Or anyone with a Passion weapon to use berserk...

beserk even with pluse all skill on it is so weak. I tried to make a build of it. This weapon is only good for mid level dueling at best and the runes reflect this.

 

[LovelyGods]

ok so what can i use to add to Ow..

Dracs are ok but what if life tap casts instead of amp?

malace is ok but then i can't amp.

there seems to be a problem in this.

unless i can socket a throwing weapon (i dont think i can)

hm....maybe use dracs, the life tap casts once in a blue moon anyways.


will i be lacking in the ias department for smite????

30 ias from lacerator
10 from bloodfists

that doesn't seem like enough if u ask me.

 

[HandofElysium]

deadly varient??? Like what?

o and i found stats on lacerator

Throw Damage: (17-21) To (150-186) (83.5-103.5 Avg)
One-Hand Damage: (27-34) To (140-173) (83.5-103.5 Avg)
Required Level: 68
Required Strength: 96
Required Dexterity: 122
Base Weapon Speed: [-10]
Max Stack: (180)
+150-210% Enhanced Damage (varies)
+30% Increased Attack Speed
33% Chance of Open Wounds <--------------------------------
Prevent Monster Heal
Hit Causes Monster To Flee 50%
33% Chance To Cast Level 3 Amplify Damage On Striking

Not to be rude but didn't you read the stats besides the amp?

ALso to follow up with the speed of smite to get fastest smite your going to need 130 ias% and 60 for the second fastest this is of course without fan.

 

[LovelyGods]

hmm... 60 seems alot better to aim for..

lets see 30 on lacerator
10 bloodfists

thats 40...

hmm.....that means i need to 40/15ias two more things... helm / shield probably.

or 40/15ias one thing, and use 20 ias gloves with mods..

 

[wvx_leader_returns]

one 40/15 and 20 ias gloves sounds more efficient... didnt i give you my good crafted gloves brian? those have good mods, resist, and the 20 ias you need

not that i remember. i'll look again. maybe i missed it somplace, do u remember which character it was on?

Or anyone with a Passion weapon to use berserk...

I agree with Hand, basically, in a Passion weapon, it sucks. However, from a zerk barb... deadly. It would be difficult to figh a zerker with the build that LovelyGods is building since foh won't kill a barb with high vita fast enough in the time it will take to zerk you to death.

 

[Jek]

Uhm.. This is odd. Why wouldn't he want good defense? If the melee opponent can't hit him he'll die to smite anyway, good HS and defiance synergy will improve your survival (barbs would just switch to berserk and kill in 1-2 hits if you go low defense).

High defense helps the build, just like any other build. Survival>Fancy kill (that might cost you a lot of loses due to OW, Venom and CB hits..)

PS: I'd love to try this in PvM, let your merc take the pain.
