WW barb item question

[Chimera-DL]

I am going to make a botd sword ww barb on ladder. What rings and amy shoul d I use? I will already have cannot be frozen, so not using raven frost.

[whereagles]

WW babo doesn't need cannot be frozen. Actually, he's the only melee character thad doesn't need it, lol.

For jewelery you'll probably need leeching stuff, especially life stealing. In 1.10, you can't have too much leech.

ammy: you can't do better than highlord's if you want to do a lot of damage
rings: ravenfrost is nice for AR and dex; otherwise get some leech/resists; with BoTD you shouldn't need much more leech with the damage output you'll have.

[Chimera-DL]

what about bk rings?? i thought they were good

[Chimera-DL]

anyone?

[whereagles]

No. Bul-Kathos rings aren't too good for a whirler. The leeching is minimal (5% at best, while crafted rings can have 11/7 leech...) and the +1 skills doesn't compensate enough for the low leech and lack of other stuff, like resistances, +str, +dex, etc.

k thanks I'll try to craft blood rings then

[whereagles]

Rares can be good as well. Up to 8/7 leech + other goodies.

[adeyke]

The best possible is 8% life (11% for crafts), 6% mana. You can't get a 7% mana steal ring.

[whereagles]

Oh, ok then.

[Chimera-DL]

thing is i really need to craft a ring that gives me good stats, res and ar...
would blood rings still be the best to craft? or is there a better ring now that leech is useless in pvp
