Best Barb spec for sniping Elites and Heralds

Hi there, I'm currently in progress of leveling 'Taxman' who is supposed to collect outstanding tax debt in all of Sanctuary with the purpose to hunt heralds and enforcing double-entry bookkeeping. Did anyone accumulate experience on how to spec / gear a Barb so it can handle the higher level heralds? Should I go for an uber-like spec?

Any tips are highly appreciated!
Kind regards

I never did heralds but

Frenzy is the best 1v1 build for barb and you can easily handle ubers with it.
So simply

Howl the enemies then annihilate your target with

Frenzy.

If you do not have enough life leech, take a

Life Tap

Wand on your weapons switch.

Alright, Taxman reached Lvl75 and I got an impression for the first time of how many Elites are actually Physical Immune. Before I find an appropriate Sunder Charm, any options with

Frenzy are pretty much ruled out.
I will check out

Frenzy once I can deal with those immunities. Berzerk is a pretty stressful gameplay loop, imho, especially if the motoric automatisms are not there yet...

My dual Grief Travhorker does OK against Heralds using

Whirlwind, but HP of Stone Skin Heralds should be reduced before switching to barb, as they just take too long otherwise, even with sunder. That said, i would add my voice to

Frenzy as a general recommendation.

But farming TZ with barb is a pain imo, independent of build. I tend to look at today's barb as a very specialized char with

Find Item as the outstanding feature. I use WW Horker only for

Travincal/Heralds and Warcry horker only for cows, for example.

It seems having Taxman run behind a

Nova sorc to do have his way with the corpses is most efficient for all involved.

My berserker Pelle could be considered a tax collector of sorts. Farming heralds I have been swapping items around some. I have used him mostly for farming the pit and keys but recently I have been using him for terrorized act 1 where so many of those shards drop. My current set up keep in mind Pelle has made me some of that hard money not that weak fiat currency. Main weapon : Grief -Off hand Last Wish or 6 socket

Phase Blade with

Ist runes

Helm Harlequins crest with

Cham depending on how tough the farming is you may want to consider using storm shield until you get to some levels things get alot easier around level 90+ .

Belt

String of Ears amulet high lords

Boots

War Traveler 10 fcr rings with min max dmg and life/mana leech the gloves can be swapped around but mostly i find my self using

Laying of Hands and of course Enigma Armor on my weapon swap I use

Ist'ed suicide branches and us that to TP around fast and hork filled inventory sharp grand charms and MF small charms he has 297% mf on Kill and 310% on hork. If i am just doing keys or pit i swap to more mf

Gold wrap

Belt chancies for glove and what not. Pelle says "I like the splats and pops." On another note I got tired of swapping for farming the Trav so i leveled up a separate barb for that who is a

Gold find barb who also finds lots of nice runes he also uses

Berserk I just find

Berserk to be more consistent on killing elites in 1 or 2 hits VS

Frenzy which is lots of fun to play also just not as efficient for me.

I know it isn't nearly as popular but I have been using a WW barb. I placed a few points into

Frenzy for 1v1 situations. As other people mentioned,

Howl can be used to fear targets so you can just focus down the

Herald or whatever you are fighting. Having one point into

Berserk is extremely important for Phys Immunes and just shreds them.

My WW spec:
Dual Grief PB

Shako or G-face depending on if you want more MF or kill speed

Laying of Hands but I have more recently been experimenting with

Steelrend and they have been actually really good
Fortitude chest (also another reason to experiment with

Steelrend)
War Trav or

Gore Rider
Highlord amulet

Raven Frost
Dual Leech ring

If your focus is to target farm heralds and stuff like that then a

Frenzy build might be better and probably is. I like the idea of using WW for density though and sometimes just like to try something different. In all my years of playing D2R I never really tried the WW spec up until recently. I essentially

Frenzy a target a couple times to get my move speed/AS up and then just start spinning around till everything is dead. The CB from the gear (G-face, Gores,

Steelrend) definitely helps for killing stuff and even makes WW effective for killing bosses too. The move speed from

Frenzy really helps so you can WW from group to group, which is pretty nice.
