    Default The Importance of UMD

    I'm looking at a +4 Mithral Full Plate in the AH with a duration of 2 hours left going for 6k pp. Why? Because it can only be used by halflings. Or someone who took UMD cross-class. Seriously, the UMD DC is 16. 3 ranks and a +13 item saves you over 90k pp! I'm a fan.

    Even if there was sth like a +13 item, as a barb you don't want to waste an item slot for a UMD item...

    And why use a mithral full plate anyway?

    Yes umd is very important. Even more important is the knowledge of what items are available in the game, and how they stack


    Thanks for the laugh though.

    - any guard robes
    - marilith chain
    - dragontouched armors (personally I chose robes, because of the fast switching)

    I saw a +13 UMD item on the Auction House today but it required a 76 UMD check (Race Restricted: Owlbears).

    Hmm, anybody ever considered that they got trolled hard? After all this is the Barbarian forums and barbs aren't exactly known for their academic pursuits or logical thinking. :P

    May be the OP wanna go Pure Barbarian for Mighty Rage, no AC penalty!
    Some Barbarians look for AC in Stormreach, they are very few but they live in Stormreach.

    My Barb has AC. He keeps it set at 60 because all the leather/chain armors he wears is really hot. Nothing quite like a drop of sweat in your Eye just as you start fighting!


    crud, I just looked at the fine print on the AC... needs a +13 UMD Item to turn it on...

    If you're soloing all the time, sure. Destruction is better for grouping/raiding, especially with the retardedly high AC on epic bosses like Wiz King, Devil's Assault, Big Top and VON6 djinns.

    Wrong! You should be able to hit high AC epic monsters without destruction, even if you can't just make the first swing with a destruction weapon and go nuts.

    Also i thought the OP had just mistaken the ranks/item part but you can't get 13 ranks as a pure barb .
