Stuck in Hell on my Frenzy Barb
Hey all, I'm a pretty new player, but I consider myself quite skilled in the game as of yet. I do not play on battle.net currently but plan to create my new character on there. Currently I have a level 70 Frenzy Sword Barbarian and just beat Nightmare difficulty today and have started Act I in Hell on single player solo. It...is....very....hard....
Here is my current talent set up:
Warcries:
Howl: 1
Shout: 1
Find Potion: 1
Find Item: 1
Taunt: 1
Battle Orders: 14
Battle Command: 1
Combat Mastery
Sword Mastery: 16
Increased Stamina: 1
Increased Speed: 1
Iron Skin: 1
Natural Resistance: 3
Combat Skills:
Bash: 1
Leap: 1
Double Swing: 9
Double Throw: 1
Stun: 1
Concentrate: 1
Frenzy: 20
Berserk: 2
His Stats With Gear are:
Strength: 120
Dexterity: 88
Vitality: 251
Energy: 10
HP W/Battle Orders: 2251
Defense: 2707 W/Shout
His Current Gear:
Main Hand: Ginther's Rift (Dmg 27-74)(30% + Attack Speed)(112% Enhanced Dmg)(50-120 Magic Damage)(Magic Damage Taken Reduced by 12)(Auto Repair)
Off Hand: Ripsaw (Dmg 16-42)(85% Enhanced Damage)(15 to Maximum Damage)(6% Mana Steal)(80% Open Wounds)
Helm: Tal Rasha's Horadric Crest (103 Armor)(10% Life Steal)(10% Mana Steal)(45 Defense)(60 Life)(30 Mana)(15 All Resistances)
Breastplate: Duriel's Carapace (688 Armor)(86 Defense)(15 Strength)(69 Life)(50 to Frost Resist)(20 to All Other Resists)(Cannot be Frozen)
Gloves: Venom Grips (111 Defense)(60 Poison Damage DoT)(5% Life Steal)(5% Crushing Blow)(6 to Maximum Poison Resist)(30 Poison Resist)(154% Enhanced Defense)(Deals 3 poison damage per hit)
Boots: Waterwalk (111 Def)(20% Faster Run/Walk)(191% Enhanced Def)(100 to Missle Defense)(60 Life)(15 Dexterity)(40 Stamina)(50% + Stam Recovery)(5% Fire Resist)
Belt: Ocher War Belt of Wealth (15% Lightning Resist)(69% More Gold)
Amulet: Eagle Collar Amulet (1 Max Damage)(23 attack rating)(4 life)(6% Lightning Resist)(8% Magic Find)(1 Light Radius)
Ring 1: Corruption Master (88 Attack Rating)(4 Str)(8% Lightning Resist)(2 Magic Damage Taken Reduced)(7% Magic Item)
Ring 2: Skull Knot Ring (1 to Maximum Damage)(88 to Attack Rating)(36 mana)(14% Lightning Resist)(-2 Damage Taken)
Obviouslly, my gear is not the best. It is all gear I've managed to pick up solo from Normal and Nightmare Play throughs. I like to think my Breastplate and its freeze immunity is my best piece. Both my weapons and gloves/boots are uniques and not terrible but are becoming outdated(I've had them for awhile and cant find anything better, either what I find sucks or my stats dont allow for my useage do to so many stat points in vitality).
My rings, amulet, and belt are TERRIBLE, but I have yet to find better as well.
I massacred Baal and his minions on Nightmare - easy - no problem AT ALL. I got hyped for Hell..then I realized a single Hell Zombie did 10 fold Nightmare Baal's damage and had probably 10% of his life... I had trouble completing the Den of Evil and barley managed Blood Raven so far...I take so much damage and it takes me eons to dish it out.
As far as my skills go, I took one in find item to use on super uniques and is how I found my Duriel's Carapace in fact. I consider it nice even though most builds exclude it. I decided to go into Berserk for a better and more consistant source of magic damage for PI's....too bad I just learned about PIs in Hell and how common they are lol.
Any advice on how I can push through hell or easily obtain gear upgrades reliably in some fashion? Or am I basiiclly FUBARED on this character?
