Thanks!:)

The thing is, by maxing skel+mastery and having spent a few on mages, I'll need to be lvl 50 before I can put my first point into CE.. That's late NM/early Hell if I remember correctly.. I suppose I'll need to boost my skels with +skill-gear and a might-merc. Even so, I don't see my babies doing a lot of dmg in NM... ah well, time will tell.:)First up is a barbarian. Last time I played one, I power-levelled him to 76 in 5 hours, equipped him and never played him again. I'll try to have a bit more fun with him this time around;)

edit: concerning my barbarian. I'm going with frenzy. (Always done WW in the past). Which weapon class is best suited? I know WW requires range (polearm/spear-class), but is there any reason I should avoid swords with frenzy? What about dual-wielding? Is it worth it? Which weapon class is best suited for frenzy? (The reason I'm asking you instead of reading the guides provided earlier in the thread is because the AB is down)

edit#2: When I make runewords with barb-helmets, will the +skills disappear or will they be on the runeword?

Hi

Are you playing SP or online?SC or HC? You seem to be running through the game much faster than I do:oFrenzy barbs are usually sword or mace. There are so many good Swords/runewords, most maces have no Dex reqs so you can pump Vitality more. What you need for Frenzy builds is Warcry so that the monsters get stunned and cant slice you up. If you put a runeword in a nonmagical barbhelmet which already has +skills you will keep the skills in addition to what the runeword gives you.

P.S. Don't forget to put a few points in Berzerk for the PIs.
