Battle Cry oder Shout for Conc Barb?
Hi everyone!
I'm currently building a concentrate barb based on Hal's guide. It mentiones that maxing Shout is highly recommended but wouldn't it be wiser to max Battle Cry? Not getting hit in the first place due to high defense is a good idea but what about monsters that ignore defense or use magical attacks?
I recently finished Diablo on Nightmare with a friend (he plays an assassin) and I was truly surprised how easy it went. Either his red lightning didn't do anything due to -% dmg (Shaftstop + BC) or he didn't hit me properly (I heard that this may happen if you stand close to him).
Also, what merc would you recommend? Prayer or holy frost? My friend already uses the might merc and I assume two might auras don't stack. At the moment I have a Blessed Aim merc due to some AR issues but with more points in BC blessed aim isn't necessary anymore...
Current level: 57
Current gear:
Plague Bearer
Crainte Vomir (for slowing down and weakening bosses)
Heart Carver (for find item and grim ward)
Magical bone wand with life tap charges (just in case I run into something really bad)
Shaftstop
Magnus' Skin
Wilhelm's Pride
Whitstan's Guard (pdiamond)
Rare fanged helm with +2 to all Barb Skills and one unused socket
Silkweave
Two rare rings with life leech and lots of other good stats
The Mahim-Oak Curio
I'm not very rich... I especially lack more powerful runes but I think this setup is sufficient, at least for the moment.
