hi
im trying to make a hc barb able to fight his way to the torch as alone as possible.
i want to use concentration as main attack,
shout and battle orders as protection (as well as a a2 merc with defiance),
and propably mace mastery in favour of the IK option.
means 80 skillpoints spent + some prerequisites.
what to do with the perhaps 15 - 20 points i think i will accumulate further reallistically? one in each of the 4 passive skills every barb learns to like, i assume.
i could put anything i get further into bash, going for the bigger dmg.
BUT i could also put points into some of the warcries more seldom used,
meaning grim ward and BATTLE CRY.
the latter sounds tempting: destroing your enemys defense ( which wil be quite a problem with my safety-first building) AND cutting their attack powers low.
i´d like to ask the wise :
a) does battlecry help against any kind of nonphysical attack
B) has battlecry any effect against bosses?
c, more general) would you vote for the IK set or for a big heap of custom stuff, like upgraded string, gorerider, metallgrid, and so on ?
thx in advance
