A Real Barbarian

This is Hydrolics, basically naked except for things which improve strength/constitution (and it looks like I was wearing Minos, now that I look closer).

Impressive, no?

**Justin1341** · 01-23-2009, 01:31 PM

No? He is THF so sub-optimal DPS currently along with WAY low reflex and will saves, and the choker sucks...

how so? the choker causes you to lose WAY more dps than you gain, mathematically TWF greatly outdamages THF, and those will/reflex are low...

you dont need to be TWF to have fun...and sometimes it's just fun to make a build that does one thing well (ugh.. me hit hard with big axe...garrrrhh).

then why bash someone on there build when in a few weeks it will be sweet. this is why you get banned all the time. you poke your nose in and bash people and dont realize your reputation on the server is such that people actively look for reasons to get you banned. yet you time and again supply them with those reasons.

you need to grow up and act your age, not act like a 12 year old kid.

I was just having fun with my new scourge choker, and decided to post a screenshot. I was goofing around with it yesterday to see if it is really as terrible on a melee as everyone makes it out to be. While I don't see it being useful for fighting trash mobs, it worked really well when I was tanking Sally, and I had mixed results with it when I was tanking the Reaver. I like to try out a potentially useful item for myself, rather than just listening to everyone else.

I know that currently 52 strength is not the highest you can get.
-I am not wielding a +9 strength weapon from the shroud
-I am not human (so I could not take +1 strength enhancement)
-I did not splash two levels for fighter (so I could not take +1 strength enhancement)
-Hydrolics only has a +2 strength tome, not a +3 (or the ultra-rare +4)
-I did not drink a House D strength potion (which I hear stacks with everything else).
-I am not wearing the Litany from the Abbot.

those will/reflex are low...

I feel that you are missing the point.

I suppose the "I'm tough and can hit you with a big stick" build isn't for everyone. But I really do enjoy it!

I just hope they fix THF because my AC ranger held aggro from ya on a non favored enemy while taking no damage and saving on everything.... Thf needs some serious lovin....

to give up any all defenses for a little bit of offense while lowering your damage dealt to damage taken ratio by a ton actually making the build worse?

so I see since you posted in the above forums your absolutes have changed just a bit. Is it cause you found it really does suck...or you just can't have it anymore cause it's stuck in Limbo??? : )

This is not the place to discuss the validity of my build. If you would like to discuss my build, I would be more than happy to post a new thread where Hydrolics can be constructively criticized.
