Inferno Barb

[JustAGuy]

The swords will be doing a ton of physical and fire damage, very quickly, so non-fire immunes will be eating that for breakfast, served up by yours truly. I have two options: 1. just use frenzy all the time, and use inferno on PIs; 2. for non-fire/non-physical immune is to use inferno, then use the swords to leech back, rinse and repeat, use inferno on PIs.

I doubt I'll be using Inferno exclusively, as the sword damage, combined with the big fire damage on the sword, would probably be enough for non-fire immunes and PIs. That's why I wrote this build down beforehand - I'm not sure how it'll work out.

Just, if you're going for the sword option, can I recommend you put 10 less points in taunt, and 10 more in sword mastery?

So, max the sword mastery? It will provide more damage than the synergy?

Considering that you'll get the same defence bonus from each (10%) you might as well go all in shout, (except 1 as the prereq for resist) and give a larger bonus to those around you and get it to last longer for your mana

Sounds fine to me. I'm a big shouter anyway. The added time boost to Battle Orders would be great.

Where you planning on tagging a merc along? if so which?

I was thinking about a defense merc, or maybe a holy freeze or act 3 ice merc. I'll probably go with the Holy Freeze to start, but I doubt he'll be able to keep up.
