Thinking of Doing Poison Throw Barb - Need Feed Back

[Benzula]

Hey Guys!

So I'm pretty garbage at this game in general. I've never done uldy or anything beyond that.

This is what I'm thinking of making a poison barb since they are doing some tweaks to it.

Leveling Gear

Everything socketed with -Poison Resist until capped then Dex for Block

Head: Glowskull
Chest: Jitan's Kamon
Axe: Rockshatter
Shield: Destroying Angel
Belt: Wormtongue
Boots: Death Spur // Zealot Rush
Gloves: Vilehand
Ring: Xorine's Ring
Ring: Xorine's Ring
Amu: Angel Heart // Dreamcatcher


Mid-End Game Gear

So far this would be the items I want to go for the Throw Barb. Let me know what you guys thing. Everything socketed with -Poison Resist until capped then Dex for Block

Head: Royal Circlet // Witchhunter's Hood
Chest: Hratli's Craft // Scales of the Drake or Scales of the Serpent
Axe: Ophiophagus (New SU) with a The Demon Core for Gamma Field on Kill //
Shield: Triune's Blessing (Poison Runeword) // Madawc Val Narian
Belt: The Endless Loop // Black Void
Boots: Knight's Grace // Fangskin Scales
Gloves: Abandon or tainted crafted or Stareye's Claws
Ring: Empyrean Band // Empyrean Glory // Xorine's Ring (If Lotteried)
Ring: Empyrean Band // Empyrean Glory // Xorine's Ring (If Lotteried)
Amu: Beads of the Snake Queen // In For The Kill //Gallowlaugh


Also what would I use for a Merc?

Maybe pure poison. Ancient blood snakestance super super max and runemaster. Socket -poison res runes. Titans buff with runemaster gives nice defense. All vita.

Smax snakestance and spamming fortress could be good.

Doubt it, it's not gonna have damage.

It should get its damage from snake stance, I guess we don't know how much damage it will actually reach though.

fortress constant multihitting at 50% wdm with a passive poison skill. kek

did i miss something in the patch notes? why the stacking of poison resistances?

He said -poison resistance, negative res, aka pierce.

for leveling i'd rather use 2x sterrenvogel throwing axe TU's, it has +4 sk and -20elem pierce, and probably both the new single target psn skill and snake stance scale with lvls so that'd be way stronger. Lastly it has a very low STR req (170 at t4) which is a + when lvling.
As for armor since you're poison jitan kamon's kinda useless go for robe of leaves it has a nice 20% life and -10 psn, or maybe queen of glass for -20 psn, works too

I was thinking of doing the same but then did a small test run yesterday and around lv40-50ish i couldnt stand shift-attacking anymore... so no barb for me i guess

so its annoying all the time shift
this remind me of hamer paladin from clasic LoD diablo
