Assuming the magic find on the rest of the gear is high enough (say, 150%+) then dual, 2X Isted Ali-baba's are a better offhand switch than 2X 6-Isted phase blades. The diminishing returns on magic find's chance of finding unique items mean they're almost no effective difference between 2X 6-Isted Phase Blades and 2X, 2-Isted Ali-babas when it comes to finding uniques, especially if you have a substantial amount of magic find on the rest of your gear. However, the 2X Ali-Babas will give you some pretty insane gold find, allowing you to run your barb as both a Travincal magic finder and a Travincal gold finder.
Back in the day we twinked the MF to be about 150%. 150-200 is the goldilocks zone unless you're hunting uniques. You get more uniques with higher MF, so you want as much as possible. If you're hunting rares, though 150-200 is what we ran on Classic during it's heyday. A lot of testing gone into that. You just don't finish whatever Hell bosses you're farming and raid people's games in order to run it properly. MF>GF in general. It's a big difference if you start running 400+ mf in regards to uniques regardless of diminishing returns. You want as much as possible that you can stay alive with in LOD. We also had a version with 0 MF to find rares running the bosses aforementioned without taking the quests since it seems to give you the best drops, at least it for sure did back then. Otherwise we'd run 150-200 and switch out during boss runs.

Hello guys. I recommed using this build using Rhyme insteat od 6 isted PB. I had chamed shako with 6 isted PB but the travs are more dangerous due to your low defence when attacking. I think the best version of using this build is in the pit when you have Eni

I would really appreciate if you could suggest it to the devs even tho you are not a controller player, there are a lot people who use one and they will be thankful for any added option to use one of your builds as comfortable as possible. Thank you for your attention. Have a good one and stay healthy. Greetings from Berlin, Hannes
Lack of a mouse is so huge on console yet doesn't get mentioned enough. I'd rather have keyboard mouse support on console than just about any change in 2.4
Am I right in saying defense value is worthless on this build as we are either running or hitting? (Forget tele as emigma is extremely hard for casual players)

I wrote a comment here 1 day ago for my recommandion of Lamas build. Today I did maybe 30 run and Jah run drop after hork. Guys dont give up. EDIT: after i made Enigma, in the road to Baal mini boss droped me gryfin

thanks for the vid! any suggestions on merc? I have a nice a2 might aura merc with pride, but it wont work for "horking", because pride has +3 freezes target. Obedience and reapers toll has also cold damage. A1 merc with faith for fanaticism?
crazy idea, pride+might a2 merc, leave Hassan outside with a steel shade on for the auras, jump in with leap and kill everything yourself? he cant follow you in and touch the council.
It depends on what build you're doing trav with. Are you actively using berserk or are you just using shout and leaps to support your merc? If you are letting the merc kill everything while you just support with shouts and leaps then reaper's toll is probably generally the best affordable option even if you lose a corpse here and there, the decrepify procs are just that good and they also break immunities. The actual best option is probably breath of the dying if you have some other means to deal with physical immunities but it's expensive. If you use a character that can kill trav quickly by themselves without relying on a merc then i would try to stay away from cold damage as much as possible even if you have to use a "worse" option on your merc. Insight should be more than enough for most builds... a good but expensive alternative is infinity. You can also just regular unique weapons like bonehew or Aroic's needle. That being said i think that the new frenzy barb using a grief will end up being the "best" option for most trav running builds once the new patch comes out.
Another honorable mention is Hoto's if you steal a couple from other toons you might have. You need to make up for the slight FCR difference but they also give the juicy res and they function as +3 warcry sticks, so you kinda get the best of both worlds for barb swaps.
@@MrLlamaSC I disagree; unless you are using a shield. If you are not using a shield, your primary weapons don't have any res and you are bound to stack enough res without depending on items on hands. Thus, when res problem is solved for primary weapoins, it is also solved for swap weapons; extra res from wizzy will be overkill. Extra mana is meh. +2 to hork and teleport are better; not very important; but still better from a min/max perspective. If you are using a shield, 1 suicide + 1 wizzy
@@michaelbellamy5861 It is an honorable mention but still not ideal. suicide branch > wiz >> hoto. With double hoto, you will need to find another 15 fcr (not slight fcr difference) which will result in non-trivial compromises. Barb already has enough hp and if you are not using a shield, you already should have solved res problem for your primary weapons, which means it is solved for secondary weapons as well. The stat to focus here is fcr, then +skill, then other stats. If you are using a shield, 1 wiz and 1 suicide is the answer.
