1.10 zerk/frenzy barb

**Mystic** · 07-30-2003, 09:40 AM

yet another guide made by /VystiÇ:

i find that some ppl underestimate zerk, most ppl only use it as a "finishing move" that they mearly use 2 finish a highly weakend monster.

to make a nice frenzy/zerk barb u should....
1. max zerk
2.max frenzy
3.max a mastery of ur choice
4. 5 howl
5.10 double swing
6.10 shout
7.10 increased speed
8. ne xtra points into iron skin

the barb that results from this is very nice because the 2 main

skills, frenzy and zerk, add dmg 2 each other and the other skills

buff up each of the primary skills.i would put the mastery points

into sword mastery because zerk should b used with a 2 handed

weapon so the damage is higher, another reason 4 the sword

mastery is because there r many good swords 4 frenzy like a gf

or call to arms runeword sword, thus making it so u can put a

single sword on 1 slot and placing 2 on the other 4 frenzy. the

good thing about this is that u dont have 2 spread mastery

points so u can do more dmg. i also recomend hex resistance

charms 2 reduce the dmg u take from both physical and magical

dmg alike.good equipment 2 use is ias gear beacuse it alows u to

dish out ur dmg more quicky, this helps excpecially with zerk

because ur time is of value due 2 the fact that zerk hits 1

targeted enemy so u need 2 kill and kill fast.

P.S if u would like some of the hex resistance charms PM me and i can give u around 15 per person:

but u will say bye bye to a zon if she jabs u so i think WW is da best :P

**Mystic** · 08-06-2003, 07:40 AM

that may b so but with the hexs the dmg u take will b very slim shile wut u dish out will win u the duel.

what can i say MAX SM MAX ww MAX Ispd MAX cons and add the rest of the points where ever U want

cant trust WW sometimes. it might set you up to a quick death. cause if they move and put plague java, trap or even a ranged attack they're screwed when they stop. then there's a high lvl iron maiden that would do it too.

**AngryIdiot** · 08-15-2003, 01:22 AM

Well, I think PvP is where you can't trust WW, But in some other cases WW is best you just gotta use it at the right time.

**trayne** · 08-15-2003, 01:24 AM

doesnt help with 1.10 since the barb stops and spins again when attacked. they added a pause in the WW. and its heck if your in a bonewall and under iron maiden.

**AngryIdiot** · 08-15-2003, 01:42 AM

Damn! That makes WW almost crap against groups and some use against one. :

**Mystic** · 08-15-2003, 04:35 AM

which brings in frenzy :

:

:innocent: and zerk ^^

**trayne** · 08-15-2003, 05:07 AM

zerk when used drops defense and resists in 1.10. defense drops to zero so you have no defenses when it swings, making you open for a quick kill. frenzy can be stoped with an aura or a curse no prob. best to make a frenz/howling barb.

**Mystic** · 08-15-2003, 05:17 AM

well if u hit them with zerk 1st.........( :innocent: ..... :

)

**trayne** · 08-15-2003, 05:18 AM

depends on if you can get close enough to hit them. or if they let you hit them when they have thorns on or ironmaiden casted on you.

**AngryIdiot** · 08-15-2003, 06:27 AM

Ah crap... 1.10 gonna be hard for me to get used to. :

**Mystic** · 08-15-2003, 10:33 AM

1. simply use leap 2 get close
2. zerk is a magic attack so madien dont work

**trayne** · 08-16-2003, 01:43 AM

maiden works on zerk. maiden only doesnt work on missile attacks. leap keeps you open for attack when you have to click on the spell to use it.

**Mystic** · 08-16-2003, 06:43 AM

then set it 2 a button

**trayne** · 08-16-2003, 06:45 AM

in 1.10 leap pauses for a moment. with that moment they can use a high lvl attack and do a half life attack or a 1 hit kill.

**Mystic** · 08-16-2003, 06:51 AM

then wut do u recomend we use o wise 1 :blink:

**Strongzon** · 08-16-2003, 09:54 AM

oh man barb is going to be real hard cause WW is so useless........................oh wise 1, plz tell us wat the do....................................

**trayne** · 08-16-2003, 10:22 AM

the new druid helm. when turned in werewolf form the pause in ww vanishes. so try werewolf form then use WW. for a triple shot attack, use a sword in 1 hand and a legendary mallet in the other. computer source in the game will automatically do a 50/50 ds/cb without having ds or cb. its one of the bugs in beta :
