Skill Plan Early Game:

Max Barkskin
1 Earth Talon
1 Meditation
6 Charged Talon
10 Birdstorm
10 Ferocity
10 Owlbeast Form
1 Steel Wings
1 Egg Trap
7 Progeny's Blessing

Skill usage: Buff yourself with mark of the wild. Birdstorm for most trash mobs and earth talon+mythal for bosses/tougher elites. When you get progeny's blessing add egg trap into your rotation for single target and aoe clear.

Stats: As much str as needed to wear gear rest in dex. EARLY on this is gonna consist of you basically putting 1/3 your points in str and 2/3 in dex.

When you start gamble/buy a dagger off gheed/charsi. Make sure you put a point into meditation asap it helps early mana regen drastically. If you find an eld/el runes early on make shark/enlightenment for a decent power boost while leveling. Once you reach meph farm him until you can at least make your TU blade + helm + shield. If you desire you can make the full gearset but usually I farm the remaining arcane crystals in act 5 nith.

How koth's swap works on a trap. Fire off a birdstorm or 2 and then press your weapon swap once koth is equipped birds will continue to kill and give you the bloodlust buff. Early on this is pretty massive because you have little to no enhanced weapon damage percent.

Amulet - Whatever you find

Socket gear with ko runes or diamonds, weapon with jah or skulls.

Why barb merc: For me this is my preferred merc even though we already have mark of the wild buff. He simply does the most damage and is the easiest for me to keep alive. The other option I would consider is act 2 exemplar for insane colosseum if you want more single target.

Skill Plan Mid-Game:
Max Barkskin
Max Faerie Fire
1 Earth Talon
1 Mythal
1 Meditation
6 Charged Talon
20 Birdstorm
20 Ferocity
20 Owlbeast Form
1-5 Steel Wings ( add more points if you have enough dex to reach the block breakpoints. )
1 Egg Trap
7 Progeny's Blessing

Stats: Same as early game until you get the 100-120 ubers done and then respec to balance your stats out accordingly.

What to MO your gear with: By this point you should have some gold to mo your tiered uniques. What you need is faster hit recovery up to 172%, all res to the point that your capped in hell, magic find and the remainder to 2 max damage. For jewelry reduce physical damage taken and magic find or mana regen if you have mana problems. Mana leech is another option on your weapon if mana problems persist.

If you need more AC's and your decently strong you can farm hell meph. He drops 2 arcane shards per and an extra tiered/sacred/set item. This should be your goto for making jewels as well.

What to do, how to level: At this point progress through charms in the dungeons/rifts section the game guide and if you hit a snag or feel weak don't hesitate to go back and farm torajan jungle for signets to get base stats, cows for shrines to roll better gear or k3k to find a plethora of useful set items/sacred uniques.

- Low flat physical damage but has -lightning resistance which favors our single target skill greatly. This is a cheap easy to make option that can bridge the gap until you craft a nice dagger or move onto a stronger runeword in the lategame section.

Rings+Amulet still the same ripstar scales with your level so it never falls off and angelheart is great until end game.

its a fine replacement.

Gems/Jewels : Just use perfect amethyst / res gems or fal runes. If you need help reaching the 174% FHR break point you can craft ohm jewels.

A5 Merc : 2 things to change at this point in the game. Find a sacred barb helm base and a sacred flameberge or greatsword. Creepy craft the helm for high str% + ED and the sword with intimidating/weird/creepy for high flat dmg. Mo his gear to 86% FHR after that mf, str, total char defense, 1-2 flat dmg are all good choices. Mo the sword to 200% ED and then deadly strike or MF. If you have extra creepy shrines crafting nice belt/boot can be potential end game pieces.

Stats: At some point when you get nicely rolled charms + trophies you will be able to put very minimal amounts in str and go full dex.

At this point with full craft setup you should be able to farm most zones comfortably in players 1. You should be able to get most of your charms if you have to skip some its fine. Eventually you will be able to do almost all charms.

Playstyle: now that you have a decent amount of skill points you can change into the pure physical bear pet setup. This will alter your playstyle because now you have a useful pet. This will make some ubers a breeze and will make your owl much more tanky. Micromanage your pet with jitans gate teleport until you get void charm.

