I'm kinda disenchanted with my frenzy barb right now, dual wielding two bloodletters in his mid thirties, the only impressive thing is his huge repair bills. Maybe it will be better when I dual wield lightsabre/frostwind.

a frenzy barb, as with a conc barb, it is very easy to play untwinked (only using items you find) and survive. Killing effectively is another matter altogether. In order for a barb to kill effectively, they need to (a) twink weapons over from someone else (b) do lots of mf runs (c) be very very lucky with item finds while playing normally.

The other barb skills from the big four (ww, zerk) require a bit more effort to build a good one, but can be more devastating overall.

I thinking going maces would be a better way to go untwinked (or if you wish, dun add to weap mastery until you find somethine to at least put you thru NM)

This is due to the sheer amount of unique normal, exceptional and Elite maces that are available.. ensuring that just about every weapon you find is a usable one.

I'm building a freezing frenzybarb now using Nord's tenderisers (twinked of cus.. but very cheap equipment). Look at the equipment he was using in NM.

- Exceptional Upped Bloodrise
- Fleshrender (this is an EXCELLENT weapon from 38-60)
- Twitchroe
- Duskdeep (with low + ED jewel, think its +10)
- Manald Heal

The weapon is key here and unless you're willing to hold out for some of them elite or rune-worded swords/axes, maces provides you with the cheapest and most variety.

Usable ones:

- Bloodrise saw me through normal. I upped it at Act 5 normal. Not really worth it considering i had better waiting, but if you dun have anything better, why not.

- ALL the one-handed exceptionals are 'usable' (cept moonfall with its stupid chance to cast interrupting frenzy) with Fleshrender with its 1001 mods and Baezil vortex really standing out.

- ALL the one-handed elites are 'good'. with perhaps those with a chance to cast static being the most useful of course.

Or you can be original and have a 'elemental frenzier'! Go Nords for cold, tyrants for fire, stormlash for lightning, baranar for all.

The choices maces offer are extremely varied and I highly recommend them.

Yeah, that thread is helpful since someone posted a reply with a link to a real guide located in the stickies here.

@diurd
I'd agree that maces have a very nice selection of weapons for a frenzy barb and are almost all pretty cheap. Good suggestion.

it seems clear to me that maces and swords are the best choices for untwinked

for swords you get all swords, since they can all be used one-handed you will never find a sword you can't use

with maces you get all one handed maces and you also get all scepters, so they're an excellent alternative

maheshwar24, are you ****ing kidding me??? did you READ his original thread??? it clearly says he is in ACT1 and playing with ITEMS HE FINDS and he is WITHOUT GODLY ITEMS, and what you are telling him is "hey, just get 2 enigma, 2 botd, some doom, some arachnid, you are all set to go!" i am seriously doubting your intelligence.
not to discourage you, your little "guide" is useless, and please, do yourself a favor and stop spreading it around, it embarrasses ME to even see it on the forum.
and to alagard, take a look at Ash's guide, it should give you some very good advice.

The forum isnt short on entertainment these days.

I agree.Alagard,read Ash's guide,pretty in-depth & he is the best in business if you are looking for untwinked knowhow.

I tried to give the benefit of the doubt to the guy, but peddling his 'guide' without bothering to respond to comments/suggestions is a bit irritating, since it was essentially just an equipment guide recommending BotDs and Enigmas and I TRIED to question the parts of it that made no sense, I am confused as to why it exists if he is unwilling to improve it