@@onurdagci I'm aware of the drawbacks. I didn't say its bis, I literally said its an inferior alternative. Doesn't mean someone can't make use of the suggestion. People less knowledgable about the game have a higher chance of hanging onto two hotos due to their other character than they do suicide branch which is just a niche fcr pick that only a barb would want 2 of ever. That said there have also been times I've ran with double hoto. If you already have a 20fcr ammy and a fcr leech ring you don't really have to compromise anything and you get a better BO swap. Again, not saying its the best route to go but its an option worth mentioning.

magic finding with a character with an inventory full of charms so everytime you pick something up you have to open up your inventory and manually drag the item into your cube... and again to ID them and take them back out. so bloody stupid
Yeah, the game is very archaic for that and many other things. I'm not a fan of a separate inventory for charms but I think they should further increase the size of the cube, and make loot automatically be sent to it when picked up. The whole gestion of space need an upgrade, enough of playing Tetris! Automatic sorting with custom settings along more stash space should have been the biggest feature of D2R.
buy an xbox. much cheaper than a gamer pc, and it works surprisingly well. I have been playing since the release and I love it. I tested hammerdin, zealot, warcry barb and now bowazon. Very much fun. Just a suggestion :)

I've always wanted to know. Are you using an offline character? If so how do you get so much fancy gear for an offline character? I'd rather play offline but I wouldn't know how to get all that fancy gear.
I'm sorry, but I have to be the critical asshole. You've always wanted to know? How long has this "always" gone on? I mean, you know, you can do research by pulling your phone out of your pocket. The time you spent writing your comment you could've have type a few words into a search engine.
Not to be offensive but this stuff isn't fancy at all. The mistake people often make is they farm nightmare /normal but the items he's displaying are quite average. Takes a few weeks to farm but definitely wouldn't say gg. The only really tough thing to farm would be grief and that's for the LO rune. It's also not hero edited because if it was, all stats on items would be perfect. His grief for example only rolled 30 something percent. If it were hero edited it would be 40% with 400 damage
@@DesroTy He also has a tonne of items on every page of his inventory as well. I've played hundreds of hours. High runes are super rare. I've had a Lo for example but never found a Mal. I used to play the original D2 as well when it came out 20+ years ago. Never in my life have I ever found a Ber, Sur, Ohm, Cham or Jah. I've never found a Highlord's on my own. It would take ages to find that many MF small charms too. Getting 1, ok, but enough to fill your Inventory would take forever. Also, he has hundreds of other videos showing an insane amount of powerful items.
TLDR; I tried this build without grief, torch and other end-game pieces and it sux. Dmg was low, AR was low, was dying fast. I have switched to WW version of the build with the SAME gear, did some small cheap optimisations, and now can do runs reliably and fast, never use fulls ua-cam.com/video/4IVx2Kij11M/v-deo.html
Talking about your "optimal" gear: Why 2 WizSpikes instead of 2 SuicideBranches, which give the same FCR but also give +2 allSkills for your warCrys, which WizSpikes do not?? (mana is not a problem with 2 suicideB either) Why would you use a 6 socketed IST Phaseblade instead of CrystalSword? U won t attack with the IST d blade anyway, and If u choose a Crystall, U can use this MF powerHouse for other chars also, like MFSorc on Switch. Other then that, good stuff like always llama
My best gold/mf brb --- beast+alibaba, all stuff extra gold, wt, chance. Merc guilaume face, forti, eth reapers. Idc for that cold dmg, merc with fana just wrecks all monsters, I only need use that stun for councils and hork
Hey MrLlamaSC ! Nice video dude !!! Wouldn't it be nice if Blizzard build a Charm inventory for us? Like what Last Epoch and Project D2 have... a space where we can fill with charms and still have our inventory space to comfortably farm... I don't think it would be bad for anyone to have that insane life quality into the game. Everyone would like it.
