Please Help me Out.

I am a level 77 in Hell, right now I am in Act II. I cannot do any damage at all. It takes me 5-10 WW to kill an average enemy in The Claw Viper Temple.

The equipment I use is:
Lightsabre
Djinn Slayer
IK Body, Helm, Gloves, Boots, and Belt
Maham-Oak Curio
Manald Heal
Dwarf Star

I have maxed Sword Mastery, Battle Order, and WW. I have 7 points in Iron Skin, 6 in Natural Resist, and 5 in Increased Speed.

With equipment and all I have around 150 Dex, 200 Strength, and 200 Vitality.

If anyone can give me some help on strategy or change in equipment/weapons i would really appreciate it.

Thankyou

Your wepons are way 2 little dmg. Im surprised you can kill in less than 100 shots. Try and upgrade to a higher wep. Even doombringer is nice, but ebotd/beast if u can afford. Try and get a highlords for the ammy and switch out your rings. Get raven frosts and a leech ring. I dont see a canot be frozen mod on your equip anywhere.

6 of those 7 points in iron skin would be better off going in shout as it has the same defensive bonus as iron skin, but also synergizes with bo and bcomm to give longer duration and they synergize with it. 1 in increased speed is more than enough to keep your run fast while wearing any sort of faster run boots, so there's more points available for shout.

As for your weapons, the lightsabre is hitting the last bp, while the djinn slayer needs 15ias more to get there. If these are the only weapons you can get a hold of, then socket a 15ias jewel or shael into the djinn. The problem with unique swords are a lot of them have no ias and the ones that can reach the last ww bp with shael/15ias jewel are lacking in dmg. Your options are azurewrath (expensive, but a nice option), shael/15ias grandfather (lacking in last bp, but very nice dmg), doombringer (also lacking last bp, but decent dmg), headstriker shael/15ias (lacks last ww bp, but nice amount of deadly strike and more dmg than your djinn).

Other ways to increase dmg would be by wearing a highlord's ammy with its deadly strike, getting some poison dmg charms, charms with +dmg, even going for the full ik set with maul. You're negating your mastery, but the set bonus is huge and the crushing blow on the maul helps a lot. The maul would need any combination of shaels/15ias jewels to fill the two slots to hit the last bp. Your other option is to change out your ik set items for more standard stuff, if you have them (string of ears/verdungos, gore riders/war travs/goblin toe, laying of hands/draculs, duriels/duress runeword armor/gladiator's bane, arreats/guillamie's). Look for crushing blow/deadly strike mods.

i've been having the same sort of problem as psycho, and can't see how barbs (sword) damage can ever go very high.
Say your using bezerk, whehn maxed it's like +450 or so magic damage, but seing as most swords only go to a couple of hundred, your never going to really get anywhere. Especially if you can't get the top items.
Am i missing something?

 

[mstrnicegui]

that's not +450 magic dmg, but 450% magic dmg. Using the original poster's stat points, maxing berserk and its two synergies, and equipping a gf @ lvl 85, we'll se what its dmg is.

987-4982 dmg. Add in a maxed sword mastery and 50% chance for double dmg: you're at 1641-8283 dmg.

That's 1 handed gf too, two handed would be: 3830-11586 dmg.

As you can see, barbs can do plenty of dmg. Barbs with two-handed swords do some very nice dmg.

ok.. im getting all confused with different advice, atm:
lvl 81
Bezerk: 20
Whirl wind: 5 (1 all pre-reqs)
iron skin: 9
natural resist: 8
and 13 in sword mastery
max bo and 1 in bc (then 1 in pre-reqs)

what should i be looking at doing from here on in?

 

[mstrnicegui]

max shout for a 200% dmg bonus to berserk and duration bonuses to bo and bcomm. Shout itself will get a duration bonus from your skill points in bo and bcomm. You could also put the points into howl for the same dmg bonus as shout, but it doesn't synergize with anything other than warcry.

btw, your natural resist is a little hight.

Idealy a good ww sword has this features:
- range 3
- hits the last ww bp (-35)
- highest dmg possible
There isn`t any unique sword having all this so options are runewords and rares or a unique coming close to this mentioned above like gf or doombringer.
Good sword runewords are: crescent moon legend sword, kingslayer highland blade, passion champion sword and botd colossus blade.
As for other gear, in order to get more offensive, first u should look for the highest amount of %crushing blow and second for deadly strike.
Options: steelrends or crafted blood gloves with 10%cb, goreriders or goblin toes, duress armor, arreat or guillaume`s face, highlord`s amy.
