Since U14, a lot of things have changed. Like the new overwhelming critical feat and the nerf of the madstone
boots. Before the update, this was my - and I'm quite sure I wasn't only mine - equipment set-up.



  • Head: Epic Helmet of the Red Dragon
    Armor: Epic Marilith Chain
    Gloves: Epic Gloves of the Claw
    Bracers: Epic Bracers of the Claw
    Boots: Madstone Boots
    Trinket: Litany of the Dead
    Weapon: Epic Sword of Shadow
    Cloak: +45HP GS / Epic Envenomed Cloak
    Belt: Knost's Belt / Colethenis Belt
    Ring: Encrusted Ring / Ravager Ring
    Necklace: Verik's Necklace / Shintao Cord
    Ring: Verik's Ring / Kyosho's Ring
    Quiver: -


  • Set bonuses:
    Greater Volkuur's Might
    Frenzied Berserker / Ravager
    Shintao Monk / Kensai



With the new update, I'm never wearing my madstone boots again unless it's the end fight and I don't have to use a
rage anymore. But I rather just replace 'em with something more useful. With all the new equipment from the update,
I thought the following would be a good equipment set-up for a DPS barbarian.



  • Head: Epic Helm of Frost
    Armor: Epic Marilith Chain / Comyrian Red Dragonscale Breastplate
    Gloves: Epic Gloves of the Claw
    Bracers: Epic Bracers of the Claw
    Boots: Epic Boots of Corrosion
    Trinket: Planar Focus of Prowess +8 STR
    Weapon: Epic Sword of Shadow / Relic Greataxe
    Cloak: Epic Envenomed Cloak
    Belt: Knost's Belt / Colethenis Belt
    Ring: Encrusted Ring / Ravager Ring
    Necklace: Verik's Necklace / Shintao Cord
    Ring: Verik's Ring / Kyosho's Ring
    Quiver: Quiver of Alactrity


  • Set bonuses:
    Greater Volkuur's Might
    Greater Might of the Abishai (3)
    Frenzied Berserker / Ravager
    Shintao Monk / Kensai




This would give the toon 4 additional strength, +7 charisma for sf potions, a lot of epic slots that can be filled with
stuff that is missing and resistances for cold, acid and fire if you get the comyrian red dragonscale breastplate.



What are your thoughts about this and if you know a better combination, feel free to post it here.
