SSF WW Barb

Guide shows all stat points to str, but I have such low hp that if I'm not actively hitting something to life leach, I'll die. Is there a point where you should start putting points into vit? I am level 130 .

nope. only str. want to get that lion stance magical dmg. opt for defensive options like i wrote earlier in the replies (regarding max res, def, avoid).

ubers naturally get harder and harder. refine your charms.

Thoughts on corrupted wormhole investment?
Full Small STR vs DEX
Full Large STR vs DEX
Mix of both.

Will likely go ahead and build up three different ones whilst farming Trophy.
The Boost of AR might be nice.

Speaking of AR, there comes a point when skill investment in Mountain king gives 1% every 2 levels.
Feels like an even distribution between MK and AB might be beneficial, as well as helping stack more AR

Just thinking out loud.

Was playing Earthquake barb and wanted to give WW a try. I have all the beginner items to get started. First time ever playing so not doing any trading yet. As far was weapons go which combo should I use out of what I have. Peace Warder / Vale Hunter / Blazing Sword / I have 462-746 Labyrs I been using for EQ. If I use Blazing Sword do I DW or use it as a 2H? Thank you!

I added videos for all the lvl 105, 110 and 115 ubers in the main post. Will add 120s later as I go through them.

here is the full playlist

even if you dont need the help, i took the time to add a mix of very different songs. see them as mini video clips

i just stayed in triune long enough to get 40 levels worth of str charm, then left. (obviously, didnt forget to grab trophy for sleep charm).

mk isnt just for the ar. its ar, dmg, and hp. ab also gives ar and hp, but i feel like hard points in mk is superior because your str is so damn high in the lategame (5-7k).

Sorry maybe I worded that terribly. Blazing Sword is 1h and 2h. Do I use it by itself or DW it with any the lower weapons? I got the 2 1h axes or Blazing Sword.

always dual wield when its possible.

I dual-wield a hammerhead axe and a claymore (which is Durandal the Blazing Sword). It's working great in so far.

From my intuition, if the weapons can be dual-wieled, then one should do so, rather than using a claymore/giant sword/great sword only by itself.

I roughly estimate that "2 fpa with high damage" will be better than "4 fpa with very high damage" (unless the 2h-damage is extremely high, like that of

). I will test more, using a single weapon if that weapon cannot be dual-wielded (e.g. Labrys), but so far I haven't found any to try.

A dedicated 2h weapon (which cannot be dual-wielded) like the Labrys has quite higher 2h-damage than the 2h-damage of a claymore/giant sword/great sword (which can be dual-wielded). <<< So using a dedicated 2h weapon should be the case when it is worth using a weapon by itself. But if that weapon can be dual-wielded, then dual-wielding is better.

After all, isn't the ablity to dual-wield claymore/giant sword/great sword/flamberge make Barbarian unique :mrgreen:

I am using an eth Durandal and using it solo (not dual wield), but I have a sacred hammerhead I could craft for my other hand.

Since my durandal is Eth it has insane damage, am I right to be one handing that, or should I look to get a 2nd wep going? I don’t understand how the 2nd wep will increase my damage by lowering my average so signficantly.

Why no mention of
