They apparently reworked unique items extensively - I wouldn't count on the ones the guide suggests being present or having the same stats. It'll take a while to rework the guide in light of the extensive changes to the game; until then, we're just going to have to guess at what makes an effective build.

Buy a mystic orb with mana on attack, also Iron spiral should be lvl 6 to avoid having a large mana cost

no updates on gear at the moment. waiting for sigma and will probably then update this guide as whole :)





heyo im just running an iron spiral barb and passed 120 now on kinda endgame areas content.


just using crafted abandoned/ ornate gear got pretty lucky on rolls like everywhere + all skills ncie ar dex and lightning also - lightning damage. using qaraks will wep purify ring. adrenaline ruish and klaatu barada nikto. pretty nice for 120+ but on dunc it seems its only makeable without any leech im just having 333 life after kill from wep and it helps a lot if the monster dies quickly but in 3p+ game or so damage kinda seems lacky. im having with bear stance iron damage up to 7.5k with lion stance im on 8,5k iron but -20 phys and with my current bear im on +21 so for dunc im using bear. now the thing: cause on sigma it seems life leech is really worth now. you mean i shall go for 30%+ leech and then having maybe 200k less defenese? having 12k life and with bear stance 1,4 milion defenese block on 3% signets just 33 thinking on late game for 75 mb with signets putting on strengh for base strengh about 600+ for gear. then all points into dex for like 2000+ dex also to optimizing even better abandoned crafted gear with more ar and dex boni. i would say having 40%+ phys res 10k+ hp and 1 mio + defenese with like 400 life after each kill + shall be enough for survivng well even in 6p + dunc?



just a quick update for my current iron so that u can know maybe when you updating your build for sigma how it seems nowdays with it:D im just knowning me and another friend running iron all other barbs i see run death or summon. but we both stay on pure iron ! :D

quick update:


if you buff yourself with bloodlust proc from qaraks will SU gianz sword. and then switch to the new blade you will have pure + 2k more iron dmg



in base form the new sword gives like 1,5k more iron dmg but when on qaraks will bloodlust is active dmg of both are same

but as i said if you buff first with bloodlust from qarak and then switch to the new sword you will grant an extra +2k cause the bloodlust lvl 36 from qaraks will proc still lasts even if you switch the sword out :D

but the buff from blodlust didnt last so long so id say qaraks will for more survivability and the new sword for more damage but more damage means = less damage taken cause mobs dies earlier but y^^
