So I rolled a Barbarian. Prior to D2R release, I played single player WW Barbarian, and it was…somewhat satisfying, but I switched to Frenzy on D2R BNet.
But I’m not sure what I’m doing to be fair.
Currently, my goal is the following talent tree:
Bash 20
Double Swing 20
Double Throw 1 as a pre-requisite
Frenzy 20
Sword Mastery 20 (Can switch to something else if I get different weapons, but so far, I’ve only found good swords).
Increased Stamina 1 (Seems optional, might drop)
Increased Speed 1 (Seems optional, might drop)
Howl 1 as a pre-requisite
Battle Command 1
Battle Orders 1
Shout 1
Iron Skin 1 as a pre-requisite
Natural Resistance 1+ as needed for Hell mode
I’ve seen several different build options, so I’m not sure if this is decent or not. I’ve seen Leap on builds, but frankly, I find Leap clunky an useless. But I’m not sure if this is a good point allocation or not.
Beyond that, I switched to Frenzy from WW because I found WW lackluster when it came to boss fights. Change my mind though…what is a good Barbarian build?
For reference, as Frenzy, my rotation is simply to hit Battle Command > Battle Orders > Shout, then tap Frenzy, and Double Swing away, refreshing Frenzy as needed (primary skill is Double Swing, and secondary rotates between the commands and then Frenzy).
Am I doing it wrong?
