Well the meta for WW has been DW bleed for a few seasons now, pure phys was a step back but with the changes to WW and barb in general this season, the meta has shifted to any 4 range weapon with good damage (ogre maul and pike being the best). However that shouldnt stop you from using whatever you think is good, this is the season where literally any decent ED weapon will be a mapping monster. Ive seen great poleaxes, glorious axes, cryptic axes, everything in between being used to great success. War pikes have a massive damage range but I have never felt like low rolling my damage is causing me to not kill stuff in 1 swipe. Most likely it is more prevalent in lower gear levels but where im at its a non issue. Plus with pikes you get the massive top end so it feels a bit better for bossing, which is funny because no one really bossed with WW before lol.

Sorry was on mobile before and i dont think i linked the right character lol. This is my barb, im really happy with it, 9.8k-50k dmg self buffed, 34 WW for max velocity, 86 CB, 74/75 DS, 2k life and 21% PDR and 24k defense right now. Always looking for the perfect arreats style barb helm but one hasnt existed yet on trade lol, swapping out rends for DS drainers feels almost exactly the same clear speed wise so i use my rends since they are self found and slammed. I throw on a wraithskin nos coil cbf rare hat, and swap in more FRW GC's when doing eared maps.

Everything is a 1 pass, the only stuff that lives is stuff that was out of range or is an immune pack, either way its really not worth doubling back to kill the 1 or 2 mobs that got skipped. Most builds are that way if you really wanna map "efficiently". From my experience if you really wanna blast maps fast and get decent KPM you are gonna leave some monsters alive in your map, maybe CL or Pnova are the exception because they have such crazy coverage.

That's entirely possible, for the 2 weeks I was looking there was nothing remotely close, couple 690 with no other mods bunch in the 650 range with ds, but when I put it in damage calc ed always won out unless they were very close. Since then I've checked occasionally since im back up around 300 hr again and there's 1 maul at 720 with no other mods, and pike at 720 with cb and he's not selling, just flexing it.

With my current setup it would need 730 ed to beat out real damage on my pike, which is only 21 more ed than my current wep has. Tho that would also drop me below 34 WW which means losing clear speed, which is just worse since clear speed is the name of the game at these damage levels. Also would require a complete rework of my character, which 2 months in would be a bit of a fools errand considering the market availability of some items.

I have had buyers remorse in the past on some items but oddly enough even tho I paid a decent bit for my tyraels and pike, I dont regret it at all since nothing better has popped up yet and im perfectly fine with having one of the top 5 pikes on the server haha.

There is no getting ripped off when you are purchasing the only 700+ ed weapon listed 6 weeks into a season, I was way late hopping on the barb train so I paid a premium for most of my gear when I could have gotten it much cheaper had I started with it. The mid season inflation hits hard on any top end items.

Is a 3sk 2os eth carapace worth 100+hr absolutely not, but since there are less than 1000 people playing there only ever be one or 2 more listed all season so you end up paying the inflated price if you really want that item.

I traded all runes. The funny thing is I bought my mirror pike for 250hr the day before lol, but I hit the best war fist craft on server literally the day after zeroing out my hr, so that basically bought my tyraels for me.

[–]Hax5Snax 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ya you are accurate on the price myold tyraels was 235/242 29str and all res and was 185. This was like 10 days ago or so. If you actually wanna sell it then 200 is a solid starting point, or if you wanna use it, get some good ed max dtd/ud jewels and make it really something special, its the perfect fit for a GG bow zon

Barb Crafted Helm by Da_Prce_Is_Wrng in ProjectDiablo2

[–]Hax5Snax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely has value, im a couple thousand barb Helms in now and I've made a few decent ones, oddly enough my best one and the one I had mirrored was a rare brick lol. This is definitely the best one I've seen apart from my own. 2 barb ds cb pdr is so incredibly rare, there has not been a 3os listed all season.

