I have a lvl 121 barb with max block (75) and Damage reduction 50%

Do you think bear stance is still needed or wolf stance could be better ? or an other stance i play deathgaze barb

Snake stance might more useful because slow target %.

snake stance alone without maxing Eagle as sinergy is worthless . i suppose you don't have enough points left to max 2 stances , so you may use Wolf stance for more CB and increased speeds imo

Well I dont recommend snake stance for the poison dmg but for slow target. Deathgaze as main attack + poison is not good so no need eagle stance
Cb is not synergies with deathgaze imo. Mostly axebarb already have tons of damage. I just cant see the effect of it.
The speed is super good tho.

no . whatever you socket there along the COTW stays there too . the item itself cannot be unsocketed once you put a cotw inside .

and of course , some retard who never owned a COTW in his life downrated my post . roflmao

So, assuming that I can't handle ubers, what's a good place for an Iron Spiral barb to grind for gear and runes? I've been running Mephisto and Diablo, but I don't seem to be getting much that's actually useful. Level ~110.

Also, I apologize if I've missed something obvious, but what do Crushing Blow and Deadly Strike do, and what is the difference between them?

If you're using bear stance and runemaster, try terror K3K. Crushing blow is a chance to reduce enemy life by a %. Vs normal enemies its 1/8 for melee, 1/16 for ranged. Those values are halved vs bosses, though most are immune to crushing blow now. Deadly strike is a chance to deal double (physical) damage.

Ah, I see. I'm using Wolf Stance for the speed. And when I said I couldn't handle ubers, I meant that I walk into the Torajan Jungles and die in about a second. I kinda screwed up my build and got the Nephalem Spirit instead of Runemaster because I'd heard somewhere that it was good. I've been thinking about respeccing, but haven't gotten around to it.

With wolf stance, use runemaster + spirit guide + 15 points in wolf companion for four wolves. Bear stance is good for K3K though since you can kill the skeletons even when they are buffed with invulnerability by the totems.

Huh, I didn't know Bear Stance pierced even immunity shields, I thought it just reduced the undeads' innate phys resist. Good to know. Thank you for your time.