A good zerker/barb should always be S tier for MF (or rune farming which doesnt require mf technically), as no other class can use find item. So you effectively farm about 50% faster even if clear speed is the same. Barb also tends to be naturally tanky from passives, and has FCR breakpoints on par with Sorcs so it also tele's faster than everyone else (equal to sorc). Between FCR and Find item, I don't think anything can dethrone the barb when target farming Trav, pit, etc. If you want to farm cows, you'll care more about a good density clearing class like a zon or poison necro, as in cows you dont need the tele FCR, and you also won't be using find item as much so the raw kill speed of huge aoe classes makes a difference there. If you want to just farm chaos/baal, just about anything can work, and the advantages of find item/tele fcr is much less noticable. Though the difficulty/density of those areas tend to have you resort to a more overpowered build like hammerdin, a good sorc, javazon, etc. Especially since find item is hard to use in baal runs. Berserk is relatively slow compared to the other powerhouses when it comes to actual clear speed. tl;dr. Unless some crazy changes happen, Barb should always be S tier for Trav, pit, and any other specific zones like these that you build around. It lacks the raw clear speed other classes have, so areas like cows, chaos, and baal runs it is always going to be like a B or A tier (and also likely require more investment to feel good).
I'd say that the gold find barb is better than a zerker because you can stack a lot more GF and MF that way. And when your merc got good gear and you get in the swing of things you can still finish a trav run in like a minute... any faster you actually get locked out of creating new games even on resurrected. The changes to the stash and gambling pushes the build above the pit/travzerker imo.
@@antonsundin2974 I mean, the GF barb is just a variant of any other build the barb has, not really a comparison. It's just a matter of how much mf or gf you want to have versus how much damage you want. Like there are literally GF barbs that use zerk and grief/oath/etc. Gold find isnt a barb skill, it just says what gear you're equipping while using one of the other builds that exist.
@@michaelbellamy5861 A "gold find barb" has always been synonymous with singers/horkers. IE you basically use every single item slot towards increasing your GF and MF, you let the merc do the killing while you support it with shouts and leaps. The examples you gave now would be considered a zerker since they use the berserking skill. Berserkers as you mentioned can tailor the amount of damage vs defenses vs MF/GF they have based on preference. But that just from my own experience playing diablo 2 on and off since its release in the EU region. Maybe the lingo is different for other regions and/or generation of players.
Hi guys, maybe someone can help, I've made the same build, works fine, found a ber form like 100 trav runs, so it works great. But I'm keep getting stun by bosses in travs. I mention that instead of shield, I have a gull dagger for mf. Should I put the shield on to avoid the stun?
No, this is bugged. You cannot equip a slow off hand weapon + main hand grief. The attack speed just goes turd... This bug has been since start of D2R, good luck with this game.
This is what the patch notes say: "Changed how attack speed is determined while dual-wielding weapons. Swapping weapons between hands should no longer result in dramatically different attack speeds." I'm not sure if that fixes it or not. I read that as it now doesn't matter if the grief in your your main hand or offhand. I don't know how it actually affects IAS in real time.

I would really appreciate if you could suggest it to the devs even tho you are not a controller player, there are a lot people who use one and they will be thankful for any added option to use one of your builds as comfortable as possible. Thank you for your attention. Have a good one and stay healthy. Greetings from Berlin, Hannes
Lack of a mouse is so huge on console yet doesn't get mentioned enough. I'd rather have keyboard mouse support on console than just about any change in 2.4
At that point you can just hook your pc to your tv. The game is not meant for consoles and will always suck with a controller.
Can you make a guide on how to farm Trav without gear though?
Am I right in saying defense value is worthless on this build as we are either running or hitting? (Forget tele as emigma is extremely hard for casual players)
i just use the enable respec command. seems fair for Sp since your odds of drops are so low. Definitely better 100s of baal for zero essence
I agree I don't judge for SP since it's obnoxious getting those essences.
For my SP I have the rule that a character has to reach level 90 and farm a token once to earn infinite respec
What is respect command?
@@jonlorax2090 If you add -enablerespec to your launch parameters, you can respec your character as many times as you like in single player.
@@onurdagci ty for the quick reply I'm definitely gonna use this, been hunting for a green essence for 5 days haha

Someone is going to call this "TravZerker" that's for sure.
It’s like he saw my comment the other day asking what build he was running exactly 😆
A bit (okay, a lot) late to the party...
For the "where you want to go" setup, what about Cannot Be Frozen? You mentioned you'd go for 2 Nagelrings, so no Ravenfrost. You then switching Goldwrap for Trang belt?

