Hey DHA, it was mentioned in the video you had made some guides but I looked around on the channel and couldn't find them. Enjoyed the duel videos and dropped a sub. Would love if you could point me to the guides.
Great video, man. I've played off and on for 20 years and had little interest in pvp, let alone making a pvp character, but this now makes me want to make a barb eventually. After I achieve my main PvM build goals, I think I'm going to put some energy into this build in D2R. Thanks!
Barbs are my least favorite and least played character in all of my diablo 2 time, but i gotta admit, they often kicked my butt in duels across the 20+ years i have been playing this is a redeemable video and makes them seem almost fun to play GG Coooley!
We are on the same page... Needed a LOT of guidance with this 'cause I rarely play barb. Now... He's one of my mains! Love this char. And thank you so much!
Should have covered left click chain locking tele-zerks, the most fun part about a BvC. Catching sorcs and necros then being accused of Gmod is one of the most satisfying things in pub duels.
I had similar one in the past, all perfect, but never used 2 20 helmer, I had permed 08 Valk instead, and I must admit he looked so badass, and killed alot in PVP but was not invincible obviously. Fun character to play it will however be impossible to recreate in D2R, as we no longer have those ultra rare 08 Valks around. I played on US WEST for 6-7 years back in the 2000s.
amazing video! Maybe I'll finally build a barbarian, since he's the class I've played with the least. Please keep up the good work, your content is always great!
Completely agree with the bit about being frozen. Can’t tell you how many duels I’ve won just by being frozen because I’ve been able to land way more hits
Back in 2006 HC ladder I had unlimited resources (clan had a mad botter) and so I built a max life barb. The life got so high that it caused a bug which reset life to half instead of max when healing, so had to reduce life. Max was around 35,000 but I think max allowed without the bug was only around 24,000. I used dedicated enchanter and BO Barb. (around lvl 60bo, lvl 60 enchant (~6500 fire damage). It had two Hand Of Justice scourges, and the rest was resist and fire damage items. Despite being all life and having zero stat points outside vitality, it mowed down anything. It was really funny when people tried to PK it....
@@brandonprice119 57 is around 60. But it doesn't matter. Due to the max life bug we have to reduce life to get more life. Otherwise you can't go about like half or 30%.
i loved playing BVC, used to run a frenzy barb called too-fast with a pair of perfect ebotdz with a few other zerkers to swap for some matchups like beastz, griefz
63 setup with good res setup. Swap one hoto to cta 333 (+1 skill) gives you the extra skill and you get the battle command from the cta (1 more for orders or 1 more for any skill instead)
So hyped for release My hope for Change/re-balance: - basic loot filter - see ilvl - remove basics keys - only one Low Quality item - not "Low Quality, Cracked, Crude and Damaged" - Last Wish Rune Word - remove "Hit Blinds Target" it overwrite Life Tap - Make so "Paladin Smite" does work with Life Steal and Mana Steal - Make so "Paladin Resist Fire, Cold and Lightning" display the hidden bonus to maximum resist - Make so "Assassin Venom" does not cap poisoning duration at 0.4 from other items - Make so "Assassin Fade" does not affects Shrines + display the hidden bonus to Physical Resistance - Make so "Druid Raven" gains 1 additional Raven for each 5 lvl after lvl 5 - Make so "Necromancer Poison Dagger" is Poison Attack - all weapons not only dagger
I think I still have my "BvA" on USEast. I say that cuz I built him to BvC, but liked wearing a shield instead. Near perf grief Zweihander for style points (same range as Z but cooler looking imo), and an Eld'd SS. People would get so triggered because I wore a shield and wasn't BvB 🤣.Was gonna suggest alt triangle, but you got it covered. Nice vid.
Qick question. As player who started a pluggy around 2019 and it's played all three ladders of project Diablo a lot. I plan on doing barbarian in resurrected as the pit/pindle zerker. I play with two other people as a team and we are very familiar with the game. The question is as somebody who's has been playing project D2 will barb feel to clunky and be unplayable for me to start out or will my skills and team mates make it ok as a starter. Thanks
You probably already know Coooley, but the 451 poison charm is useless as soon as venom procs from your grief. Venom shortens all poison attack duration from items to 0.4 seconds; it doesn't frontload all the damage into the 0.4 second window, it only allows that source to inflict its normal damage for 0.4 seconds. So your 451 poison over 12 seconds becomes 15 poison damage over 0.4 seconds when venom is active. If you're just using it to eliminate player regen before your grief has procced, then that's fine. Otherwise you'd get more benefit out of another max/AR/life charm in its place.
Just a quick question: Is EBotDz going to be your main (botd + beast) or off-hand (grief + botd) vs a wind druid? Thanks and more power to your channel and discord man!
Love these build videos man! We ever gonna see any DFC season 3 content on this channel? I watched some of it on stream, but there was a lot that I missed out on and was hoping to catch on the YT uploads. :)
@@Coooley forgive me but wouldn't a way to teleport further that wasn't intended by the developers be considered a glitch? It would be nice to just teleport further without having to open the window you know what I mean
I would really love to see some new d2r duel videos from you! You could do a whole series covering all classes to help promote the pvp scene in d2r. Some balance changes has been implemented and it would be really helpful to get a full update before building different characters.
What are your thoughts on FHR on BVC? I see augments for hitting 48% but some people go 0. I know ww is uninterruptable and barb has high health so is less likely to be fhr proc'd but wanted to get your take on this.
Great video! But a suggestion would be to replace wisp and highlord with Angelics, and gloves with cleglaws. The reason you use cleglaws is because most casters build "up to" their breakpoint. Cleglaws generally counters this and drops their BP so they cast slower. 9k AR with grief is fine against sorceress and druid but when dueling with hammerdins or TV's (Foh with smite), the extra AR is extremely useful given they have holy shield and high defence. 👍 If you ever decide to build Auradins, pvp or pvm! Let me know! Been building them for 13 years straight 😉 Great videos
yes summons cast from charges will disppaear IF its on your switch weapon and if you switch back to your main setup... they will unsummon. Thats why you use wisp ring on a barb to allow him to fight with oak or heart of wolverine while still being in attack mode
When dueling smiter pallys when they stand in place you can actually we just outside of their range and you will be able To hit them but they can’t hit you. And if or when they chase you to hit you just ww away making them chase you that kills them very quickly.
Coooley, just a suggestion. As much as Trang ol's gear may be, I would highly suggest switching out those gloves for Dracul's Grasp; +90-120% Enhanced Defense +10-15 To Strength +5-10 Life After Each Kill 25% Chance of Open Wounds 7-10% Life Stolen Per Hit 5% Chance To Cast Level 10 Life Tap On Striking Need I say more. My legit level 96 Elder-lich Necromancer build, oddly enough, has one for special cases in reserve. And another for whenever I want to use on my other characters more melee oriented.
Yo :) decent guide but quite a few flaws if you ask me! Might be something changed since i played some years back, but hoto + cta with atleast 3 bo is better on swap and gives you +1 more bo then Dual hoto :) Also str. bugging your barb should be a good idea :)
I made a bvc in d2r, and he has a crappy bug that i hope gets fixed, i went pure vita using enigma, ect. my griefZ will not under any circumstance go to my main hand. i can drag and drop, add charms, w.e it just wont go to my main hand. Its only my grief. for example, if i run a ebotdz and edeathz and swap hands, the numbers in charater screen swap hands. grief+any of my weapons it will always put grief in my off hand..so frustrating. so for now im just stashing my griefz..which sucks cus it rolled 396...such a waste. I heard a temp fix is to strip 100% naked, no charms or anything on at all and hard point all your gear, It might work, dont care if it does because losing all that hp to hard points kind of defeats this whole purpose.
Try using 6 bo ctas on swap, and angelic rings and ammy. If done right with 3 20 20s I'm pretty sure my barb had over 10k life prebuffed with 22k attack rating. And I didn't have to use a cheesy oak sage to get there

