lvl 9 bash barb help |
|
Im currently collecting gear for a lvl 9 bash barb...
what i have:
-2Os +3 axe mastery helm (looking for +bash/+axe mastery)
-6Os 15ed mili pick
-4Os 15ed Ancient armor
-vbsod
-death belt/gloves
-10fhr/3dex boots (looking for 10/3/15ar)
-half decent rings and ammy
-inventory full of 15life LCs, some with ar (lloking for more with ar), and 1 12fhr/33ar GC
as far as my jewels go i have some nice -15 req/max dmg jewels for the armor, 2-3 12maxers, some 9/xxARs, etc....
Questions:
1. Any better gear recommendations? Are there better options for the gear i have listed?
2. Skill Distribution??
3. Duel strategies??
NB: this will be my first LLD char...so pardon the nubishness...

that looks like the setup most vlld brbs would use, youve done your research.
duelign with lvl 9's is basically walking and clicking not v hard. when dueling a lvl 9 ts asn you could walk away when her charges are full to waste them but thats looked down upon.
all you can do is get better jewel/charms and your doing nicely, and im guessing you meant 10& fhr on your boots

yes when dueling you ALWAYS want to walk. You might want a +shout helm for prebuff.

walking isnt for the defence, but so you have 75% block all the time. running reduces your blocking by 2/3, which is bad

i suppose

1howl, 1 shout
but if u want 2 into leap for giggles then you could just rely on the +shout helm?

I would suggest using Sigons gloves, boots, and belt.
Get half freeze duration on a ring and you will be fine.
This way you have higher defense, higher damage, higher AR, and you can use an ancient armor with only -30 req.

Agreed, in VLLD most people, if they use cold damage its those charms with like 1-2 cold damage, or 1-2 cold damage on their weapon. Its very ineffective and if you wear half freeze you won't feel a thing. The only thing that can slow you enough for you to notice is when they wear an item with chance to cast Frost Nova when struck.
Also, Damage Taken Goes to Mana is very important. Most VLLDs have atleast 20%, depending on the class and how much base mana you have. If you don't have a feel for how much you need, I'd do a few test duels.

It's got my vote.
What would you do otherwise? Probably 3x -req the Ancient (which is typical) dropping it to 55 strength requirement. Going the Sigon's route is only 5 more strength because while the gloves require 60, they also grant you 10 strength, thus allowing you to wear the boots.

death sash/gloves, and 10fhr/3dex/mods(ideally 15ar) boots
But yeah, sigs does seem the better choice then...my defense will be much improved...not to mention gaining that one crucial mod for vlld....50mf
Anyone care to disagree?
