Trying to decide what works better, Ancient's hand or Kraken for my 2 handed axe barb. Thinking Ancient's Hand is the better one as I already have the SU axe that gives Stormblast on attack.


Why do you want to use Ancients Hand over Iceburst? I'm curious because I've seen this build suggested before (Yaggai's and Ancients Hand) for dual conversion barb, but you can already get ice/lightning without using up a slot for an oskill. I feel like im not understanding something about the skill or build.

IIRC they both hits every frame, but I'm not sure about Iceburts, haven't played a barb for a long time.

I downloaded the newest version of d2stats(from the thread not the tools section) but I'm still not sure how the drop notifier works. Is there a keyboard command to turn it on?

It's been moved to Travincal, to the right side of the map.

How do I get the Stormcall skill as a pally? I only see it available for amazons in the docs.

If you look at Iceburst, it's only 25% weapon damage as opposed to Ancient Hand which does 35%. While not a MASSIVE increase, it certainly makes a difference since melee barbs have fairly low damage. I suppose the cold pierce on the skill might make up for it though, which would then allow for kraken stance instead of bear. Would require testing.