Guess it’s time to redo this Video… After the Barb Update everything is different, i even think that the old Spear WW Barb should be a thing again now?
A lot of people like dual hotos on the swap just in case they have the DR setup on. That way, in the rare event you need it, you can still achieve a very high cast breakpoint. Although CTAs are capped at +3 bo for barbs, it still would net you higher life due to the additional +1 to skills :) Not a bad option, honestly.
its been years since ive played and was serious about dueling in d2. i swair i rememeber my barb was bva and i had about 11 to 12k back in day. i could just be getting old and not remember correctly but i swair i had about 11 to 12k hp with sword and shield ww barb
@@borisdimitrov6674 you don't have that much space in stash so berzerker axe takes up less space as well. Rolling a 39%ias on a colusus blade to hit the last ww breakpoint is expensive as well..
Cleglaws Gloves gives slow and knockback. Really helps against smiters, especially if they have a phase blade. Zerker axes have a range 3, phase blade is range 2. If you're knocking them back, they constantly have to walk into your melee range before they can attack. You get the first hit. Some say slow is bm but that's usually the butthurt guy.
Last I heard it was only bm vs zons because of the dodge frames. VS anyone else it was fair game. Hell arach has slow on it and that's commonly used. Never once heard knockback was bm.
Years have passed and people still play d2 and now d2 remaster I wonder if they ever manage to create a game of this level. Maybe now that more people will be able to play d2r will acknowledge what good game means.People have forgotten what good game really means.Not even d4 will be better than d2r remember that
"A barbarian that is NOT ONLY viable in PVP... but has 9,000 life."

