How much fhr should my beserker have?

Hi I have a beserk barb and was wondering which fhr bp I should aim for.

86 without a doubt

You don't need 86. 48% is more than good enough.

I used a lot 48% and when my last barb got arround 70% fhr (arreat, duress and some charms) i completed with charms to 86%fhr and it did made a noticeable difference.

 

[Zangeif]

I would say 86 too.

IMHO, if you can get 86% fhr, that's fine; otherwise, 48% is a good stopping point. I have two zerker builds (one with 48% fhr, 7.2k life, 10k zerk; other one has 86% fhr, 6k life, 12k zerk), and I don't see a huge advantage of 86% over 48%. What zerker builds have to worry more about is: having enough speed (I would extremely recommend getting 125% ias bp), AR, and enough damage output as to slay your foe in as few hits as possible (1-3 hits at the most.. otherwise, the battle may be lost).

thats because you have the less fhr on a guy with more life...doesnt go into recovery quite as much, try 48% on the 6k life guy, it wont be as good

AS MUCH AS YOU CAN GET.

Without sacrificing (sp?) damage reduction, life, faster attack rate. This is at least my personal philosiphy when i comes to zerkers. If anyone wants me to explain why I feel this way they'll have to wait as I am tired. :flip:

would a plain or upgraded twitch be, a good idea for Zerker?

 

[jumbo_SHRIMP]

i think duress is, in general better, or stone, both offer huge fhr and resists, one offers direct damage sources the other adds a nice boost to stats...those are both better than twitch imho

upgraded twitch isnt that bad of a choise imo

25% increased block results in a lot lower dex needed --> more in vit
20% fhr --> + fhr from arreat + fhr from verdungo's = 60, 26 more req for 86fhr bp
20% ias --> with this u only need 45 more ias to reach 9fpa zerk with botd ba

more about that +% block :
dex req @ lvl90 with storm = 203
dex req @ lvl90 with storm & twitch = 154

so with that extra block you'll need 49 less points in dex
+ u get 10extra dex & 10extra str from twitch
total = 69more points in vit

difference between dex req for max block with or without twitch gets higher while u lvl so @ lvl99 the difference is 54 dex

looking for high def armor for zerkbarb is a bad idea imo since zerk sets your def to 0, getting maxblock, good fhr & extremely high life is the best option & the stats u get on twitch are very useful (ps : 400-506def when upgraded to elite)

but thats just my opinion

*waits for rikstaker's post *
