I'd appreciate the input of more experienced Barbarian players. <3

1) Which melee single-target Barbarian skill has the best damage? What comes in second place?

2) Is there some trick I haven't figured out with stances? Is keeping them on right click the only way?! Is there a script or program that doesn't break the rules which can be used? It's horrrriible. Why can't it just be a casted buff? eg: "you can only have one stance active at a time, duration 900 seconds.". Seriously! :P

3) Any random pro tips for playing melee Barbarian?

Can someone explain to me why we can create Iron Golem from Tier 1 and 2 Maiden Spear, but not Tier 4 and Sacred Maiden Spear?

It seems to want to do, but this is not accurate information.

, strong spell which uses a bow.


Thanks that is interesting combination. Do you think the minibuild Bow Sorceress https://forum.median-xl.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=491#link31 is still valid ? Most builds on a non bow specific classes uses arrow swarm isnt there any alternative ?

the bow sorceress miniguide is a bit outdated in what regards the gearing , as since Sigma came out you can use

for early-mid game (which isn't that bad for end game either) , some chances to proc on some gear parts were also reduced compared to 2017 , the TU ice flayer from switch attack was murdered , but the skillplan remains the same .

unfortunately there isn't something better for early-mid game than arrow swarm if you want to build a bow character that does not have a bow tree . For end game you may also try

uninterruptible attack is beneficial for all cast and attack animations.
