Keyrunner Concentrate Barb
Hi all,
I have a lvl 84 Concentrator specializing in running the Countess and Nihlathak for keys. I was wondering if you could give me some tips or hints for better gear.
This is what I use now and why I use it or what I'm planning to change it to:
- Doombringer (planning to get either Grandfather or BoTD. Faster kills = more keys :smiley: )
- Pdiamanted Stormshield (just an excellent shield. Maybe I'll replace the Pdiamond with an IAS jewel since I have plenty resists anyway)
- Mage Plate Enigma (for Teleport of course. I put it in a Mage Plate, so I can interchange it with my Summonancer. It's a light plate as well, so no decreased speed)
- Arreat's Face (+4 to Increased Speed. Probably the best Barb helm anyway)
- Laying of Hands (IAS, Fire Resist doesn't hurt, either)
- Nightsmoke (50% DGTM; Teleporting takes a lot of mana and there's plenty of mana burn monsters around as well. Might upgrade this one for an extra row of slots)
- Ravenfrost (getting chilled increases time taken to run. Otherwise an excellent ring anyway)
- A silly resist all +ATR rare ring
- Rare amulet with 6ll, +50 Life, +38 Mana and some other minor mods (+ Mana for Teleport, nice mods anyway. Might get Highlords as replacements)
On switch:
- Spectral Shard (FCR and mana for Teleport. Planning to replace it with Wizardspike, which has basically the same stats, but with 75 prismatic resist)
- Gerke's Sanctuary (11 damage reduction against Tomb Vipers. 29 resist and 75% blocking as well. Sadly no faster blocking)
Using a 10/15 Barb Torch as well, with some + life, + max damage and ATR and some resist charms. I don't plan to get twinkeled here, since it just isn't necessary.
Any suggestions to improve my runs? :grin:
EDIT: I forgot about my Merc. I don't really use him, since he dies so often form Tomb Vipers. I've recently gambled a Tiara with 23 damage reduction. Would that help keeping him alive?