How to level, what to do : Join Duncraig farming games and get up to 125 or do it solo. After that join Bremmtown/Fautz group games to get to 140. Hopefully by this point you've found some solid gear that you can trade with. If not go back to dunc/teganze/fautz and keep farming until you get the gear listed below.

After that make sure you have 10 minion resist on your jewelry + 1 piece of gear so you get a total of +40. 40 with perfect charms/trophies and the passives maxed out will net you 175 total for the primal bond passive. After that you are going to aim to finish off your FHR/Blockrate breakpoints which are respectively 174/109. If you still have room left over after that then you should aim for +max damage on whatever armor slots you have left. For weapon MO deadly strike.

- Ideally with highest stats possible. Another option is you can buy a normal one and convert it eth with the effigy. This weapon + undead crown is a combo that adds +250% EWD by turning the negative crushing blow effect on plunder into damage. This is not intuitively read on the items but it is how it works.

Idol's on gauntlets + crown with perfect charms will allow you to equip arrogance with a shamanka swap full of Ka runes. You want the 174 FHR and 109 block speed breakpoints this should be achieved easily with perfect charms and the MO space available on wheel. Aim for 90 fire/cold/light res with perfect gems and socket the rest of your gear with fel runes / fal runes. You also need to MO minion resistance on a couple of pieces to achieve the 175 minion res cap for the primal bond passive. I opted to use my jewelry + wheel of fortune to get the last bit of minion res.

on your jewelry. With optimal rolls and perfect charms you should be at around -175 to -178 all res if you include Mythal you will be -199 which is enough to do every boss in the game. You want the same breakpoints as mentioned above for physical 174 FHR and 109 block speed. Make use of the wheel for tons of MO space.

First

[zeitzi]

noob question: once you changed weapon, will you remain on koth? Or once you switched and the buff applied, switching back

[ChuckNoRis]

"Decent p1 farmer (great to excellent p8 farmer)" and how exactly is he better in p8 than in p1 ? isn't it the other way around ? i suppose that having around 7 barbs ,each of them using 7 different stances to boost the rat build are out of discussion as it would be irelevant to provide any feedback based on that

Probably because of how quill storm functions? It does quite alot of damage but targets only 1 mob.
Another thing is the survivability, even with only 50% block and 450k def i could tank fauzt quite easily with many people in the game (as elemental rat)

Few things i would like to add playing as a elemental rat:

I recommend Gelebs greed as a solid option for gloves, does not require a shit ton of str and has -enemy fire res, more phys% res and +1 all skills.

For amu i have been experimenting with +1 quov amu and for bosses its probably the best choice, but for farming purposes im using +3 black dwarf, (as you said our fhr and fcr feels shitty so this makes it a bit easier to hit breakpoints) and the spell damage does make our procs more powerful if i remember correctly.

As for weapon im sure Triune is by far the superior choice for bosses as ele, but for farming i doubt it outperforms black razor as you dont really need the extra phys damage to sustain your life.

Nice guide thanks for sharing

Yes the survivability is the main thing I would say that makes it a great p8 farmer. The tankyness is not a really a factor in p1 because you one shot everything. The physical damage also overkills in players 1 so your not really getting the most out of your full DPS. In general the build is not super fast so if you can make up for speed with difficulty for more loot, its beneficial.

Added gloves and black dwarf ty for feedback

Sorry for stupid question, dru rat is alive after cb fix?

Yes very much so after the thorn wall buff id say. It has great single target for killing ubers and still the same potential in trash clearing.

noob question: once you changed weapon, will you remain on koth? Or once you switched and the buff applied, switching back

Switch back to dagger after you gain buff. You cant cast trap rat skills without a dagger.

[lauroson]

Short, simple and fun to play. Went through normal as a tree then respec'd to rat for nightmare. It's smooth and fast. Really looking forward to doing some ubers.

[tranvanhieu]

Thorn Wall is a killer now, great against immobile targets. If you can hit a group of enemies with this skill, it proc "on striking" like crazy.

Trap Rat is a ranger, but unlike some other glass cannon builds, he has tons of life, defense and block... and avoid too. One of the best builds for new player.

Agreed the avoid really pushes the tankyness over the top.
