[Guru]

realm doesnt have much to do with anything....but if thats for pvp, you're missing a stormshield and have one to many beasts. If it's for pvm, you're missing frenzy

 

[Cell]

well its a double axe barb.. no shield required... the shout and bo will cover the dmg wont it? i kill b4 i die wont i? besides beast gives fant ^^ i think thats a big help aint it?

 

[Guru]

shout and bo will only take you so far. you'd be fine vs casters, but vs a zon or melee character, you'd get smoked without a shield. Kill before you did isn't as easy as it sounds, thats why frenzy doesnt get past a lvl 50 in pvp

 

[irdamage]

no doubts ditch the beats get the ss

 

[Cell]

I have a ber ss in my stash i can always switch right? but am sayin this barb owned 4 games i followed... so i was jus wondering... you think with my gears i can have 75+ resist in hell? for casters? with high def i can take dmg cant i?

 

[Guru]

Resist, maybe....damage, no.

Def doesn't - Damage. Only Damage Reduction does. Defence just reduced the chance you will actually get hit by a monster.


For Elemental Damage, Absorbs/resistances.
For Physical Damage, Damage Reduction is the only way to effectively reduce damage.

I think frenzy will work better =/

 

[Cell]

damn.. i read somewhere that def takes away damage done to u... so i be better of with a ebotd zerk and a ss? what can i do about my reist problem i have horrible reist and no room for reist gc/sc

 

[Guru]

why dont you have room for resist charms? Be sure to do anya, put a point into nat resist, use arreats and SS. You can always um the ss/arreats for an additional 37 resists. Adds some shimmering charms and you will be maxed out

What are you looking at for stats on this barb? I'd think you would need to have a crapload of Dex for AR.

 

[Guru]

Dex isn't a good source of AR, all you need in it is enough for max block. If you are dueling a high defense pally/barb use angelic combo

[Kao]

But is the gold worth it? That's what you need to be considering here.

 

[Jason]

Yes..it is..especially if you need to repair items. :O

 

[Kao]

And that's where gold-finding sorcies come in
