TR Gear Recommendations for THF Barb

[SylvanPhoenix]

As I've just recently come back to the game after a long time away, I'd like to see recommendations of what gear you collect for TRing as a THF barbarian. I've enjoyed reading the posts on builds and endgame gear setups, but having been away so long, I don't know what I should be collecting for level 8-20 beyond go to Sharn and Ravenloft.

Thanks!

OP gear you should add: Rams Belt, Crown of Butterflies and Thorn Boots. lvl 5-28 gear... add one more item from Geywild for 4 piece Season set and combine it with
Bottle of Shadows and you got +2 stats.

at 7. pick up one of the Fens set (I prefer claw) these will last you til 15.

Smack on deadly, strenght and press down W + right mouse button and win.

You can use the heroic version of each expansion set as you progress stopping at sharn. At 17 you can get a couple of good gear that may or may not be good for you at soul splitter chain. My favorites are spectre boots, cloack of Balance and lens of dark depths.

Weapon wise you got the good old carnifex until SoS and stop right there. If you dont have SoS you got a couple of options. Whirlwind at 10, RiftMaker at 13 and Tail of Scorpion at 14 are the most popular choices. I like to fill the gaps left by sharn gear with Mines and Rage chain gear until Soul splitter stuff.

Actually there isnt any big secret to the the heroic itemization. Just look at the newest packs in the given level range and search for what gear you get from it in the Wiki. Mines , Rage and Soul Splitter are my favorite gap fillers for the 14+. Peril of the Planar Eyes is 12+ but its focused at spellcasters and specialists.

Weapons and clickies like DW, Haste, GH & displace all you really need for barb until late heroics.

DW clickies from Tangleroot end chain end rewards. I usually have 3-4 And leave them in shared bank.
GH really only available on Planar Gird until late heroics. Nice to have if soloing for fear immunity.
Ring of Melee Prowess at 17
Ravenloft Set (I prefer AM)
Sharn Set (Family)

THF mentions
SOS
Tail
Carniflex (lower levels)
Blackrazor
Blunt + Good Beater like RL Maul Freebie for DR skellies

I prefer SoS overall and Carniflex before that.

And make sure you got resto pots and haste or heroism pots if no clicky.
Silver Flame pots for emergency heal.

Perhaps there isn´t a secret itemization, but still most people tend to go for real poor item choices when some very easy to catch items are dangling right infront of them. You can easily spot them, for instance you cannot hide crown of butterflies, and you can Z your party members for sets.

Thanks for the advice. This really helps. Glad to hear my SOS and fens claw set are still good at level.

My setup:

At 3 equip the ghostly outfit from Saltmarsh.

At 5 equip a lot of Feywild: crown, summer cloak, ethereal bracers, blurry gloves, some belt (all 3 are good), true seeing ring, stoneskin ring, good hope necklace, some boots.

At 8 use false life/deadly five rings.

At 10 switch to Silent Avenger + Feywild (crown, belts, boots, rings).

At 13 legacy raid gear kicks in: tharne's goggles, levik's bracers and madstone boots. Boots don't work on a pally using SD, tho.

At 15 Sharn kicks in. Switch cloak to Mantle of Fury. At this point I'm also using the legacy raid items, crown of butterflies and a feywild belt (likely insightful sheltering).

PS use remnants/GH augments to slot in stats/resistances/AC whenever you're missing that
