I got bored during the offseason of Median Sigma so I decided to play with a magic missiles barbarian

Gear and skills are shown in the video

This build is very far from being optimized, my damage is actually less than other Magic Missile builds with only level 70 MM.
I was just goofing around to kill time and thought I'd show what a barbarian could do as a caster.

Forgive my terrible playstyle and the video itself. After all these years I'm still awful at XML and this is my first show case video


Just doing a tiny piece of dunc and fauzt since we all know what it's like.
No need sitting through an entire run of each



This video is just to show how well he can just sit there and let the punches roll

it doesn't look bad at all . the clear speed is ok . :thumb:

i've usualy played the barb mages based on Fire/cold/poison oskills over the years , but Magic missiles seams to be all right too in Sigma . it looks like a good moment to go for a Balefire->Magic missiles build , so i think i'll play one this week :D

You probably still do more damage though haha
Your MM level is much lower but you keep up with my numbers.
Not to mention your 5frame cast speed beats out my 7frame by a little more than 28%

It really does come down to damage vs tankiness.
Damage wise you beat me for sure

Btw you can replace the rings with rares +1 skills and 20% p/m dmg for even moar dmg, at the cost of spicy procs lol.


Yeah rare rings can get up to 30% with a good roll and lucky oil.
Unfortunately the only rare rings I've come across are garbage

The procs are pretty sick since shuriken flurry helps take down Hardliners. Those bastards insta die on every other build but Nooooo on the barb they take a month to kill :bounce:

2x black hand sigil rings are also worth taking into consideration
