Fury - in a claw (with good +skills)
Memory - in a +3 ES staff (other +skills to skills that can be precast (ef cold armors) are welcome)
1.10
Beast - in Zerker (or low req axe for a summoner)
Bramble
Breath of the Dying
Call to Arms - in CS or Flail
Chaos - in a claw (with good +skills)
Chains of Honor
Delirium - a 5 BO hlem is woth alot
Enigma - Most sought after item
Exile - in eth pala shiled with @ res
Heart of the Oak - in Flail (good for all casters)
Dragon - aura stacking
Dream - aura stacking
Faith - probably the best bow
Fortutide - great armor
Grief - a highly sought after rw
Infinity - many mercs use this for the Conviction aura
Insight - a great cheap runeword
Last Wish - expensive as hell and cant be used an alot of chars BUT is still highly sought for
Phoenix - great for javazons
Spirit - great for all casters and cheap. Probably the easiest runeword to make profit from
1.11
Treachery - Only 1.11 runeword that is any good
If you are going to max all those skills you are looking at 120+ skills (perquisites).
Mace Mastery: Id choose another Mastery. There are alot better options. Unless you are going for full IK again?
Iron Skin: As it is mentioned above Shout gives better defence @lvl 20 AND is party friendly
Natural Res: Diminishing returns kicks in at lvl 16 so it would be kinda dumb to max it (you get +3 all res from lvl 16 compared to lvl 20). Id dump 1 pt into it and let +skill take care of the rest. If you havnt get many +skills you can put 5 or so pts into Nat Res.
Bash: No more than 1 pt here. It doesnt do enough damage. It can only be used on single targets and Frenzy/WW is far better.
Frenzy: If you are going for IK set (as I would think since you are going with Mace Mas) you cant use Frenzy. Frenzy is a dual wield attack.
WW: You got it spot on! Max it out and use it as you main attack.
Ideas:
You are missing out in the Warcry tree it seems.
Battle Orders: Raises life/mana. Why wouldnt you want that? AND it is party friendly.
Battle Command: Life skill lvl +1. Thats nice. Not only for you but for you party aswell.
Shout: As mentioned it gives more defence than Iron Skin and is more party friendly.
Skill points wise a cookie cutter WW IK barb looks like this:
20 WW
20 BO
20 Shout
20 Mace Mastery
Rest into Iron Skin
1 BC (no need to put more than one pt since the only thing that goes up with more points is duration)
1 Nat res (as said + skills should do the trick)
1 Increased speed (why wouldnt anyone want to go faster?)
1 Berzerk (to take care of those physical immunes)
7 into perquisites
Statwise it looks like almost any other build:
Str: Enough for gear
Dex: Enough for gear
Vita: Everythiing else:
NRGY: None, nada, nil, zip, zero, zilch
Besides, Teleport was hard enough to learn for the nonspellcasting classes since it took a lot of magic.
Well, Teleporting is meant for a magic class (sorceror/sorceress) not other classes. Then its not Teleport that is the problem, but Enigma. Then we need to see Teleport removed from items (God I hope so!)
All non-light immune is easy with Lightning Javazon. I made a Light/psn hybrid and solo'ed single player (norm/nm/hell). Was really fun.
A bowazon is good, but without items it can be quite hard to get a high dmg to kill monsters fast. You will have hardly any problems, but it will be somewhat slow.
Archer class: Without a class that utilizes a bow it is NOT Diablo so I guarantee there will be a class that focusses on using a bow.
Magic class: Again, it will not be Diablo without a class that focusses in the use of magic. Not a hyprid, but a class that rely on magic only.
3rd class: Now, this is where I have my doubt. While the other two classes are certain to be in the game the last one is doubtful. I think its gonna be some sort of Warrior/Paladin class. The Paladin will have some healing powers, but not too much.
There is for sure gonnaa be released an expansion pack. I think its gonna include two new classes. None which we have seen before, but some sort of Shapeshifter (Druid) and an other im have no idea about
Question: The Warrior, Rogue, and Sorcerer from D1 were corupted and became The Wanderer, Blood Raven, and The Summoner in D2, correct? Answer: Correct. And yes, it is highly likely that something similar will happen to the heroes of DII, but that has not been revealed yet.
I didnt know this! Where did you read this? Are you sure?
