If you had to choose one lvl 30 WW Barb Helm..... Subject description: What would it be? |
|
I'm assuming that a +2 combat, +3 ww, visionary, 30 speed, 3 soc helm doesn't exist, so I guess my quesion is what type of helm should I be targeting that's within reason.

artisians of squid with plus to ww would be a good choice but i dont think anyone has one, or at least ive never seen it.
another less hard to get option is a magic of squid with ww and 2 sockets from quest.
and then just socketed helm with plus to ww is also not a bad choice.
and lastly maybe just any skills you want and 3 socket helm.
all the jewels are highest plus max damage you can find.

Your optimal helm is a +3 ww +3 increased speed +3 natural resist artisans xx of the squid. if you get one of these, i commend you. try for any helm with +whirlwind on it, it will save you many points which can vastly improve your increased speed skill. Socketing for whirlwind barbs is kinda iffy, they are very similar to vlld jabbers. You need at least 1 piece of gear with 20% ed jewels to really get a good effect from max jewels and charms. I use 3x ed/stat jewels in my helm on my barb, and i believe this is the best place to put them. 20ed jewels come up roughly equivalent to 22 max jewels, and you can get up to 15 stats (60 base life) off of your jewels as well. a couple of cheap options include pcrown and a 3 soc barb helm with battle orders, nat resist, increased speed (much easier and cheaper to find) | Read it .

Most WW barbs should have ED jewels in their helm.

So, would a 3 soc helm with (3)15max/20 ed, be better than (3)- 24 maxers?

No. If you put 20 ED 15 max in armor, the ED will apply only to the minimum damage. I personally use 20 ED 7-8 mini dmg jewels, and the mini dmg applies to the mini (of course) and the ED goes to the max dmg.

my ideal would probably be an artisans barb helm of the squid (80 life) with the following staff mods:
+3 WW
+3 Increased Speed
+3 natural Resistances
socketed with 3x 6str/9dex/20ed/60ar jewels
