Frenzy barb Twinked gears?

I need to setup my frenzy barb with good gears for gerneral PvM game play. no Uber solo or MF/GF, just want it able to solo all act bosses, do chaos runs and survive.. I got almost everything ever needed for this build

currently I got:

eth Arreat w/ zod
2 x Greifz
2 x 3bo cta on switch
AP fort
dungo
dracul
gore rider
2x ravenfrost
highlord's

questions are what gears need to switch to something else?

I got:
AP COH
MetalGrid
WC and Bcomb gcs (do I need them?)
bk rings
+3 WC ammy
seracen's chance ammy

and I can get whoever needed if I don't have

how about merc? what kind do I need?

please advice me what it's best for my frenzy. thanks

Re: Frenzy barb Twinked gears?

2x CTA will only give a max of +5 to BO, because oskills are capped at a total of +3 rather than per item if you can get the skill. Your best bet is 1x +3 BO CTA and 1x HotO (or an echoing weapon if you don't want or need the FCR) for +7 BO.

Faith (on a Rogue Merc) will hit the max frenzy framerate with Grief zerkers and Highlords, I believe. You might need to get a decent roll for the aura though.

you might wanna use another ring instead of a ravenfrost to maximise efficiency

What a load of crap...

Dual Ravens are for the Dex boost to equip weapons, boost AR, and mass cold absorb.
Unless you have a GFG 120AR 8%LL 20STR 15DEX 20LIFE 10ALLRES ring, dual ravens are the way to go for Frenzy Barb.

To the orginal poster..

Do you want to hit the final 5fpa Breakpoint for your swing rate?
If so, you should ditch the etheral Arreats, go normal arreats, and socket it with a 40%ED/15%IAS jewel, as well as Laying Of Hands Gloves for the the additional IAS. These, plus your Hilords, will allow your frenzy barb to hit 5 frames per attack with the two GriefZerkers your planing to use. (which btw aint the way to go anyway)

Read a guide or two before making your final decisions...

Re: Frenzy barb Twinked gears?

beast zerk + last wish make a nice team as well u put beast in ur primary hand (above glove) and last wish in secondary hand.

beast gives alot of ias due to fana aura as well as dmg not to mention good cb and a touch of ow and strength.

Last wish has some nice defensive mods like fade chance to cast and as well has might dmg not to mention huge amounts of cb and and lifetap chance casting. Which increases survivablity in pvm

beast + death (runeword) again is for pure out right dmg as fana again is the supportive aura for ias + dmg and death comes packing with alot of cb + deadly strike. these mods are needed to help cut through pvm monsters fast.

At armour options there are quite a few usefull logical choices;

forti = solid amounts of enhanced dmg 300% good defense life + res mods
Duress = good source of cb some 10-20% ed and ow + some res mods (very cheap to make
CoH = good choice if struck for res and solid for uber trist if struggling with res and 2 skills
Enigma = alot of str to equip gear, life mods skills + ofc better mobility due to teleportation

There should be a guide here;

Alot of the stuff is common sense and self explanatory.

Axes are good, you dont need to change that...

Griefz eDeathz eBotDz Beastz and even LastWishz are all good axe combo contenders.
Although Griefz and eDeathz or eBotDz and eDeathz are my favourites.

GG have fun
