Re: A Very Wierd Yet Fun Barbarian Guide
I vote sticky on this one , welcome to the forums and all Jay, I suggest you look at the guides posted as an example of the type of content the "we" look for in a guide. Some folks put alot of work into them and in many cases with multiple revisions after it's been open for critique. I think there is some challenge to your build posted here, I'd like to see some info on ias and fhr breakpoints, what your solution to ar, and your chance to hit using no skills.
your also going to have far less life without bo, and without pumping str (and most likely using a 2hander titan style) your damage is going to stink, how do you balance that?

Re: A Very Wierd Yet Fun Barbarian Guide
I got bored of playing Diablo 2 and thought of this build as a challenge as a way of starting a new barbarian seeing how long I'll last without adding any skill points.
I'm suggesting that try to get a high damage and attack rating weapon. Since this build might not get to nightmare with the might mercenary then get the act 2 offensive which boosts your attack rating quite high.
It's true that without bo you'll have less life so it'll be a good challenge, if your damage is starting to sink then pump some strength. If your really starting to have problems then follow other guides and start adding some skill points according to them.
I also said no adding skill points not no + skill equips or charms.
This build is a challenge for the experienced, the bored, and the rich. Not recommended if you are actually really serious about your gaming.
This build is not one of those other guides it's a way of starting a new character.
( sorry if it's that bad but hey, it's my first )

Re: A Very Wierd Yet Fun Barbarian Guide
Have you tried playing this yourself yet? Its one thing to make a post about a theory build, its rather different to put up a guide that suggests a build you havent even tried yourself yet...
As far as i can tell, for a build like this you work your going to need a great sorc of cb, ds, and something with ignore target def. That will at least get you through non boss areas and such. Then on top of that youve got to make sure you have enough leech to keep you alive, possibly even the use of a tap wap on a switch.
Master Zap made a good point on the fact that you will prolly have to use a 2 hander weapon to be able to really kill anything, and for the ar youll prolly have to rely on charms/maybe angelics/possibly the use of a act2 blessed aim merc if you really cant manage any ar over 8-10k.
Really though, id put this 'build' into practice before id ever say i have a 'guide' ready for it to reveal to the world or anything.

Re: A Very Wierd Yet Fun Barbarian Guide
Its not that this build wouldnt work, i think itd work just fine, you just need to have a decent enough attack speed with leech/cb/ds/itd to help with killing speed. I think probably the biggest problem you are going to run into, even with nice equipment, is crowd control. Unless your 1 hitting everything you run into, your going to have problems if you get totally surrounded.
