So ive never tried an item finding barb before. Never put a skill point in it. But i found a 2 os helm with itemfind skill on it and decided to do a bit of research on the build as a barbarian mfer item finder. Ive done conc/ww/zerk/frenzy builds, all fun. but how have i never tried this?
Current lvl 34 worldstone keep ready to kill baal now... well a few more levels of grinding to 38ish first i think before i head to NM. But wow this has been a blast so far. even though i dont have hardly any mf yet, im addicted to "horkin" corpses LOL. So i do not have decked out gear or anything and have few questions if anyone is familiar with build.
1. Do you just topaz your helm until later in game when more gear is found, or do you load up on the topaz's early and start item finding as soon as you can? My first thought was to not even care until maybe NM meph, but honestly I would be happy with a few sigon pieces lol, which i know can drop in normal. I was WW/conc and was owning pretty good but restated to doubleswing/frenzy and lvl 16 item find after i found the helm.
2.are itemfind barbs better online with others having killed more bodies, or is single player still fun for this build? I play HC only, so i guess im trying to find the balance of killing to itemfind quicker vs better stat gear for survivability. Seems with little mf that im finding almost nothing so far. I mean a yellow every now and then. But im still addicted to trying lol.
3. I do not even use runeword mod, so do you think weap/shield is better than dual wield, considering i will have only self found gear?

Thanx for any input, i perused old posts looking about mf itemfind barbs, and seems like no one has talked about much in quite some time.

(i posted in SP, sorry if its better for barb post, im always more interested in SP section :smug:)
