The TLDR 2H Barb

Hello, any recommendations? am level 140 and now just starting to get into more end-game content. I have 250 base str - rest vit and using the standard 2h deathgaze build originally posted. I am currently at 780k defense with 80/80/80/80/50 phys resist. I have 300+% ias and 200+% fhr for the breakpoints For gear I am just using KRA RW, vicegrip, nih rw boots, perf ed SU yaggai's, and fanged helm with some ok runes.

I am struggling with some of the late game ubers and am looking for faster clear times. Which build would you recommend i transition into? Should i start looking to get the gear posted in the "expensive build" section. Thank you so much this build has been amazing for me as a first time mxl player. I have around 6 belladonas and 1 akara reset left to use so i can play around a bit. Do I just have to switch between the DPS and advanced clear builds depending on the situation? Which of the gear would you prioritize first on your end game gear list?

It depends what you want, endgame gear is for clearing, not for bosses, for example warmonger helm with aoe will do nothing vs bosses.
I don't know if you want farm if you are already level 140.

You should be able to beat ubers as in videos, with basic gear that is demonstrated, and being even lower level. Any improvements from that gear should only make this easier.
Su labrys already puts you at premium single target damage.
What bosses specifically do you have problems with?

For clear such as just rushing through fauzt/duncraig/bremmtown, that build name "lategame clear" is pretty good, it can also get lot of bosses, itll be most universal one. If you want farm certain stuff, such as astrogha for trophy, you probably want to go for even more dps and go lion stance, to get really fast kills. But all round build you wanna still use this one with bear stance.

Hey, at the beginning i wanna THX you for build for NEW player what am im who have only base knowledge about median xl its was easy and nice play by following your guide to state what are am now ( Teganze )

now i reach the point where i need advise what to do now... what i should do now beacuse when i was in Duncraig i feelt im much much out of range for this ( not boss fight, mobs was super hard ) and when i enter Teganze i can do there nothing...
i have all charms before it done w/o much trouble...

here are my items / stats and i know i dont have sacred labrys to craft - it didnt drop :S ( maybe should farm it in specific location better than K3BA )

i tryied change things myselft but i dont go well ;p so now i have 300 stat points left to add and 4 skill point ( waiting for lvl 121 to fill 35 base lvl of woolf )

skill tree is excatly from your 1st post SS only have rune master 19/19 base lvl ( i think my character lvl is to low )

currently have +20 to all skill points

First of all your items aren't upgraded with mystic orbs. Thats quite a bit of stats you are missing there.
You want your hit recovery to be 200. Went all in to hit 280 ias, thats nice, but hit recovery is important, you will get stunned and destroyed if you have that too slow. I transitioned to 280 is much later, and just sticked to ~150 breakpoint. If you can get both things this and fhr thats great, but quite difficult before having more charms.

As for uber such as teganze. As I said, build is bad for this place, so I wouldn't farm it. You can get to boss either by rushing with thunderslams just run and cast tps every few screens. Or you can slow-clear it, advance slowly, use lot of fortress and thunderslam, dodge balls. Having good merc is nice there as he tanks hits. Make sure to enrage merc on easy mobs before diving into the uber, or he will die, lot of ppl dont know this.

Duncraig is pretty hard, so you need to pay attention, stun a lot, move properly. Boss has fire pierce so if you really cant beat him by running around, stack fire res (around 250 above max should do the trick). He will deal nearly no damage if you do. But that shouldn't be neccessary if you manually dodge his attacks, he only takes 2 purifies to kill.

You also missed information about your health, with those spare points invested in vitality.

Keep in mind as you replace rings with assur rings (from duncraig), they are nice upgrade.

very thx for reply...

maybe i dont write it correctly but i killed dungcraig boss before my post and he wasnt a problem with PURIFY, like you said it was just 2 shoots but mobs before i get to him starting make me some seriously problems ( many times must go back and wait for thunderslam CD )

okz now i will get 2nd assure ring

any place where i can farm now after 120 if teganze isnt good for this build...

about my health is 9554 before 300 vit...

okz now i will transform to ~150 ias and max fhr

like you said all my items have lack of MO... can you gimme MO prority for it...

yeap i followed merc from your post but have no clue what items i should put on him...

it looks like it ( dont knowed what IAS breakpoint should be so i putted it everywhere ^^ )

thx in advance...

Mystic orb'd my yaggari to 5% deadly strike: its better option than 20ed or ewd or +max dmg. Especially if equipement already has 5% deadly strike.
I think, for daggers mo +max damage is a good option. Life and mana on hit an not worth of it for this (2h) build.

You have what to mo in 1st post, fill whatever you miss.
For duncraig try using shower of rocks, it makes it lot easier before you really outdamage it later. Also makes it possible to even carry full games. SOR works much better than deathgaze at this point of progression, in duncraig.

ABout TU labrys, my recommendations were based on fact its early weapon, you gonna get craft around 120, so you use stuff like attack speed, mana on attack, attack rating, these early upgrades will be more important.
Otherwise deadly strike is decent option for later weapon, 5% is 5% more damage basically.

What should I do with following weapon? Only thing that is awsome with it is MotW, rest is meh...
(sure EHD, and CB is ok, for being crafted with Creepy), but should I use it now as Main weapon (bless with X?), until I get a better Labrys?

When I find a better weapon and If i'm not wrong: It would be good using it as switch weapon, for the buff?

itll work, but 1h axe would allow you to use another item in 2nd hand
Also merc casts mark of the wild on you if you use a5, and then there is no point of using it.

can you tell why assure rings are so imporant ?? its only for PURIFY or something else ??
