noobie 2 barbs...

This is my first barb so plz answer a few questions for a noobie...

I can't decide on which route to go, frenzy or ww? I will be strictly PvM and just want to have fun with my barb. Maybe do some key runs and might even try uber trist with him. I was kinda leaning towards Frenzy but was worried how good it was for crowd control? If I get surrounded am i screwed? Also, what 2 weapons would be the best to equip if I go Frenzy? Thanks!

Re: noobie 2 barbs...

Well, what possible equipment do you have available? That could help decide which is better for you.

As for the other questions...
-If you really plan on doing Ubers, go Frenzy; Whirlwind can't trigger Life Tap from Dracul's Grasp (or any other Chance to Cast effects, for that matter).
-For crowd control, you're a barbarian. You have Howl, Taunt, War Cry, and Battle Cry. Use them.
-Check some of the guides for the best equipment.

Re: noobie 2 barbs...

if you just want to have fun, I'd choose berserker.
But if you want frenzy or ww, frenzy is your choice...ww is kinda boring

As for frenzy weapons, botd/death is good combo.

Re: noobie 2 barbs...

yeah beserk is real good pvm, iron maiden has no effect n of course its high magic dmg, but with the 0 def thing i don't know bout crowd control, n i have no idea about ubering it. But yeah frenzy is the uber barb, just get lots of res so u can take conv, get sum life tap, use those cries n u'll be fine
