Spear Whirlwinder?

[xenn2600]

I've seen Barbs with dual eth BoTD Collosus Blades and ITD weapons..
Anyone think it would be a good idea to max out Spear Mastery and use 2x eBoTD War Pikes? Much higher damage but about 200 less minimum damage.. This or one eBoTD War Pike and one Arioc's Needle...

And can you even wield two spears at once? I've never made a Spear Barb

You can't use 2 spears.

I've had a spear ww'er before. Lots of range and damage. No defense.

[[The Reaper]]

Yeah, you can't. From what I've seen, the best barb combo is beast zerk+eth botd zerk

Spear Barbarians can be quite good, assuming you play the right way. You have longer range than virtually everyone else, but you need to use that. Never get to close your opponent, or you will get hit, and probably die.

You also don't want a War Pike, it's too slow to hit the last breakpoint (even with 60% Increased Attack Speed). Only a Ghost Spear, Giant Thresher and Great Poleaxe have 6 sockets, are range 5 and still fast enough to hit the last breakpoint (the later two being polearms).

Trust me...all weap/shield can own weap/weap barbs...
Charger namelock bam ure dead...

I personally never liked doom/botd or beast/botd...no shield=owned easily

[TuNa-FisH_SuShI]

beast/ebotd + A TON OF AR = no need sheild always hits
if your gunna make a spear person go charger pally owns all casters (charge in with salvation and right b4 you hit change to fant then change back to salvation) you should do over 30k+ damage with a charger and a nice ebotd spear

beast/botd does have a lot of ar and hit 95% of the time...but dun forget...he ALWAYS gets hit...
