Get a Lacerator Winged Axe, has 33% chance to cast Amp damage on strike. Or get merc a Reapers toll for Decrepify. Gavel of pain hammer has 3 charges if Amp Damage and only 20k to refill. Spellcaster (Unique Axe) has Decrepify charges or Atmas Scarab (The amulet not Armor) has a 5% chance to cast Amp on striking + gives 20% attack rating bonus. All viable options without Berserk. Cause Decrepify only takes -33% where as Amp damage negates -100%. Had one of the hell ancients get Stone skin once and even with Amp he was physical immune, only guy I've ever seen Amp not work on.rgp151 wrote: 2 years ago Just killed my first true physical immune in Hell.

I guess between the merc and bit of elemental damage I was doing, it got him down. Again, I'm not spec'ed into Berzerk. Not worth the 3 skill points IMO. This kinda proved that to myself. I think between Howl and other means of dealing with physical immunity, Berzerk isn't worth it for a Frenzy Barb.

Just defeated Baal at level 80 with this guy. As suspected, didn't have any upgrades past making that Death sword. But basically, I was barely getting by in Act 1 prior to making that Eth Death, but once I had that I was able to pretty well sail through to the end.
I had leveled up quite a bit in Act 1 doing Pit and Andriel runs. But running the Pit basically was the Key, cause that's where I got the Eth Colossus Blade for Death. Also, having a ton of runes stashed from other chars. I never got a rune drop past Um. Had to cube a bunch of stuff up to get Vex and Gul.
I couldn't have made it without that. On the other hand, my Bonemancer was able to make it through on generally found gear, with just a little twinking, but nothing really critical. Prolly could have done him on just found gear. Virtually all of the gear on my Barb was found in Nightmare. Basically everything except the swords, and I also crafted all the jewelry in Act 1 Hell, but guess that could have been done in NM. It didn't require any Hell specific items.

Here he is post victory. Keep in mind this is solo, self-found, minor twinking.
The CB says 25%, but obviously Death itself does 50%, so I guess it's 25% on main hand and 75% on off-hand.
