The TLDR 2H Barb

This image should work.
My questions were:
How would this axe qualify as an upgrade to the TU4 Labrys?
And what should i focus on MO'ing onto it?
And which shrine should i bless it with?

That axe is very good, and its better tha TU labrys mainly cause of its damage. The killspeed improves a lot and the defensive stats on TU labrys dont compensate for that.

Any tips for getting a weapon with Mark of the Wild? I can't seem to roll one.

Just make sure it's a barbarian axe

It actually took me 21 shrines before I got a motw roll on my axe. Keep trying.

Does it actually have to be an axe? The affix list says Barbarian weapons.

I've used so many shrines on this bronze sword already.

Has to be an axe... Hammerhead has 6 sockets.

Seems like list is outdated, ppl couldn't roll motw on swords. I already updated guide long time ago that you should be crafting axe.
Another source of motw is merc btw, if you play with a5 merc he will overwrite your axe motw, so no point even casting it during those runs.

As for that axe, very good.
You can bless it with creepy for more strength bonus, intimidating for some deadly strike? I woulnd't go for vitality in case you plan on speccing to more offensive build that goes full str and then this roll will be wasted.
As for MO, decide if you feel like more AR helps you or tu light gauntlets are enough even for trash.
Life leech isn't out of the question, it really improves qol for farming uberlevels. Useless for bosses.
In some cases ias is good option too, but it can be obtained via jewels so only if you really can't get it anywhere else.

You say life leech. Which is better?
Life leech or Life on Attack?

i've been trying to do Kabraxis using the fortress method you showcased in your video, however, my dmg output seems too low to stay clean of the skeletons, and so i'm not really getting dmg to the boss either.
any other things you changed to do this? i'm already using lion stance and the lion stance helmet. any other ways to boost my fortress dmg?

The end result... Blessed with trinity.
This will do for now. I started crafting a third one



Just did duncraig on p8... deathgaze wrecks still. Didnt find a difference between 5 an 8 players.

[tourian]

any barb weapon can roll MOTW or Colosseum.

[Ronthar]

any barb weapon can roll MOTW or Colosseum.

Fairly certain this is incorrect. barb swords can roll Colosseum and barb axes can roll MOTW.

I played around with more farming oriented spec, how to push this further, if you wanna farm fauztinville faster (works in duncraig too).
You go full str, wolf set chest + belt, then you get helm, i used taha rw in eth base because I just happen to have it, but best would be that warmonger helm su with area effect probably. You hit over 5k str with such setup, merc boosting with quaraks will, you gonna have like 17-18k in d2stats. Procs from gloves, belt and chest.
Then youw ant replace jewels with 15 ias and life steal, maybe even put more life steal on axe, so you dont rely on potions. Something like this goes through fauzt pretty fast, you can dive in and just wipe screen really quite well, for a deathgaze build. Same goes for duncraig or bremmtown.
Skills you just do -19 fortress and put that in more AB and like 3 more into wolf comapnion for ~1800 dmg curse.
Technically past certain damage point wolf curse becomes less and less important, if you packed 20k phys damage, adding that 1.5k curse is not much considering how many points that costs us, but there is just hard to utilize those points better. Going for max spirit guide isn't worth it it is just 10ed per slvl, so by maxing you gain 250-300 ewd, pretty meh (and defense which we have enough).
As for weapon I'm not sure if su labrys is even worth, for clear. 50% stormblast ctc doesn't do that much, axe has no skills. It is still definitely top choice but wouldn't say it is miles ahead of good craft.
Limitation of this build for clear comes mostly from fact there is no really good kill procs anymore. We used to have ono with good 25% ctc guard tower, things like that, you could start chain reaction of wdm procs that self cleared screen, if your dps was high enough. Now procs being toned down, you just have to spam that deeathgaze manually, approach every small pack and clear this way. It obviously cannot match teleporting poucne type of character that multihits whole screen, so there is definitely a ceiling of how fast this spec can clear, regardless of investments.

I could use some help figuring out what to prioritize next. I've tried to follow the build but am dying VERY easily in the cow level.
When I attack I start with Thunder Slam, use the AHK for Fortress and start spamming Shower of Rocks or Death Gaze depending on number of cows.
I can only survive a couple of hits from these guys. Makes it pretty tough to level.

My stats:
Level 111
235 Base Str, 582 w gear
0 dex
361 Base Vit, 588 w gear
0 Energy
75% Resists
271k Defense

Gear:
TU3 Labrys w 5x Jah, 5x ed MO
TU4 Horned Helm w 4x Mal
TU4 BP w 6x Jah
TU4 Light Gauntlets w 4x Gul
TU4 Heavy Belt w Lo Lah
TU4 Chain Boots w 4x Pul
Ring 1 - 10 all res
Ring 2 - +1 skills, psn res
Ammy - Random crap

I have all the challenge charms as well.
I'd really appreciate any advice you can give me. Thank you!
