Theres zero reasons to use overkill this patch. Just use stampede. If you really want to go overkill, sure, you will need some hard points into overkill, otherwise your AOE going to be a joke. Do not max it though, just ~10-15 points. Problem of overkill is that it deals awful damage to targets in melee range and it is simply worse than 1 point stampede.

Could u post your skill layout, I tried stampede and it doesn't do enough damage. I'm clearing Dcows and most Uber's in seconds with overkill right now. With stampede it took me 1 min to just kill TA preistess

use iceburst to kill single targets

@Tedddy Check out this video please, Im showing gear and skillpan in there:

I had the same experience, where stampede doesn't really do that much damage compared to overkill. Probably needs more + skill.

How would you skill a throw barb using snake stance? I find that between daedalus and spirit guide I don't have many points left to put in eagle stance for synergy, or if it is necessary at all.

So what shrines are you using for you crafted gear then... is it quiet shrines or Dex shrines?

0 daedalus, or 1pt, if you going for dual wield with sword offhand for whirlwind, to run duncraig (works better than shield version).
Otherwise there is not enough points for daedalus.
This skill has increasing returns, so either max it or don't put points in it.

Normally I'd max snake+eagle, block passive (for deadly strike), and then as much as possible in spirit guide, 10 into wolves (for 3 of them).

aerial, how much def you have with this setup?

Over 300k with shield and block.
But for duncraig sword offhand is better, and runemaster. Then you hit over 1mil no prob.
Low hp is bit of an issue, you also dont have 50% DR, but it is still enough there.
Only prob are those silly small rooms, 3s teleport not enough.
I was considering even carrying blink oskill item on switch, to specifically use blink in those rooms, so you stun these guys before they can throw. Only for those teleports.
