Well making a frenzy barb, useast non-ladder sc. No, I am not making a concentrate, berserk, whirl, not changing my mind. I want a frenzy. Why? I kicked dclones ass with it, then proceeded to kick about 5 other peoples ass at the same time, without ever using a pot once, and then ran from stoney field to akara in about :snaps: that much time.. and it was a blast. I play d2 to have fun.. wait.. ANYWAY Anybody have a successful strat? I dont know if I'm supposed to synergy frenzy, leave standalone, and boost def/resist skills, much less speed/stamina (i doubt i'll boost those even if you tell me to.. no need), sword mastery.. ya know, whatever. Anyone got a good guide, updated? |

Well, the items arn't a problem, at all. I just dont know the skill buildup.. I know the synergies of frenzy, but my friend has one.. godly.. and hes only got 1 point in it. I just don't know... |

| Frenzy is a fun move to mess around with. I would never max it out though because I do not know anyone who has made a good frenzy barb besides you. |

alright lets see how this setup works.... max frenzy max sword mastry max double swing for synergy max battle order 1 point into bezerk 1 point into battle command 1 point into increased stamina 1 point into increased speed 1 point into iron skin 1 point into natural res this should add up to 91 skill points rest up to u... i threw them into natural res cause like pharismo said they do die alot in hell and i was gettin pissed so now he dies much less in hell with all the res. another thing is items....since frenzy barbs are sword sword and have no shield high life leech and damage reduce are needed to counter the dmg taken some good items i reccomend are... - helm 8/8/25 chamd gaze (cham cause u only have armor and helm now to socket for cannot be frozen and cant use ravens) - indestructable swords... i use cham gf and doombringer gf for dmg cham to freeze target. doomy has lifeleech and casts weaken often since u hit so fast... i used to have Fbbs but they break way too often and cost about 1million to repair...  - ammy is tough one....cresent moon is good cause it has a ton of leech but there are so much better ammys out there that are needed...mine uses...god i forget it is one of those godly rare ammys that was massivly duped in 09 - rings i use dual c grips cause leech is incrediable...but if u dont have those i suggest bk rings - armor is critical..u need somethin that has alot of defence to take hits but also has absorb. i use a valor.. there are probily much better stuff out there but my barb was a 09 child and i havent changed him much - gloves i use hellmouths for now but crafted gloves are nice...ias and leech are always good on gloves - boots gore riders...they have open wounds, crusing blow, and deadly strike...good combination of mods - belt 8/15 string of ears.... it has lifeleech and damage reduce needed charms: FHR charms are needed. unlike a ww barb that yes is close to enemy...the ww takes them away enough to heal. when your frenzy your up and in the enemys face and faster hit recovery will help u hit back when he hits u. also maybe a few r/w charms and res charms...skill charms are up to u merc: i like the a3 cold merc..it freezes so much for me while i kill. but a1 at high lvls are so powerful when rightly equiped this is the setup i use on my frenzy barb and he seems to do ok. hope was a help to u logic and anyone else that is makin a frenzy barb.. if anyone has any suggestions that would think would make my barb better im very open to suggestion thanks |

why dont u use dual shaeffers???? or 1shaeffer and something else?? shaeffer has static that will help u alot |

Damage on shaefers and speed don't compete. Sure could use what that ammy is. What about iron skin.. since you dont have a shield.. |
| Posted By proach77 on 2/11/04 @ 10:55:50 AM |

iron skin might be helpful but usually since u have valor and decent amt of dr from items i went for natural res case things like the scarbs in a2 and stuff in a5 are so impossible with low res and no shield... ...i totally forget ammys name...i know where i might have a spare..just maybe..if not i have a realy nice crafted one...in 09 i think there were 3 godly ammys that were massivly duped...arm fletch was one...imp brow was another...and the third i forget and i think thats the one on my barb *edit* forgot to also add to pharismo....i read that in 1.10 that static was like 75% less efective to all end bosses and like mini-bosses (smith, izzy, raddy, etc) so even tho the 50 - 2 or 3 hundred lite dmg is good, logic is right that its speed and dmg dont quite match up...although i almost made him a frenzy mallet barb |

| kool what do you use Frenzy Barbarians for PvP or PvM ?? |
| Posted By TFC_GeneralKMK on 2/15/04 @ 12:41:32 PM |
| from what i read it could be both prob just depends on ur pref |

Yes, they can be used for both. There not the best for melee duels because you have no shield.. but if you have your stuff right then once you hit someone.. they won't be able to hit you back. Also.. on my frenzy.. i'v decided to syngergize berserk.. so I can use a shield/wep and melee that way/get immunes easier. I'v leveled like a mad whore (24 hrs of game play, lvl 80) and Im doing hell with no problems whatsoever, minions. I'v got basically godly gear though... Using dual DB's (until 81, then a DB/GF) a cham'd gaze, shaftsop until 85, then valor, highlords wrath, string, corruptionrings, hellmouth, gore riders. |

| What would you use for PvP then ?? |
| Posted By proach77 on 2/17/04 @ 5:19:34 PM |
| ive had my frenzy barb for a while, early 09, and ive come to conclude...they are good pvpers..lol...the only time youll get a good duel out of a frenzy barb is when fighting another frenzy barb...no shield means ouch....everyother char either is distance or has a shield and is hard to catch up to....another thing is that frenzy dosent actually enable until you hit somethin...which means that you are at your original r/w and ias speed until you hit something. This is also a problem especially when dueling sorcs, bowazons, necros, ele druids, trappers, anything with distance. As for other melee...they all have shields. So to be a good pvp you need to have very expencive gear with a combo of high def/life/lifetap a ton of dmg (dual eth botd cbs) and alot of FHR. In 09 frenzy barbs were much better duelers seeing as how life/mana leech actually worked in duels so u just throw a gaze, bks and a string and you were good to go...now u need lifetap, high def and good weps...so if u can get those...u might be able to stand a chance...other then that they are just a fun char and a really good pvm. |
