You also want to max the weapon specialization of your choice (mace, sword). You can also dump extra points in shout for more defense after you finish maxing other skills. What are important to cap is battle orders shout. You won’t need to max whirlwind or berserk but 1 point in each is recommended. You don’t need to max howl, leap or any of that. The thing about barbarians is they have a lot of good one point skills. These can help you from getting surrounded but at higher levels, moving and doing damage is important and using ww will be safer in general to move around monsters as spamming leap or howl will drain your mana while ww allows you to leech mana when u get an item with the leech mana affix, but howl is great to isolate unique and champion monsters. You’ll find yourself surrounded often and ww is a great way to move away from packs while also proccing life leech. You’re also going to want a point in berserk and whirlwind purely because of their utility. You can gain frenzy stacks and then switch to double swing which will be faster than frenzy itself until you get endgame gear. Something that would keep the enemies off me would be good, so I was thinking Howl, but I'm open to whatever.Īny suggestions for a last support skill?Īlso you’re gonna want to use frenzy just because it gives you an attack speed buff. I'm planning to do Double Swing 9, Battle Orders 20, Mace Mastery 20, Bash 20 for the Double Swing damage bonus, and then all the one point wonders (Increased Stamina, Natural Resist, Battle Cry, Find Item, that sort of thing).ĭepending on how high I play, I'll have 10-20 points I can put in my build, I was thinking about Howl (I like it, never maxed it) or Grim Ward (maybe more important for a Thrower, never tried it). So I'm doing Double Swing because its kinda speedy, but not beyond my control. Do barbs really pump STR to 225 for the top end mauls?Īnyway, I know Double Swing is inferior to Frenzy or other builds, but I'm OLD now and just cant handle the Frenzy speed, and I hate the slow feel of concentration or berserk, and Whirlwind isn't my thing, confuses the hell out of me. And I hope I remember right that as a Barb, I can wield a 2H weapon in one hand. I'm making a Double Swing barbarian with dual wielded maces.