Imagine my surprise to see my Amazon getting wrecked in the intro of this video! Lol! Great video my man!
Awesome man, keep doing this amazing videos bro.
So hyped for release
My hope for Change/re-balance:
- basic loot filter
- see ilvl
- remove basics keys
- only one Low Quality item - not "Low Quality, Cracked, Crude and Damaged"
- Last Wish Rune Word - remove "Hit Blinds Target" it overwrite Life Tap
- Make so "Paladin Smite" does work with Life Steal and Mana Steal
- Make so "Paladin Resist Fire, Cold and Lightning" display the hidden bonus to maximum resist
- Make so "Assassin Venom" does not cap poisoning duration at 0.4 from other items
- Make so "Assassin Fade" does not affects Shrines + display the hidden bonus to Physical Resistance
- Make so "Druid Raven" gains 1 additional Raven for each 5 lvl after lvl 5
- Make so "Necromancer Poison Dagger" is Poison Attack - all weapons not only dagger

Great video. Coooley you look good man, always nice to see and hear your voice.
Why not ar/lvl 30frw circ?
When did you you get the extra "o" in your name?
You probably already know Coooley, but the 451 poison charm is useless as soon as venom procs from your grief. Venom shortens all poison attack duration from items to 0.4 seconds; it doesn't frontload all the damage into the 0.4 second window, it only allows that source to inflict its normal damage for 0.4 seconds. So your 451 poison over 12 seconds becomes 15 poison damage over 0.4 seconds when venom is active.

Why would you use the charges on the Wisp Projector with two HOTO's on swap with level 4 Oak Sage?
Does the summon disappear after weapon swap?
Im preety sure that oak sage dissapears
It does dissappear
yes summons cast from charges will disppaear IF its on your switch weapon and if you switch back to your main setup... they will unsummon. Thats why you use wisp ring on a barb to allow him to fight with oak or heart of wolverine while still being in attack mode
What is c/t casting?
It's where you press C or T to open the char or skill screen and give yourself leverage to cast further.
Its over 9000!!!!
So is the classic d2 going to run and play like classic d2 or d2r?
What were the secondary switch weapons?
Hotos, but a better option is actually Hoto + CTA!
@@Coooley do you still put a point into battle command if you have cta?
@@YoToddYo yes! Because you'll still need to command your oak from your weapon side. It's like another 150 life

Its only my grief. for example, if i run a ebotdz and edeathz and swap hands, the numbers in charater screen swap hands. grief+any of my weapons it will always put grief in my off hand..so frustrating. so for now im just stashing my griefz..which sucks cus it rolled 396...such a waste. I heard a temp fix is to strip 100% naked, no charms or anything on at all and hard point all your gear, It might work, dont care if it does because losing all that hp to hard points kind of defeats this whole purpose.
PVP javazon video could be nice! I feel like the character is a little bit underrated. Rarely see one on a pub game.
Try using 6 bo ctas on swap, and angelic rings and ammy. If done right with 3 20 20s I'm pretty sure my barb had over 10k life prebuffed with 22k attack rating. And I didn't have to use a cheesy oak sage to get there

Another advantage of the wisp projector ring: It helps you find Zod runes in the blood moor 😂😂😂
Magic find doesn’t increase chances of finding a rune 😭
@@gettr5565 hahaha, yeah it’s more of an inside joke; Coooley thought he found a Zod rune in the blood moor but someone in his party dropped it to troll him 😂

