I wanted to theorycraft a LoN or LoD Seismic Slam Barbarian on DiabloFans, but I have to create a Twich account to do so. No thanks. I really dislike having to create an account just to create an account these days. Too much.
Not having access to the multitude of items in the Diablo loot table, I am a bit stumped.
I know this build won’t be as viable as a Frenzy or HoTA, but I would like to see how far I can go with this build. Anyone make one and played it that can share their build make or theorycrafted one and can share their thoughts?
I have the 2-handed weapon and bracers for the cube, was thinking maybe a zodiac for ring/ammy slot. Of course, I could put an immune ammy there or a Flavor of Time.
I have the 1-handed weapon, 140% roll, but it’s not an ancient. I can always run bounties and roll it to one, especially since I haven’t found an ancient one. I have an ancient Doombringer for the +phys dam and an ancient Echo of Fury 2.7k w/7% atk spd.
Armor: I have more than enough ancients to fully equip my Barbarian for LoD or LoN. I am sure most would be placeholders.
Bracers? I was thinking Nemesis, but I’ll give that to the follower. Maybe, Mortik’s Brace just because I am a Barbarian.
Boots? I was thinking Lut Socks for extra mobility and the only other ancient boots I have are Fire Walkers. I forget the name of the blue ones that grant immune to freeze. Those would be good since I can’t have my Berzerker up 100%.
Helm? Leroic’s Crown comes to mind. I do have an ancient one, but it’s only an 81%.
Shoulders? Ironically, Pauldrons of the Skeleton King are the only ancient shoulders I have. Worth it? What’s the chance that it will work? Plus, the Barbarian and the Templar have a cheat death already.
Chest? I have no clue. The only ancient chest I have atm is Heart of Iron. Placeholder at best. At least it’s an ancient.
Belt? I do have an ancient Girdle of Giants, but then I would have to add Earthquake to the list of spells. I have an ancient String of Ears with s 29% roll. I have an ancient Witching Hour with 6% atk spd and 44 crt dam.
Pants? Besides rolling a witch doctor and going for the swamp pants, would be the ideal pair of loons? Not the fart pants, I know that, even if they are fun. Heck, I’ll give those to the follower just for grins.
Gloves? Only ancient ones I have are the Gladiator Gauntlets, but I do have a non-ancient St. Archew’s Gage with really cruddy non-damage rolls.
Amulet: I have an ancient Ess of Johan with +phys dam on it. Sounds like a good placeholder, but that chance to vacuum monsters could be nice when I dump all my fury into Seismic Slam on them.
Basically, that’s about as far as I can go for theory crafting a LoN or LoD Seismic Slam Barbarian.
I chose Seismic Slam because my main is Spin-to-Win and my alts are Frenzy and HoTA.
