I have a lvl82 zealot pumped with good gear and the ONLY chat that owns me in melee is a Conc barb with botd zerker, eth valor, etc. Can someone Tell me how they built Their good conc barb? Thanks

[Silver Ice]

im not expert at a conc barb but i can give it a good guess.
eth glitched 40/15'd arreats
angelic rings n ammy
ebotd zerk or eth death berserker
eth gliched chamed valor or eth glitched bane bered
perfect steelrends
perf % dr verd
upped perfect gore riders.

inventory: 10 wc gcs and 9 3-20-20s, 1 perf stat anni.

skills:
max ->
concentrate
iron skin
shout
battleorders

1 pt into prereq's.
rest into ??? (probly a synergy of conc if there is one)


stats:
str: either enough for gear, or the rest into for more dmg.
dex: enough for max block
vit: all rest, or just a little bit.
energy: none

thats about it. im surprised any conc barb could own a zealot, zeal swings 5x and conc only swings once.

still. zealers can swing 5x in the time a barb only swings once.

but when conc barb's have around 60k def and max block....Its hard to hit them.. Thanks silver for your post

Concentrators have a big strategy their attack cannot be interrupted so zeal could hit but the barb will also get a hit in killing most in one or two hits also with upped defense they can be hard to hit. But ya with concentrate and the items silver mentioned a barb with that could kill in a hit or two.

U mean bugged?
Where's mastery?
Why a little bit lol...

[Kingsrookie]

yea get as much life as you can more the better

[Silver Ice]

ops forgot axe mastery... and use a little vit and a ton of str for pvp. or a lot of vit and barely enough str.

strategy 1 gives, immense dmg, but lower life. good if u can hit first always.
strategy 2 gives, moderate dmg, and higher life. good for pvp+pvm at higher lvls.
