The Classic Speeder Guide!!!

First off, a speeder is a barb that runs fast as f**k to kill people. Imo this is the funnest barbarian build in d2 and a must try for any player.

Gear:

Blinkbats for armor. This gives increased speed and 40 fhr, as well as 50%
defense against missiles, which vs any caster or in cs is a big help.

Highest damage lance you can afford. You don't have to use lances, but its a good choice. -req is nice :wink:

Full Irathas Set. This set gives amazing resistance and although you sacrifice the use of angelics jewelry, its a good choice to use.

Rare boots with 30 faster walk/run, and resistances

two rare rings with resistance (or if you can afford, sojs)

Now for Stats:

Str: as usual, only put as many as you need into strength. Lances have high requirements so like i said before it will be best to get one with - requirements

Dex: Exact same as above

Vit: Res goes here

Ene: NOTHING!!!!!!

Skills:
20 whirlwind
20 battle orders
1 shout
1 battle command
around 12 into increased speed
rest into natural resistance and stone skin


Thanks for reading, have fun :thumbup:
 
Re: The Classic Speeder Guide!!!

So just a suggestion, if you do plan on going with blinkbat maybe you should make sure to have fhr on the boots. Just to hit the 48 faster hit recovery break point, 5 frames per second.

About the spear mastery, if you decide to go lance then it's spear mastery. Lance is an exceptional spear class, http://classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/exceptional/spears.shtml .

I personally decided to use Full iratha set ( http://classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/sets/sets3.shtml#irathas ) with Rattle Cage armor ( http://classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/normal/uarmor.shtml ) and Goblin Toe Boots ( http://classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/normal/uboots.shtml ). Rare rings with life leech and atleast 100 attack raiting. Resists, life and other stats are a plus.

My set up gives you a 50% crushing blow status, it has killed all sorts of characters. Although it will always lose against pure barb vs barb.

Might want to use Woestave also.