this game is a buggy POS which was used as an excuse to sell really terrible CGI movies..
Maybe, because of the topaz?
I wrote a comment here 1 day ago for my recommandion of Lamas build. Today I did maybe 30 run and Jah run drop after hork. Guys dont give up.
EDIT: after i made Enigma, in the road to Baal mini boss droped me gryfin
The same things happened to me recently, I found my first ever Jah last Febuary, and May 22th I got a Ber from trav horking to make my first ever Enigma. Then yesterday May 28th, I got my first ever Griffon from Pindle!
Any chance you'd like go explain the best route for starting a grail? I want to restart with d2r, but would like to know your thoughts on what to accomplish first, second, ect. I remember spending a LONG time getting things like infinity knocked out first for a baller light sorc setup.
If you are playing offline you will prob invest hundreds of hours before infy. Just to warn you :)
@@rufius4050 I've already started a grail, I know what it takes, I was in my final 25 or 30. But I want to start it over on d2r!
tbf you can use chancies, 2 x nagel rings and it still runs fine, chancies are a must when you run trav really
are you gonna update a barb guide with the item find benefitting from find potion now? :D
It still bugged with the IAS in the off hand. I wanted to run an alibaba in my offhand but it was slow as hell...
I'd like to second the motion of a playlist for D2R Grail
i am struggeling to hit the attack rating. only get to 83% chance to hit. Any ideas? wearing the angelic 2 set
@MrLlamaSC what /players x is the best for running trav with hork barb?
Is this still the best barbarian build for travincal? 8 months old and i think there have been some changes. looking for p1 barb on bnet since it (still?) is the best runefinder for p1bnet
Do you find that trav is better than pit for mf'n find barb ? I love the synergy they added :)
Wouldnt dual hart carver daggers be a better swap for horking since theyre +4 find item
not really since you don't get much extra chance per level of item find. If you didn't want to put any hard points into item find you could use one.
@@chrisjones6002 i hear ya but to that extent it seems like it wouldnt be worth it to run spirits or wc sticks either but rather dual isted alibabas or something on swap for horking?
why 2 socket ali baba cant go into left hand with grief?
Jeeez look at all those MF’ing charms 🤣
Does attack rating not matter when you are using a grief? as in, can I swap my angelics combo for the highlord amu and a nagel really?
What do they do against duping? Not sure if it's a thing in online. But offline i already duped 3 things unintentionally... ofc i can just drop the item. It still kinda sucks...
@11:52 Hey What's wrong with this picture?!.. I Thought That 'Harlequin Crest-Shako, supposed to Be Green On Character Select Screen Too?😲 ..if Not!?..Why Not Red like Madawc?! 😂😂
what about heart carver for your off hand ?! (+4 Find item)
Fcr is better
why not ww barb with 1pt in zerk? farms way faster than pure zerk? can always respect to full zerk once ready for pit
Does chance to block on shield get value when you are in berserk swing
Berserk is interruptible so yeah shield block gets in the way of it
why is the shako brown on main screen?
why use 2x spirit instead of 2x +3 battle cry weapons?
Is there a budget version of this build?
Thank you for this video Llama
He keeps referring to IES, I can't seem to figure out what that means even with the context, and a google search yields nothing. What's IES?
IAS :: Increased Attack Speed
What about 2x Heart Carver on switch for item find?
For those watching now, max out Whirlwind instead and put just one point into Berserker, for the occasional Physically Immune council member. If you can go dual Grief do it, more run/hour is better than more MF.
so you dont use mf for horking ? i assumed you would use like 2 ali baba or 2 gulls when horking ? does mf even work on hork ?
Is a Horker a ladder starter viable character? Am I going to majorly struggle to farm Trav without some good drops? I really wanna try something other than Blizz Sorc for the first 2-3 weeks..
no. i would say sorc or foh pally is the best starter
So with the off-hand bug gone you could just as well make a 6 isted military pick? Or crystal sword? Lower req if you want to use it on another char, but with durability...
Phase blade is the way to go for the ias. Since you’re meeting the dex req anyway for the Grief
@@aaron-yoon I mean to me it seems like MrLlama is saying it doesn't matter at 8:30, that's why I asked.