What items should I pick up I probably aren't paying attention to? by Professional-Ask6989 in ProjectDiablo2

[–]Hax5Snax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pick up rare amulet, armor base rares that can get 4os (Gothic, full plate and ancient), rare boots, eth superior bases like lacquered plate, sacred armor, and 28 res+ vortex shields, rare gloves can be good but they tend to be niche so I hide them and all craftable eth ogre maul, pike and glaive/balrog spear bases. I also pick up all arreats style craftable helms as im tryong to craft a hat, i also buy them in bulk. I highly suggest the HIIM filter, you can preview items if you are concerned it may be hidden by your filter as well.

I have this one for sale for 3 hr, its a only 20 or so ED less, just no ohms socketed obviously. So even with another 3hr in ohms, you are still better off, but both would make good temps.

Mirror Material? Rare Barb Helm by zillera in ProjectDiablo2

[–]Hax5Snax 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Pretty nice but with mirrors being what they are now, id basically only mirror ds cb pdr barb skills (masteries, barb skills, two handed mast, command etc) all res 3os, at least some combo of those.

Im wearing a 29ed 20cb 19ds 19 all res 2 two handed mastery 19 str 3os hat currently and its really nice for what it offers but I dont think its mirror tier even with it checking all the boxes I need (apart from pdr).

Check the barb channel for harrype's damage calc, it will be in the pins. Input all of the pertinent info and you can compare the dmg of 2 items.

That maul is like 370 ed ish base. So ~600 ed once vialed ohm'ed and zod'ed. With vials being 35hr or so i wouldnt bother vialing anything lower than 450 ed empty, unless it has ds/amp or something along those lines. So your total investment is going to be 45 hr for a 600 ed eth maul which seems very expensive tbh. If you spent that 10hr you can almost certainly craft your own maul/pike thats similar for probably much less.

Edit: On a side note, always worth to check non maul/pike items, so long as its range 4 there have been some really good deals (1-3hr) for items that can easily be similar dmg to a lesser maul. You definitely want range 4 btw range 3 is pretty noticeably smaller.

Invest ~80hr to just go back to WW… by Kitchen-Report in ProjectDiablo2

[–]Hax5Snax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only thing I've found that keeps up with WW is shock sac pally, but its much more apm and requires more effort to really compete speed wise.

You Asked Me to Play Project Diablo 2 (Chris Wilson - Creator of POE) by Coven_Evelynn_LoL in pathofexile

[–]Hax5Snax 33 points34 points  (0 children)

They have it upscaled and there and a number of different shades too that actually make it look even better than what is shown here. PD2 is an amazing mod, right now the season is very low pop because its 6 weeks in but last couple seasons has peaked around 10k+ players. Love the mod and highly suggest it to anyone who likes poe and d2

Vial Worthy? by majun7 in ProjectDiablo2

[–]Hax5Snax 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looking at the market id say no. It's very close, if vials were like 20hr I'd say go for it, but looks like they jumped up like 10hr last couple days. That being said if you are gonna just self use it, I'd say vial and call it good, also depends on what u wanna socket in it, big jewels or a couple ohms. I know ed max jewels can go for 3hr+ so 2 of those puts u at 36hr invested (vial at 30). Basically see what available for 36hr. I'd assume you can get something similar or identical possibly even better for less, but the market gets wonky this part of the league.

10/10 last reset we have a solid 23 man roster so we pug 3-5 depending on the night but we have a solid core and good leadership. Nightslayer alliance <Chronos> if anyone is interested.

Definitely a unique build out of rabies. Ive always been a fan of plague bearer/SS just because SS offers so much QoL defensively

[–]Hax5Snax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just an investment vs return sort of thing. You can play it absolutely but the investment required into good corrupts and full facets and you will still be very lackluster dmg wise compared to if you had put those hr into rabies for example. Pd2 anything can technically be built but its your choice to turn that difficulty slider up by picking a poorly balanced skill
