel like I have tested this or read the opposite but can't remember.

A second sword still boosts life and stuff by a lot... and others used BK set which thrives on the set bonus, at worst.
 
There could be some truth to it. From the 1.08 patch notes:

Barbarian
- Whirlwind now alternates between two weapons when using two-weapon style.

And

- When using two-handed attacks the speed of both weapons are averaged.
 
Maybe in 1.07 both weapons hit at the same time ^^ or some weird thing. Or the BK set bonus is just goooood.

I remember frozzzen tested using just the big BK sword vs using the set and that the set won. I believed the guy.
 
I've read that racking in 1.08 is at least as good as it is in 1.07 (with the increase in unique drops probably better), but does anyone know this for sure? I was never very lucky racking in 1.07, but 1.08 have been a complete disaster. I've spent the last eight hours game time rack-running and I've got a total of four sets and a unique. I never took notice of the amount of time I spent rack-running in 1.07, but the time I've spent in 1.08 must be rapidly approaching it and my total finds so far are about a dozen sets and two uniques. Add this to the almost total lack of rares, just one in eight hours, and surely there's something going on. Could I possibly be that unlucky?
 
The racks may be less stable in 1.08 (I'm not sure about this) but otherwise it just sounds like bad luck/paying more attention to duration
 
After I get my barb through Hell Ancients he will about level 53. I can equip BK Set at clvl76.
What weapons do I use until then?
 
Hi nulio. Back from travels?

Also: Can I kill Cow King in 1.07?

And: How far does barb need to be in the game to enter cows? Patriarch?

Hey! Yeop.

You can. IIRC you need to open the Cow TP with a char (that never killed cow king) and then leave the game. No need to worry about hosting char. But I haven't went for burgers in a while so I don't remember very well.

Pat indeed.