But I tested it in 2.3 just now after your comment and it seems like it matters just as it did in LoD.
What is the offhand bug
why not ali babas for horking?
thanks for the vid! any suggestions on merc? I have a nice a2 might aura merc with pride, but it wont work for "horking", because pride has +3 freezes target. Obedience and reapers toll has also cold damage. A1 merc with faith for fanaticism?
crazy idea, pride+might a2 merc, leave Hassan outside with a steel shade on for the auras, jump in with leap and kill everything yourself? he cant follow you in and touch the council.
eth bonehew with 2 shaels on might merc
It depends on what build you're doing trav with. Are you actively using berserk or are you just using shout and leaps to support your merc? If you are letting the merc kill everything while you just support with shouts and leaps then reaper's toll is probably generally the best affordable option even if you lose a corpse here and there, the decrepify procs are just that good and they also break immunities. The actual best option is probably breath of the dying if you have some other means to deal with physical immunities but it's expensive.
If you use a character that can kill trav quickly by themselves without relying on a merc then i would try to stay away from cold damage as much as possible even if you have to use a "worse" option on your merc. Insight should be more than enough for most builds... a good but expensive alternative is infinity. You can also just regular unique weapons like bonehew or Aroic's needle.
That being said i think that the new frenzy barb using a grief will end up being the "best" option for most trav running builds once the new patch comes out.
Without tele and a very tanky fire absorb, mercs die too often in Trav because of the hydra spam.
@@brandongroth4569 They don't if they have good gear, you stun the mobs with shout/leap and you use teleport to reposition them.
Since the find potions change would you take sword mastery out in favor of find potion?
you need sword mastery
How would you run this on hardcore, or just manage life regeneration in general, seeing as Life Steal doesn't work with Berserk?
I'm thinking the resistances and Dwarf Star are actually really important to keep the barb running. Absorb helps.
Suicide branch is the better choice for alt weapons instead of wizard spike
I like all the mana and res :)
Another honorable mention is Hoto's if you steal a couple from other toons you might have. You need to make up for the slight FCR difference but they also give the juicy res and they function as +3 warcry sticks, so you kinda get the best of both worlds for barb swaps.
@@MrLlamaSC I disagree; unless you are using a shield. If you are not using a shield, your primary weapons don't have any res and you are bound to stack enough res without depending on items on hands. Thus, when res problem is solved for primary weapoins, it is also solved for swap weapons; extra res from wizzy will be overkill. Extra mana is meh. +2 to hork and teleport are better; not very important; but still better from a min/max perspective. If you are using a shield, 1 suicide + 1 wizzy
@@michaelbellamy5861 It is an honorable mention but still not ideal. suicide branch > wiz >> hoto. With double hoto, you will need to find another 15 fcr (not slight fcr difference) which will result in non-trivial compromises. Barb already has enough hp and if you are not using a shield, you already should have solved res problem for your primary weapons, which means it is solved for secondary weapons as well. The stat to focus here is fcr, then +skill, then other stats. If you are using a shield, 1 wiz and 1 suicide is the answer.
@@onurdagci I'm aware of the drawbacks. I didn't say its bis, I literally said its an inferior alternative. Doesn't mean someone can't make use of the suggestion. People less knowledgable about the game have a higher chance of hanging onto two hotos due to their other character than they do suicide branch which is just a niche fcr pick that only a barb would want 2 of ever. That said there have also been times I've ran with double hoto. If you already have a 20fcr ammy and a fcr leech ring you don't really have to compromise anything and you get a better BO swap. Again, not saying its the best route to go but its an option worth mentioning.
i using frenzy 2x eth oath colossus blades with trang belt
Is Travincal better than the pits? When do you choose one over the other?
It's better as long as you don't have Enigma. Pits without teleport is just too slow compared to trav.
Do you run this /players 1? Is it optimal to push to a higher /players, or just keep it at /players 1 for the lower enemy health?
p1 should be fine especially for speed but if you really wanted to you could bump it to p3 but p7 would take forever unless you are fully min maxed I feel
P3 is the sweet spot. Diminishing returns after p3
Usually you just run this build on p1 cause horking bodies doesn’t benefit from player count
@@cardboardjesus8761 Horking isn't effected by players count; but your initial kill is effected by players count. Horking is and additional source of getting items; not your exclusive source; not even your main source. Your main source is still killing monsters
@@onurdagci 'Champions, Uniques and SuperUniques always drop a fixed amount and so their drops are not affected by any players settings.'
