IBagboyBrownI wrote:Ok so I got a Barb. Assume no gear. Assume no idea what build actually works. Tried iron spiral, throw, even bow barb. Still getting rolled over.
I have a fully upgraded class charm and a few uber charms (the easiest of the easy) but everything does so much damage.
What is actually a good barb build? I'm not above grinding for T6 gear or even making honorifics. At this point I just want a character I can actually play.
How's your AR? You can't leech or cb something without hitting it first.
Are you holding wolf aura 24/7 or losing it 24/7? Your defense is crap without wolf bonus unless you're bear stance.
Are you using run mode = defense 0, or walk mode?
Are your items MOed?
Are you using merc?
Are you using switch weapon slot for 2x

or koth + tslam?
Are you using too many runewords on a runemaster barb?
Are you following a guide from chucknoris?
It sounds like you're doing something fundamentally wrong and switching builds instead of fixing the problem. Very few things in the game require respec (bowazon ureh).

Those gloves are like going out of your way to gimp your character in comparison to
