Bruno Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 shout is useless for a BvC. You have no use at all for def against casters. I would add more points into berzerk and leap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anti404 Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 This build is a strictly inferior version of the "normal" BvC. Move points from Shout into Leap. 40% fcr is needed vs. most things - replace Dracul's Grasp with Trang-Oul's Claw. I don't recommend pumping more than 4-6ish points into Natural Resistance for the diminishing returns are terrible. As for your switch weapons, 2x Doom Berserker Axes are great alternatives to HotO, i.m.o. They'll help vs. Smite/Desynch/Bowazons/etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bape. Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Ok, this is my first ever written guide.BvC ( Barb Vs.

Bape. Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 i perfer good fcr rings with 30+ life and 10+ resists, manan helps alot too because you go through it fast fcr rings are not as vial as ravens as u loose a lot of dmg. i loose a chunk of ar when i switch to wisps and i just don't like the shitty dmg.

Distract Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 since when does ravens add dmg? fcr rinsg can have over 100 ar each, and max/min dmg. imo fcr rings have alot more then ravens can offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bape. Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 with ravens u hit more accurately + harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frepontaine Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 with ravens u hit more accurately + harder. you dont hit harder...you just miss less (only on high def chars). FCR rings are fine vs. low defense casters (i.e. pretty much everything). dracs>trangs any day of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntiRush Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 As a barb vs caster I'd think you'd want better resists than that. A few 20/50s will go a long way towards that goal. My bvc (who is level 94) does have maxed shout. I use berserk a lot and it adds some decent damage to it while helping me out against any paladin that charges, melee characters, bowazons, and most importantly other barbs. Your standard bvc doesn't stand a chance against my build and I really haven't sacrificed anything to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
