BvC Questions. I'm not a noob I swear.

I've been searching through the forums, and I've looked at a few BvC thread, but they all seem to vary and some are pretty vague. I know you need WW, nat res, axe mastery, and warcries, but should i do leap or not? max it or not? beserker? etc. So what I was wondering is: Can someone give me a definitive BvC guide, I plan on going to like...89 or 90 somewhere in there. Thanks in advance.

BvC is all about leap unlike other barbs - the rest is similar in a way. It is a matter of preference whether to max it or not. Save some points and find the leap radious that you find to be enough. You should only place a few points in natural resistance, 1 in zerk I guess. You will not use berserk too often, at least I don't.

There is no definitive guide - there are things subject to personal preference, realm that you play and so on. 89-90 is what you should aim for in pvp no matter if it's the final or a test build really.

Hope that helps a tad bit at least....

I suggest searching "blobguide" on the forums and following that

I agree on maxing leap or at least having it ~20 after +skills. It helps a lot versus fast casters (sorcies for example).

Natural res is one of those 1pt wonders. It's usually enough and after +skills from gear you'll be getting between 50 and 60allres.

Shout - 1pt for starters. BvC's don't have high defense to begin with. If you have nothing to put points into later on - try this.

Berserk - 1pt and nothing more. Usefull for PvM when you do that sometimes - chaos sanct. Rarely nowadays for necros as bone armor got so much weaker without the Marrowalk bug.

Berserk can be used for lock/teleporting, shout is a 1 pointer, natural resist hits diminishing returns after +skills, so just 1 point, and leap should _always_ be maxed on a BvC.

Luis suggests 6 points in nat res to hit diminishing returns with lowest +skill gear setup

What is the main use of Leap anyway?

What is the main use of Leap anyway?

the leap is used for the knock back, which puts ur oponment into fast hit recovery, giving you time to tele Whirl them before they come out of hit recovery.

also i personally find 1-4 natural res is enough.

A leap past lvl 21 (which covers full screen at a res of 800 * 600) is good

Put enough points in increased speed to hit the 40% run/walk speeds. This is needed as it will help your WW desync more and give you faster moving attack while still keeping maximum hit checks, note do not go above 40% as u will lose hitchecks.

Also its allows you to out run bonespears and fbs etc alot easier.

Shout you can put a few points here as this is not really a 1 point wonder and a few points here will work nicely

Since it's somewhat hard to catch casters usually (if they have a lot of FCR), leap helps stun them long enough for you to make a direct hit. Otherwise, the chance of WW-ing them while they're in mid-tele without being stunned is kind of hard.
