Starting this thread in hopes of helping and getting help for newer players since we are short on build guides currently. Personally I've only ever played Melee barbs so I will do my best to offer advice for those with such questions.

As the start of the thread I'll go first.

https://tsw.vn.cz/acc/char.php?name=Immortal_Hulk

I'd been running 0 vit, str to equip and max Dex for extra block chance with high armor. With 3 items booting lion stance my damage was good enough to breeze through 1-119 and all ubers on the way. I bounce between Ancient Hand and Deathgaze for attacking while dropping down fortresses and T Slams for crowd control, occasionally swapping to bear stance when I need that extra defense/dr. Now at 120 I am hitting a wall so I shifted my dex into Vit to boost my hp from 8k to 15k while only losing ~9% block. Still need to cube a pair of TU light gauntlets to replace my dex craft honorific. Once I finish making changes to my build I plan on attempting the 120 Ubers again tonight and I will reply with how things go.

But please throw any criticism at me that you may have as well!

@Mods, If this is determined to be the inappropriate location for such a thread please do move or delete it and I apologize. I've been playing on and off since some time before ver 1.99 and thought with the intro and drastic changes of Sigma this would be a chance for me to contribute a useful thread to the community. Thank you guys for all your work and development of this game!

I have a trap rat. He's a humble fellow. 121, most 115 charms, I think no 120 charms, struggles with basically everything because the emerald set is garbage.

So I swap gear. Get some more runewords, whatever, doesn't matter. The only way you'll be able to do anything now is if you have on striking procs and reanimates. Even then she's a crap shoot. I need to get a flying saucer in order to test a synergy with coldhunger and see if that makes any difference but I'm sure it won't matter on bosses.

Also, screw Quov Tsin. Spams an endless beam of bullshit from off the screen and you cant even get close enough to attack him. I also hate that rats need to stand still for what seems like foreeeeeever to use quill rain. Which is a projectile, not a spell. You'd think ias would help with this, but I have well over 300% I'm sure and it ain't make no damn nevermind.

He melts any summons u throw out so that doesn't matter either. The only way to get close to him is get gear with %max resists but most of that is only trash ud use for that specific fight. I ain't tryna invest in shit I'm gonna wear for 1 boss.

When you say most things I know that doesn't include legacy of blood, vanity, quov tsin, therul, or even azmodan and BPR without dying multiple times over, but I'm sure the list doesn't stop there.

It's a cool story though. Guy asks for help and if you offered a little more, you'd almost have offered nothing.

I'm playing a dagger / shield necro with Carnage as my main skill; I one pointed into parasite and maxed out other stuff.
My setup is:

Embalming - Max
Talon's Hold - Max
Elemental Flayers - 1 point (for the aura of blood)
Carnage - 7 points (no cool down on skill at 7 base points)
Death Lord - Max
Famine - Max
Angel of Death - 1 point (to get out of trouble and jump between bridge areas)
Dragon Fire Oil - Max
Death Ward - Any leftover points
Graveyard - Any leftover points (haven't completed black road yet as i'm on lvl 116)

I play a balanced play style between damage and defense so i'm not that squishy. (aiming for block exceeding 50% chance)
I use carnage only as i find the life-leech is better than using Parasite and the damage is superior.

My build is far from optimized at the moment. I can still improve my crafted jewels and crafted items. Also need to find some end game SU's. Haven't had any trouble with ubers / bosses or farming K3K + Torajan Jungles...Tran Athulua can be challenging, but keep moving and you should be fine.

Do you mean being able to add items into posts? If so you just click the sword icon on the text bar and search the item you want to insert.
The post above is my gear and character setup. I'm in the process of writing a guide so I have this info compiled already :D