The initial kill is unaffected; p1 is ideal for this build. Howl everything away

Where Can i buy diablo2 disk,,,? I'm from indonesia.
magic finding with a character with an inventory full of charms so everytime you pick something up you have to open up your inventory and manually drag the item into your cube... and again to ID them and take them back out. so bloody stupid
Yeah, the game is very archaic for that and many other things. I'm not a fan of a separate inventory for charms but I think they should further increase the size of the cube, and make loot automatically be sent to it when picked up. The whole gestion of space need an upgrade, enough of playing Tetris! Automatic sorting with custom settings along more stash space should have been the biggest feature of D2R.
can that build beat clone diablo?
Still worth playing even 6 months after being out? I’d have to buy a pc but have been really thinking about pulling the trigger.
Why pc? You can play it on console too. 300$ and you got a xbox series s which is the cheapest step into nextgen consoles
buy an xbox. much cheaper than a gamer pc, and it works surprisingly well. I have been playing since the release and I love it. I tested hammerdin, zealot, warcry barb and now bowazon. Very much fun. Just a suggestion :)
Don't do what that guy says unless you want the absolute worst experience for diablo 2 you could have. No lobby's no people to play with really joining games are horrendous and the loading times are just ridiculous. Enjoy dying to duriel before you load
@@ADHGaming1 bro i know thats not an excuse for activision blizzards trash "lobby" on consoles, but on xbox i have always full games thx to the groupsearch it allows u find full games and u dont have to do anything else then press "join". But my friend plays it on playstation and i understand what u mean, there is no way for playstation players to play in full lobbies they really messed up there
I’ve heard the downside is no lobby’s or people to play with. Og feel is probably what I’d go for. Just wish they’d run it on Mac like the original
Can this build do d-clone.
Socket that armor and put a Perfect Topaz in it! 😎
I've always wanted to know. Are you using an offline character? If so how do you get so much fancy gear for an offline character? I'd rather play offline but I wouldn't know how to get all that fancy gear.
Hero editor
I'm sorry, but I have to be the critical asshole.
You've always wanted to know?
How long has this "always" gone on?
I mean, you know, you can do research by pulling your phone out of your pocket.
The time you spent writing your comment you could've have type a few words into a search engine.
@@Geffro21 what is that? And how do I get it?
Not to be offensive but this stuff isn't fancy at all. The mistake people often make is they farm nightmare /normal but the items he's displaying are quite average. Takes a few weeks to farm but definitely wouldn't say gg. The only really tough thing to farm would be grief and that's for the LO rune. It's also not hero edited because if it was, all stats on items would be perfect. His grief for example only rolled 30 something percent. If it were hero edited it would be 40% with 400 damage
@@DesroTy He also has a tonne of items on every page of his inventory as well. I've played hundreds of hours. High runes are super rare. I've had a Lo for example but never found a Mal. I used to play the original D2 as well when it came out 20+ years ago. Never in my life have I ever found a Ber, Sur, Ohm, Cham or Jah. I've never found a Highlord's on my own. It would take ages to find that many MF small charms too. Getting 1, ok, but enough to fill your Inventory would take forever. Also, he has hundreds of other videos showing an insane amount of powerful items.
TLDR; I tried this build without grief, torch and other end-game pieces and it sux. Dmg was low, AR was low, was dying fast.
I have switched to WW version of the build with the SAME gear, did some small cheap optimisations, and now can do runs reliably and fast, never use fulls
ua-cam.com/video/4IVx2Kij11M/v-deo.html
Talking about your "optimal" gear: Why 2 WizSpikes instead of 2 SuicideBranches, which give the same FCR but also give +2 allSkills for your warCrys, which WizSpikes do not?? (mana is not a problem with 2 suicideB either) Why would you use a 6 socketed IST Phaseblade instead of CrystalSword? U won t attack with the IST d blade anyway, and If u choose a Crystall, U can use this MF powerHouse for other chars also, like MFSorc on Switch. Other then that, good stuff like always llama
Phase blade has a higher base attack speed, which for some reason counts even with single handed attacks.

