Quote:Well, let me rephrase that then (and also considering Occy's post). If you do not mind taking forever going from one WP to another, if you don't mind having to retreat and drink pots after every fight of more than 2 mo's and dying a lot, if you do not mind running away like a screeming schoolgirl upon seeing a boss pack, and if you do not mind forever shopping for a cruel sword of crap (and in act 3 it would take forever) then it is doable. Oh and also if you get lucky and find a unique elite in act1-2, but that can't be counted on.I found boss packs to be sucseptible to Taunt, Howl, and Grim Ward at one point + Plus Skills, typicaly in 1.10 from 2-5 in warcries/barb in combination. ( I tend to pick up lots of stuff to sell for gold since I like to gamble circlets, boots, and belts.) That only started to become an issue in act III, when too many mundane monsters weren't Howlable, but between Taunt and Grim Ward, I could isolate bosses from their packs on most occasions, Temples and Tight Corridors being the nuisance exception.
Out of curiosity, have you done it? Also, out of curiosity, what is your experience with Barbs? I'll give you mine: I had either 5 or 6 lvl 90+ Barbs including 2 99s. I had 2 high 80's pre-D2X when it was very difficult to lvl after 85. More importantly, I have played with some of the best players out there. Please educate me.
Maybe you quit playing before 1.10 and the final Barb nerfs came out? That would certainly explain it.

I also used a Holy Freeze Merc to slow them all down. Frenzy Taurs are a special case, and areas with them require some careful scouting so you can pick them off one at time.