Dragon talon attack Frame 4-4-4-4-10)(if IAS = 0%)
Dragon talon attack Frame 3-3-3-3-7)(if IAS = best possible)
reducing animation by 5 frames is enough...no need to bother with the last 2
Possible question to ask me: why not Lacerator to reduce mobs physical resistance by 100
instead of by 50% from Lawbringer ? "Slain Monster Stay in Peace"
AND -50% def to enemy(since your AR will be sort of low without
Angelic ring//Amy)
EDIT: Guardian Angel as armor if you wanna bad manner casters(95-95-90-90 and 20 cold sorb in duel but thats your choice :P.....well resists are currently powerfull enough to make conviction do nothing to you :3...lvl 52 Cold Mastery is however not counter(125 lower than needed :S)....only Options i found to deal with it... Phase Blade with 5X + 30% cold resist jewels + either Ber or Um(Open wound 20% or upping CB from 45% to 65%)...i would suggest OW since sorc love running away(Um rune) so they bleed nicely if trigger
Note: Shadow Warrior at lvl 39 got 456 strenght....at lvl lvl 59 it has 708 strenght(if you super pre-buff her you will pretty much nearly double her dmg when she use Dragon talon :)....at lvl 42 her item level is maxed(99)..health difference between 39-59.....2519 - 3647....other stats dont matter so not listed :D......well almost...if she use Fade while you got prebuff gear rising Fade to 50-59 she get a full 50% dmg reduction...making her pretty hard to kill muahaha :D
Guess it’s time to redo this Video… After the Barb Update everything is different, i even think that the old Spear WW Barb should be a thing again now?
Why not dual CtA as an alternate? Or does the +3 cap to skills also apply for non oskills?
(I don't have a good enough CtA to test, meh)
A lot of people like dual hotos on the swap just in case they have the DR setup on. That way, in the rare event you need it, you can still achieve a very high cast breakpoint. Although CTAs are capped at +3 bo for barbs, it still would net you higher life due to the additional +1 to skills :) Not a bad option, honestly.
great video.. do these trick about being frozen and the small triangle work for ww sins aswell?
Yes! For WW. But being frozen on a sin is a bit different because you need that trap laying speed always.
very noob question. What is tely stomp ? I see that word all over the place.
Dr ?
its been years since ive played and was serious about dueling in d2. i swair i rememeber my barb was bva and i had about 11 to 12k back in day. i could just be getting old and not remember correctly but i swair i had about 11 to 12k hp with sword and shield ww barb
this being said i stop playing before the synergy patch so d2r is a whole new ball game
Open battle net pvp is fun too there's a whole art to what godly items to use etc.
U can put on 2 perfect CTAs and get even more battle orders lvls too
Full Geared Widow Maker BVA is tops IMO you have 6k life instead of 9k but have max block and are more versitle
Bva whit blade or axe?
@@borisdimitrov6674 Berzerker axe Grief, Beast, And Doom all can be made in a zerker and axe mastery skill
@@scdrifta bva it seems better whit sword or blade
@@borisdimitrov6674 you don't have that much space in stash so berzerker axe takes up less space as well. Rolling a 39%ias on a colusus blade to hit the last ww breakpoint is expensive as well..
@@scdrifta yes but axe is ugly
Are we all going to keep playing classic d2 after d2r is out?
Good content man
I miss my godly account back in 1.09 when it was the wild wild west, 1.14 is so much more fun with the epic ww barb/sin
Nappa :"Vegeta what is his WHIRLWIND Attack Rating says?!?)"
Vegeta : "Is over 9000!!!" ❤️
How about a BvK build. Barb Vs Kicker (Assassin).
Cleglaws Gloves gives slow and knockback. Really helps against smiters, especially if they have a phase blade.
Zerker axes have a range 3, phase blade is range 2. If you're knocking them back, they constantly have to walk into your melee range before they can attack. You get the first hit. Some say slow is bm but that's usually the butthurt guy.
Both BM stats
Slow and knockback are usually frowned on in duels. Or at least they were back when I still played.
Last I heard it was only bm vs zons because of the dodge frames. VS anyone else it was fair game. Hell arach has slow on it and that's commonly used.
Never once heard knockback was bm.
El Diablo Aqui. See you in the blood moor
Years have passed and people still play d2 and now d2 remaster I wonder if they ever manage to create a game of this level.
Maybe now that more people will be able to play d2r will acknowledge what good game means.People have forgotten what good game really means.Not even d4 will be better than d2r remember that
You deserve far more subs
Cool video! Can you make a video about the Amazon. In pvp? Where you have Java and now on swicth? 👌🤩. Cant wait for d2r 👌
heart of the wolverine is what ill usually use on the wisp ring when used on bvc. More dam and attack rate. Such an under used summon.
Hoto also give oak sage, but lvl 4
Cool tips on the alt ww
Why do you need AR if you have ITD?
itd dont work in pvp lol
