PvP WolfBarb question
So far, I am pretty happy with this build, actually did his first bit of dueling today and had pretty good success considering this is my first melee build. Although I am not sure how good the other guys actually were as it was on a pub, I think I will keep at it with this guy.
My biggest problem ended up being a smiter, I ended up about 2-6 against him. I am assuming smiters will always have the upper hand, but are there better ways to approach them?
If it helps, here is my gear:
3/6/6/6 Wolfhowl Shael
13ED Scarab Husk Fort
Rare Belt- 24FHR, 28Str, 35Life, 9FRes
192ED Gore Rider
35EDam SteelRends (working on acquiring better ones)
147Base Storm Shield Shael
223ED Gris Caddy 4x Shael
Angelic Combo /w Rare Ring 7LL 6ML 92AR 29FRes
Duel Hoto Switch
Nigma Prebuff
BK+SoJ+Maras Prebuff
Arach Prebuff
3 WC GC Prebuff
Alternate Jewelry: Atmas Scarab, Duel Angelics, Ravenfrost
Varied Masteries Lifers, MD/AR/Life GCs, AR/Life scs, MD/AR/Life scs and a few res charms scs to make up for lacking res areas.
Atmas
All in all with charms and prebuff, I end up with just under 7600 life. I have a MaxDam/AR/FHR sc to put me over the breakpoint for FHR also.
Other question I have, what are the str req for up'ed gores? I am thinking about up'ing the pair I have if I don't have to invest str in to them. I was going to up my rare belt, but it would render the str bonus on them pretty useless as equipping the belt would put it at the top end of str requirements.
