Wand/Stave Barb
Normally I would put this in the barb forum but I don't need a bunch of people telling me I need this gear and these charms and what not. Back when I used to be a member of cattle.net I saw a few barbs using wands as weapons. I never actually fought with them but I'm pretty sure the wands were there main weapons. I dismissed it at the time but now I'm quite interested in the idea. Are wands and staves viable as weapons. Unfortunatly I know nothing of the "build" but this is what I can speculate:
1. Too often I've found wands/staves with godly mods that would go great on a melee weapon. With this build I could actually use these weapons to some affect.
2. Mace mastery works with both so the damage shouldn't be too pitifull ( nevermind I'm sure it will) Does strength rw work with wands? Conc seems like a good way to go since BO is a synergy for it. I guess I'll have a might merc but even then I don't know if a wand or staff (excluding ribby and other uniques) exists that could even get me to 300 damage which brings me to...
3. After looking at this thread taunt and battle cry would atleast keep me alive and maxed the would be good synergies for warcry. A singer seems like a decent idea but I don't know how they play and I want the weapons to be at the center of the build.
I don't really have any other ideas. Normally I find barbs to be rather boring but this idea really interests me and I'd love to hear what you guys think.
