Balefire is one of the best procs there is. There is no use telling you how much damage it does, because it hits so often that it's hard to calculate the total amount. Just let me tell you: it's strong.

Talk with Larzuk for completing the quest.

Somebody give me build advice for my bow druid? Dunno what I could change to make him better. I also managed to do Sunstone of the Gods and Khalimgrad. I can sort of farm Tran Athulua? But it takes ages to kill the priestesses. And Legacy of Blood/Bartuc seems impossible. I can't get enough defense to not die instantly.

I have clawscratch on switch for MotW duration and phys dmg.

You should make a

Locust Hive

And you could improve your rings. Rare rings with +1 sk and supernova on kill procs are nice. Other good options are:

All those uniques I listed can be made with unique reroll recipe.

So I've been working on my first seasonal Barb and building him to be a melee barb. But I am undecided on going for 75% block (will require a heavy dex investment and cause me to run with ~5k health till I get charms/better gear) or try run ~1mil+ armor for 5% to be hit (will allow me to stack more vit).

For some reason I have it in my head that block is better.... but even typing this out and looking at it the thought doesn't make sense to me.... 5% to be hit with ~1-5% block (and more health) vs 75% to block with 50% or higher to be hit. Can someone just re-assure me that the high armor and health is better till I can afford to reach max block without making a drastic sacrifice of vit?

TLDR. Gladiators dominance or Runemaster for a newb ungeared melee barb?

read the mid game section of the 26'th miniguide here viewtopic.php?f=40&t=491#link26 in order to check what you need to equip for max block with minimal dexterity investment

Thanks for the link to that guide, has some good ideas for me. I'm more asking for confirmation that at face value high armor 5% to be hit is better than 75% to block though. (I have it stuck in my head that there is some benefit to max block like blocking spells or something that makes max block more mitigation than the armor and I'm not sure if I'm just crazy.....)
