I'm thinking WW barb as a starter, or start as a bear druid and then transition to werewolf later on. But I like barb as a starter in general.

Considering the fact that we now can get a full set to drop with the new quest, I might consider going for a build that uses one of these sets. The downside being I usually do not play with sets as I don't like how they lock me in to a certain build.

Also, anyone gonna try out the buffed Throw Barb?


Maybe. Throw barb or cb necro. Maybe it sounds nostalgic but I loved to play with double throw barb in D2 too. And also stampede barb back in days in old median patches

Why summoner barb? I'm curious to hear. In general I see so many people say what they will play, but not the why :D

I tried to play it last season, but I kind of went with summoner necro because the early gameplay with necro felt a lot smoother. Especially the moving around the map with summons felt really janky with summoner barb.

In my experience this set is quite easy to find before lvl 120. I myself was just wondering and I would expect to have better non-set gear than what the set can offer at lvl 120.

To me this lvl120 quest reward feels like it comes too late in the progression and it should've been available at around lvl 105 or 110.

Anyway, I might give it a try as a starter just to see how it performs. If I don't like it I can always respec back to poison ww and steamroll norm.

Couldn't disagree more. I just ran a character from 100-120 in the past 2 days, and found less than a dozen to total set pieces, and none of them were the set you mentioned, nor were they the set I was hunting.

If you complete the exact full set your class needs by the time you reach 120, you are VERY lucky.