Hey MrLlamaSC ! Nice video dude !!! Wouldn't it be nice if Blizzard build a Charm inventory for us? Like what Last Epoch and Project D2 have... a space where we can fill with charms and still have our inventory space to comfortably farm... I don't think it would be bad for anyone to have that insane life quality into the game. Everyone would like it.
Nice jeeds charm
When is the patch 2.4 released ?
Next year if not mistaken , blizzard always love to delay something for 1 year at least
Would you recommend building this over a hdin?
Depends what you are hunting. In the end this is the greatest magic finding character of any but takes some gear
ua-cam.com/video/Q4VJNuiru7Y/v-deo.html
is the pit/travzerker still the strongest MF build even in patch 2,4?
Find item>>>>> so yeah it is
A good zerker/barb should always be S tier for MF (or rune farming which doesnt require mf technically), as no other class can use find item. So you effectively farm about 50% faster even if clear speed is the same. Barb also tends to be naturally tanky from passives, and has FCR breakpoints on par with Sorcs so it also tele's faster than everyone else (equal to sorc).
Between FCR and Find item, I don't think anything can dethrone the barb when target farming Trav, pit, etc.
If you want to farm cows, you'll care more about a good density clearing class like a zon or poison necro, as in cows you dont need the tele FCR, and you also won't be using find item as much so the raw kill speed of huge aoe classes makes a difference there.
If you want to just farm chaos/baal, just about anything can work, and the advantages of find item/tele fcr is much less noticable. Though the difficulty/density of those areas tend to have you resort to a more overpowered build like hammerdin, a good sorc, javazon, etc. Especially since find item is hard to use in baal runs. Berserk is relatively slow compared to the other powerhouses when it comes to actual clear speed.
tl;dr. Unless some crazy changes happen, Barb should always be S tier for Trav, pit, and any other specific zones like these that you build around. It lacks the raw clear speed other classes have, so areas like cows, chaos, and baal runs it is always going to be like a B or A tier (and also likely require more investment to feel good).
I'd say that the gold find barb is better than a zerker because you can stack a lot more GF and MF that way. And when your merc got good gear and you get in the swing of things you can still finish a trav run in like a minute... any faster you actually get locked out of creating new games even on resurrected. The changes to the stash and gambling pushes the build above the pit/travzerker imo.
@@antonsundin2974 I mean, the GF barb is just a variant of any other build the barb has, not really a comparison. It's just a matter of how much mf or gf you want to have versus how much damage you want. Like there are literally GF barbs that use zerk and grief/oath/etc. Gold find isnt a barb skill, it just says what gear you're equipping while using one of the other builds that exist.
@@michaelbellamy5861 A "gold find barb" has always been synonymous with singers/horkers. IE you basically use every single item slot towards increasing your GF and MF, you let the merc do the killing while you support it with shouts and leaps. The examples you gave now would be considered a zerker since they use the berserking skill. Berserkers as you mentioned can tailor the amount of damage vs defenses vs MF/GF they have based on preference.
But that just from my own experience playing diablo 2 on and off since its release in the EU region. Maybe the lingo is different for other regions and/or generation of players.
Hork barb is so fun
Why not use 2 isted Ali Baba instead 6 isted pb? 30 more mf shouldn't be worth 4 ists and you also lose gold find
I use the IK build with mfing.
Its still bugged in the off-hand... blizzard
Hi guys, maybe someone can help, I've made the same build, works fine, found a ber form like 100 trav runs, so it works great. But I'm keep getting stun by bosses in travs. I mention that instead of shield, I have a gull dagger for mf. Should I put the shield on to avoid the stun?
Use a stormshield.
Boot a loot a doo
jeeds....?
No, this is bugged. You cannot equip a slow off hand weapon + main hand grief. The attack speed just goes turd... This bug has been since start of D2R, good luck with this game.
Why is that a bug?
I'm pretty sure in d2r it got patched in 2.4. I can double check though
This is what the patch notes say:
"Changed how attack speed is determined while dual-wielding weapons. Swapping weapons between hands should no longer result in dramatically different attack speeds."
I'm not sure if that fixes it or not. I read that as it now doesn't matter if the grief in your your main hand or offhand. I don't know how it actually affects IAS in real time.
I'm doing Trav runs with my WW Build, double Grief. Got >350 MF and I've even respecced into max Find Item. Takes me
