Barb leveling

I had but with high str req and couldn't manage to find a low str one with 4sock... so waited till I got to lvl 70 and only then my merc could use it, but yea I guess if I'd put a bit more effort in trading for a low one I could save me a lot of hassle.

alright, switched back from screamer to the madman and killed nm meph at lvl 46, nm diablo at lvl 49 with double Unbending Will. a little slow tbh but very safe and overall enjoyable

got a very nice rare sword with 5% ctc amplify dmg, lvl required 51, hope it will accelerate Baal's demise.. or do i need crushing blow already on nightmare?

other than that, next power surge will come only at lvl 59, with Grief

Death could be possible at 55, but i don't see a good base ( Colossus Sword is 60, Phase Blade's base dmg is a bit low?)

other gear is Arreat's Face, triple Immortal King ( Belt, gloves, Boots), Raven Frost, rare ring and amulet, and.. Skullder's Ire. not sure what would be better at this point?

believe me I did try it out on most of my seven zons =)

barb doesn't need a valk though, and +3 to Critical Strike (he has only +1 to all skills from Battle Command) is nice of course but is it worth it? maybe one more point is possible from Telling of Beads

i'm rather thinking Crow Caw or Duriel's Shell?

For nightmare runs I use Peace for almost any physical class.

Try it out and you'll see what I mean.
