Duress?

Duress?

Hey guys, this is my first time in the Barbs forum so bear with me.

Im making a ww barb, not for pvp, just for some fun pve. In total value (in currency) I have an um, a pul, and a dkey.

Whey am I telling you that? Well, I was wondering if I should spend the dkey on a decent ap or dusk shroud with 3os and then use the um for duress, or is this runeword not really worth the um?

My barb is level 50 atm, going to use:

Arreats
(bear with me my weapons suck)
Butchers Pupil (for ds)
Honor RW'd Naga.
String of ears (need belt suggestion)
Bloodfist (for now, have draculs banked. self found ftw. )
Waterwalks (gores later.)
Rare ammy(has +12 dex\str and +15 or more to res all)
Ravenfrost (selffound 210 ar and 19 dex)
Manald heal (6% manasteal)

I gave you my gear just as an overview to see if duress would fit in with this gearset. I can easily make an um back, I have a level 84 meteorb sorc with full tals, all set, so thats not bad. Its getting stuff like botd that will be a problem. Anyways Im rambling, so I hope you can figure out if rolling a duress would be worth it for me!

Looks alright overally. I would definitely make the Duress armour, having used it myself, I think it is a worthwhile investment as you can use it on any phys dmg build. I'd keep the String for LL/%DR and get hold of some good weapons.

Thanks, I can always resell it later if I really needed to. I have an honor rw'd naga and a butchers pupil cleaver. They work awesome, mainly because of the cleavers 35% deadly strike and 25% open wounds. I 1 hit everything mostly in nightmare with the combo. Just worried about hell *whistle* Ill probably look into getting an ap or ds later today for duress. Thanks for the advice on string of ears too. The bad thing is its eth...So maybe ill just look for another one once it breaks.

With those weapons I'd spend my resources on better weapons first and foremost before I worry about other gear.

I'd save up for something half-decent like an Oath runeword first.
