Description

Hello,

I play Solo offline, and I have all the gear/runewords. I have tested a few builds, but would like your opinions on what's the best end-game level-up build.
I want to farm exp asap, currently level 85, I chose Whirlwind and running Chaos in TZ3 or normal 5x players count.
Build:
- 2x Grief
- Enigma
- Arreat with Ancient physical jewel
-LoH gloves
- Gore Boots
- Highlords amu
- 1x dual leech rings + 1x ravens
- String of Ears
- Torch + Anni and Max dmg AR GC + 3 max dmg AR SC

Merc: I chose Act 2 with might aura
- Andy's
- Reaper's tolls
- Fortitude

Any recommendation?

Can be used to make Runewords:

If you want to run Chaos Sanctuary or any other high density map, WW is best.

looks solid, perhaps prebuff with Demon Limb, if using axes perhaps u want to experiment with a Death in offhand for more cb on higher player counts or bosses, be sure u hit nice attack speed frames, and gl & hf.

You mean Grief + Death in PB?
Will try with Demon Limb yes.
Indeed, I did not check the IAS BP, I thought with the gear, I should be hitting the right one, need to double check.

Death is best in ethereal Berserker Axe not in Phase Blade.

I only have maxed out Sword mastery, for Death, I need to allocate points to Axe Mastery too no? Still worth it?

Better have to make it in an ethereal Colossus Blade or Colossus Sword.
Take care, it's a slow runeword.

Death is effective against high hp ennemies.
For Chaos Sanctuary, Grief may be better unless playing in high /player.

I am trying the throw barb build running Chaos, it's kind of fun, not sure it's faster than WW

I am running a Double Swing barb and just doing TZ . Same Helm setup, with Duress/Prudence, Verdungos, Grief/Destruction and off = Lawbringer/ Dreadfang, Venom Grip/ Blood Gloves, same Boots, same rings. Only ever had 1 Herald I couldn't kill, but that one had the worsts mods for a melee build.
You do TZ one player count or more?

I tried with Dreadfang, but it's a bit clunky with WW, since I have to use a different attack to proc Amp, then start WW.
Have Dreadfang on Act 5 merc is kind of bad as the Shout overrides Amp. With the downtime, I don't think it's better than Act 2 with Might + Reaper's toll

I need to test out more weapon combinations vs just 2x Griefs

I would, realy think hard before commiting to spend runes for a Death in a pb, the damage is going to suffer! , Tornaldo said the most important, I would look at attack speed before commiting to roll the runewords, i would select the collosus sword it has the most damage, Colossus Blade has a bit more attack speed, they both have the same range so should not cause any issue having one of each equiped. likely the pb dual Grief setup is going to be the most effective for most scenarios, the optimized p8 solo tz, boss killer xp farmer will require Sacrifice and work. be sure to use a Eth sword if making the Death, massive extra damage, good luck with your barb
7
Rygar, Shout should not be able to overwrite amp. Shout is a buff for you and your party, amp is a curse aplied to enemies, perhaps you ment Taunt?
7
btw I would also make sure to have a pair of Blood Gloves for crushing blow laying around for a quick switch if you want to do maps without many demons, ex tz cows, canyon of magi and Tal rashas tombs

Even with the current 2x Grief, I think P8 TZ Chaos would be too slow. I run P3 or P5 TZ Chaos, the speed is acceptable. The problem with Chaos is all the undead that won't give me a corpse to put the totem (I forgot the name) to add extra damage, only those pitlords' would allow me to do so, increasing the damage significantly (+ Decrepify from Reapers).

Yes, I said Shout for everything that comes out of the mouth :D
Taunt is the only skill from that Merc ^^

Yes I have a pair of 20/10. But for Chaos, I keep LoH of course.

For Chaos Sanctuary, Lawbringer or Azurewrath with Sanctuary Aura are dope.

With it, you deal hudge damage and you can leech from undeads.

That's cheap, you really should give a try.

I need to test it out, which is better Lawbringer or Azurewrath? To be paired with a Grief right? You think it will be better than 2x griefs?

I am thinking about swapping Reaper's to Pride on the merc too.

nothing beats the 2x Grief

reaper's is better because of the -50% physical penalty.
