Wolfbarbs-The ultimate guide (Revised verson)

Zero-unit said:
I can't tell you the damage with Greid because the mod: "Damage +350-400" is not your average damage modifier. No it's not max damage either, but it did not show any damage improvments when I tried it. I'm sure there's an explanation to what this damage could be.

The damage isn't shown on the char screen but its there all the same.
The 31-35 phase or whatever will act as a ~400-400 damage weapon so here it basically IS an average damage modifier.
 
err to the dude who cant kill no one..
wats ur hp/dmg/def etc
and are u pking only smiters?! cus thers noway to beat a smiter... a decent one anyway (wit melee)

cheers
 
My HP is 5500.
Def: 22K
AR: 19K
Dmg: 961-1165

I duel any Melee. Yet I can't kill any. I don't duel smiters, since I know I have no chance of beating them.

My prebuff gear:

Mara
2xBul Kathos
Dual Hotos
Arach.
 
What kind of charms do you use? Also is your blocking chance corect, your Dexterity doesn't look like it equals 75%. What kind of charms are you using, your life seems a bit low and so does your damage. Tell us a bit more becuase I see no real reason why your losing.

Dr@kE~
 
I'm using assorted Steel Charms and dmg/ar charms. I have a couple of str charms because I can't wear SS yet. My blocking is at 60 I think, beause I didn't put enough in dex, I dumped them all into vit.
 
I am very, very, very sorry I have not replied for a while here. I've been kind of busy. Well I think we figured out why your losing, and its becuase of not using that Stormshield. Althought Vitality is great you want your 75% block. When you can see what happens with the improvements. Once again I am very sorry.

Dr@kE~
 
Oh, its alright. I think you misunderstood from my post, or I was unclear. What I meant was that my inventory was filled with STR charms because I don't have enough to wear my Stormshield. I had 60% block when I wrote the previous post. Here is my current stats:

Life: 5710
Defense: 25K
AR: 30K
Damage: 1173

Prebuff Gears:
2x 30 Res Hotos
2x 5% BK Rings
1x 23 Mara
2x Demon Limbs (40 charges of Enchant)

Duling Gears:
Wofhowl (3/4/5/6)
2010 Superior Archon Plate Stone
4xShael'd Griswold Caduceus
37/15 Verdungos
10/15 Draculs
Gore Rider
Angelics


I am better at duling, but still I loose more than I win, especially against Paladins with Draculs and/or Exile. I'm fine against Paladin until their Life Tap triggers. When it does, I'm finished. Attack Rating is still a problem for me. I CANNOT hit them. With 30k AR, I can't touch them at all, good ones that is. Can you take a look at my Wolf and see what can be improved?

PS. Been trying to get an Ethereal Valor. Too god damn expensive.
 
Well based on your situtation the only problem I can really find is your charms. Usually the ones you want most are any assortments of max/AR/life charms. As for my skills and stats I maxed Mace Mastery, Shout, Battle Orders, Iron Skin, then I split my remains through Increase speed, Battle Command and Natural Resist. As for stat points they were applied to fit my gear they are 124 Strength, 179 Dexterity, 225 Vitality.

Drake your Vit is low, how the hell do you get 8k Life? Are teh "secret ingredient" 32020s? A LOT of 'em? By the way, is your inventory is full of 32020s, how do you get enough STR for your Eth Valor?
 
I do have quite a bit of those, but the way I keep my strength for my items is with my Annihilus, then Wolfhowl usually that gives me what I need for Valor and Stormshield then Steelrends.

Dr@kE~
 
Only if you did not have enough strength to wear your items and got naked in the process then leaving will you lose items. This has happened to be some time ago, but I did not leave. Now I have a bit more strength, the Valor....I think I got it free.

Dr@kE~
 
ugh, that happened to me too about a month or so ago.
Luckily i still have my caster chars, but that wolfbarb was my baby lol

So how are the wolfbarbs doing in melee duels these days? How are they doing after the new runewords released?
 
I'm not sure anymore. Versus other melee classes we should do just fine, however..The Paladins can give a beat down, could you picture a Paladin with a 8/4 frame Zeal doing 10k damage with 100% deadly strike? Far too much I say. Despite that we are still strong!

Dr@kE~
 
We are still strong.

Update on my Wolfbarb. (OMG He pwns.)

3/5/6/6 Wolfhowl
2k Stone (Defensive) / Duress (Offensive)
4xShael Griz Caddy
Shael'd SS
Gore
Dracs
Dungos
Angelics

Prebuff
2x 5%Bul Kathos
Mara
2x Hotos
Arach

27K AR
7K Life
1.2K Dmg

I own a good number of melee duelers. The only kind I can't beat is pallies with mad taps. I can't kill them fast enough and they hit me once they're fullyhealed. Are there any strategy against them?

How'd you get 1.2k damage with a shaeld caddy? Was this with or without enchant/duress? I dunno if the +10-20%dmg on the duress does much but it should increase it a little bit.
 
Combat Shrine AR Boost

Hi,
Dont know if any of you have checked your AR after hitting a Combat Shrine with your Wolfbarb. I hadnt until the other day, and was amazed by its effects, Godly Attack Rating.

I had to do a bit of testing after id seen this and strangley it seemed that enchanting didnt increase my AR any further, anyone know a reason for this? (or perhaps i was being a bit dumb, and had already enchanted).

Anyway if anyones interested my setup is:

Pre-Buff:
Wolfhowl 3/6/6
2 x Hoto
2+ Arky Valour
2 x BK ring
Bugged Nosferatus Coil
Demon Limb for Enchant prior to Shift

Versus Melee:
Eth Wolfhowl 3/6/4 [59x def] [zod]
Gris Caddy [4 x Shael]
SS [Shael]
Duress Archon [13xx def]
Angelic Amu and 2 x Rings
Gore Riders
Draculs
Verdungo's

Versus Caster:
2 x BK ring
Mara Amu [30]
Bugged Nos Belt
Gris Caddy
Wizard Spike [unsocketed]
Guardian Angel [unsocketed]

Charms:
Anni 16/18/10
30 x 3/20/20 sc
4 x 5/5 ALL RES/FHR sc
1 x 15/8 Fire Res/FHR lc

Anyone (Drake?) got any suggestions on areas for improvement? do you think a 2k stone armour will help much against other barbs or palas? , and what should I do with the open sockets i have.

N.B. This is NL btw so no Fortitude Armours just yet!!

Without Combat Shrine my AR is in region of 26-33K depending setup
Without enchant AR in region of 18k and Dmg 1.8k (I think)
