ww barb (bvc) no mana :(

**PoTatoes** · 07-21-2006, 12:18 PM

so i followed a barb guide from d2jsp.org and it was pretty decent til i lvled it to 78 to duel people my lvl. i quickly got pwned pretty bad by my nub friend's barb which has no nigma and uses ss + ebotdcollosussword.

so then i noticed that wenever i tele i lose probably 1/4 of my mana and wen i ww i lose about the same. 2 missed wws and i lose all my mana. any suggestions wat i should do? heres wat i wear and wat my mana is wen i bo...i use griefz + beastz, nigma, full angelics, dracs, gores , and tgods. correct my build if u want so i can be better, but im mainly focusing on wat i should wear for more mana

For bvc you dont really need angelic, i would suggest highlord and stat rings with ar and mana, or raven and stat ring with ar and mana and all the rest.

edit: bvc does not need angelic since most casters have low def. MOST.

use a raven on one and a soj on the other, soj adds 25% mana, also if ur really desperate for mana add some silks, but thats about all i can think of for mana, also if u have problems running out of mana, dont miss haha then u wont run out :P

Dwd wtf soj on bvc? Stat ring adds a lot more mana than soj since barbs have low base mana, besides that you also get other sweet bonuses from it.

This screenshot posts the deafult eq of my eu ladder bvc.

If all of that eq was perfect then that would be the perfect eq a bvc can have.

Explenation for eq choices:

Arreat, gives ar/resi/skills and it's soxed with a ed/ias jool, best would be a resi/ias jool cos ias gives you a extra frame of ias when you are using widow.

Eni is dusk or wyrm depending on if you add some points to str.

Higlord nice light resi/godly deadly strike.

Grief + Beast = most damage a barb can do

Draculs for str and ow, should never be taken off, when you stat your char include the 15 str in your calcs.

Arac to reach the 37% fcr bp, that is needed to catch casters.

Gores are godly for any melee char upped perf gores are even godlier.

Fcr rings
perfect fcr ring for a bvc would be 10fcr/100+ar/80+mana/15%all resi two of those and you are set :)

With that eq you can hit the required fhr bp by adding 4 fhr scs, perfect ones would be 5all resi/5fhr.

The rest of the inv should be filled with max dam gcs +anny+torch and the rest of the space left with 20life/36ar scs, i prefer using this combo over 322s cos you get more ar with your fcr eq.

Hope it helps when making a bvc ^^

Additional Comment:
bvs will always get pwned by a shield barb.

btw the d2jsp guide is little crap, i've had a few people ask for a guide, i'll try to slap one together before i go to bed tonight.

reasons why d2sp guide is not good:
different versions of bvcs exist some use forti/duress and some go for full vita build.

frw skill must be on lvl14 or more at all time for some serious desync.

not all bvcs use hel in widow, i personally prefer using um and some dex eq to boost my dex to the required amount.

not all barbs use dooms cos they don't fit into your chest.

foh eq varies loads, some use resi zerkers some use charm stack, some use ort kiara and so on.

This is a seriously difficult build to make if you are new cos eq largely depends on your play style.

Edit: i really can't be ****ed to write a guide actually, so if there is someone out there interested in starting a guide it would be great, i can add my own experience/suggestions for it.

no answer yet -_- i thought deadlystrike doesnt work in pvp...is that correct? also how da hell would i get those gg fcr + ar + mana rings

**Loits** · 07-22-2006, 06:19 AM

Deadly stike works and i told you to use fcr/ar/mana/resi rings, how is that not a answer to your initial question?

Q: How to get them?
A: I heard that people talk on bnet and they tend to trade.

If you are thinking of making a bvc then you already should have taken init concider that it's going to be a really expencive build to work well, there are no cost/cheap versions.
