Best travincal barb Yorker build?

Hello all! So after I found a

Lo, I made

Phase Blade Grief, but only had necro, sorc, pally and javazon... so now I wanted a barb to use it! Everything is ssf offline, so trading isn’t an option for me...

The barb should be lvl 85 today/tomorrow, I was initially running a

Frenzy barb with Lawbringer off hand, arreats face, Treachery, highlords,

Lava Gout, gore riders, frost burn,

Dwarf Star, a crappy pally torch, max dmg & ar charms, with double +3 warcries on switch. This was a pretty good set-up with max bo and everything else into

Frenzy and it’s synergies.

Then I found an

Eth

Gimmershred... so I respected to a thrower (had another

Gimmershred in my stash) with horking ability... it was underwhelming, dang Grief spoiled me.

Now I want to respec again so I can run trav for some high runes and maybe a

Stone of Jordan.

What is the consensus in the best bard build and gear to do this? I think I have all the standard mf gear less war travs -can’t believe they haven’t dropped for me...them or Trang’s gloves

Also for my merc what’s the best? I have an upped

Guardian Angel and Kira’s, so I could go act 2 or act 5 easy... I’d also consider an act 3 fire for

Enchant with Flickering Flame, Spirit,

Hexfire, and a skiller armour just to see if it’s viable!

Thanks for all input!

I was running

Travincal super quickly with my

Whirlwind barbarian and his A2 Might merc with Reaper's Toll (for the

Decrepify proc),

Kira's Guardian and

Guardian Angel. I was never even close to dying and if Memory serves well, the runs were taking about a minute with all the horking and sifting through the loot (the slowest and most annoying part).

I also enjoy the WW barb the most. More or less same Merc setup as above but

Tal

Mask i think.

My gear is Grief,

Shako, Enigma (the MF runeword before that), Highlords, ML/LL Ring,

Raven, LOH, Wartravs,

Goldwrap (or string for survive). dual alibaba for offhand. (my

Find Item is at 60% so nn for sticks)

Mixed Dmg and MF charms.

Gheed, ani, torch.

Maybe 20% of my farm time but 80% of my welth collected in ladder.

Is the ww barb good anywhere else or just for trav runs?

I’d like to switch it up and do a few Choas/ball/

Nihlathak runs if possible

I used to run my ww barb in Chaos all the time. Clear speed is not as fast without Enigma but still enjoyable. I found some grail items and high runes despite having low mf.

Cool, thx all! My thrower is still doing ok, I’ll keep using him until lvl 85 then respec to ww. I made a few switches so now I’ve got ~65mf will no noticeable drop to res or damage

i run ww barb in ik set, higlords Wrath, ravenfrost and

Dwarf Star (

Demon Limb and

Life Tap

Wand on w swap).
4 gc comb skill/faster hit rec, 1 gc comb skill/run. 5 sc damage/life related.
2nd act might merc in Fortitude armour, andriel's visage and

The Reaper's Toll.

Find Item 51%.
he aint fast, or better say he is slow when compared with some other classes or builds, but is reliable and can do all the stuff.

@OP - My L86 WW Barb does fine in

Travincal. Grief MH,

Doombringer\Lightsaber off hand. Skin of Viper Magi chest, dual Leach rings, Harlequin’s,

Laying of Hands, Anni, Highlords, War Travs. Various AR \ Dam-AR \ MF Charms

@All
Do you lose many corpses due to the Reaper’s Toll or Lawbringer’s cold damage? What about from the

Raven Frost’s cold damage? I’ve been using my L86 WW Barb without a merc (cause he kept dying) or

Raven Frost to avoid all forms of Cold Damage. I use Berzerk to deal with Stoneskin or when I’m lazy, I use a Lightsaber in my offhand. I’d love to re-evaluate the merc or

Raven Frost if the consensus is that the number of corpses lost is insignificant.

Barb ww it's very good for trav run .
I got Death (deadly strike ;D ) and Oath for prevent monster heal ( both on berseker

Axe) , skullder cause it's cheap , Loh, mara's dropped at

Travincal ;D , 2x

Dwarf Star for fire absorb and gold find, verdungo ,

Gore Rider , switch weapons

Phase Blade with 6

Lem and alibaba

Lem

Lem / Merc with kiara /

Tomb Reaver 3 os with

Amn and

Guardian Angel . Ofc barb torch, low anni .I made a cheap barb and I was not disappointed .
The flexibility off this char is really good, can drop hr for real ;D and some gold for gamble .

For the skill 20 pts in ww / 1 in bersek / 20 pts in bo and some pts in find items / natural resistances and iron skills depends of what you need ,
increase strength for equipment and vitality rest.
Good char for Travs enjoy
