I see you got that Bill Haley curl going on now. That's some next level hairwax strats.

[@balintmiklosy9138]

I'm normally not a huge fan of it, but with a Wolfhowl build, I like Brand on the offhand. The 35% chance to proc amp damage goess off really fast, and you can still attack until it happens in wolf form (and thaks to the Bone Spear procs, you won't leave it on). The amp it procs is level 14 also, that can cover like a whole WSK room. Then that leaves up the merc to use Pride. At that point I'd probably dump Enigma for Fort. And now, that's a lot DAMAGE! (insert meme). Brand is really expensive though, so if you are not a fan of the Beast/Brand necro like I am, it's probably a big investment for such a niche build (although that necro can be made with a cheap Oath too).

[@Thynqikan]

question: why telestomp? Teleport near the pack to position the merc then kill the mobs on the outside of the pack. Telestomping to the center = getting hit by more mobs. The Werewolf form prefers to not be hit and requires a high fast hit recovery. Just my opinion. Thanks for posting.

Love all these non-traditional builds you do! Gz on the good rolls today!

[@nostalgicfeelings9838]

why did you hide the dmg? the most interesting part?!

[@Catafracta230588]

Can you stack yo lvl 9 Fanaticism aura?? I just had a wild idea: dual wielding Beast runeword barbarian, who hence can transform into a werebear Just wondering how "practical" such a build could be

[@hazza1066]

I know it's a year since the comment was made but yes the fanaticism aura would stack, the only thing is that a level 9 vs lvl 18 aura adds very little ias and not much ED when comparing it to something like a eBotdz to beast combo

[@emilioassemany6]

I’m having a lot of fun with a fury druid with max strength. He also has ~600 strength and ~2200 life in wolf form with BO. I’m using my ethereal Tomb Reaver - actually, I made this character because of this find - and a Pride merc - because the lack of teleport. The damage is 6-26k.

[@Dbrunski125]

Sick build man love it!!!

[@Highhookmvp]

Such a dope character. With maxed natural res, maxed iron skin and maxed shout (and BO, ofc) I don’t think any more health is necessary. Tankiest max strength build for sure.

[@maximenadeau6687]

Question. why using grief sword and beast axe while sword masterie is max. should you used 2 swords? thanks.

[@danielmatakiewicz9847]

I didnt think IAS applied to wolf or bear except in weapon? I was always told to make gloves more for utility.

[@aegith1816]

Yeah the gloves won't add to his ias

so how much damage are you doing extra with the added strength?

@@zarirazz85 oh wtf i thought it would just add flat damage

[@tellah8037]

@@zarirazz85 crazy amount, thanks.

[@gh0un]

That's the problem with Diablo 2. These single target damage builds have really slow AOE clear speed, and yet their single target damage isn't even anything special, you take way longer for Baal than let's say any other useful AOE clearing build. That is one of Diablo 2s big flaws. No in-game incentive to actually use these single target builds.

[@obZen327]

delosombres it was more balanced before introducing mana pots at venders

SO HOW MUICH DAMAGE ARE YOU DOING

[@dannytao9035]

So what does putting all your points in STR do? I thought it was only meant to equip items? And how much dmg? lol

[@jameshaulenbeek5931]

I'd guess he's in the 8-10k range. More strength on any melee character means more damage. Yes, you need it for gear, but it also increases melee damage.

[@killaruna2359]

Nice build. How much total damage did u have? I can't see it in the vid.

[@emilioassemany6]

It’s difficult to know without doing a lot of mathematics, because Diablo 2 has a bug with Grief: the game doesn’t compute on chars scream the +350-400 dmg from Grief.

Awesome video, thanks!!! Ima trying this one out!

[@georgipetkov9374]

can you do a barbs hell runs demo with this build?

[@krunkcleanup2949]

You could keep a Duress on your Merc and swap armor with him for boss kills. It works better with a G.Face, but seeing that you're using wolfhowl, an armor swap could work instead.

[@Dbrunski125]

That's a good idea for extra cb. Could also give him g face as well like you said

[@krunkcleanup2949]

@@Dbrunski125 A few ladders ago i had a MF singer barb that i swapped out a gface from my merc and a ravenfrost from my inventory for bosses. On my weapon switch i used a Fleshripper and a "Passion". It gave me Berserk for random Phys immunes and Zeal for killing Act Bosses. Considering I had no points into any melee abilities, it still could kill them in a reasonable amount of time.

[@balintmiklosy9138]

I hate how slapping Enigma into just about any build makes it better. Even one with such crazy run speed. Even if you have to shift forms to use it. I wonder if a mod that improves merc AI would balance it...

[@Dbrunski125]

Fortitude and pride is a great option for this build as well tho

[@balintmiklosy9138]

@@Dbrunski125 obviously, and I do love your build too, I just hate how Enigma wraps the game around it. Wish they just put a cooldown on Teleport once they realized how unbalanced it is, instead of giving it to the other 6 classes. That's just my opinion, in every game I ever played on higher level, I wised developers balanced it on a lower power level.

[@thrasher888565]

i don't think you get + 6 to skills with 2 cta i think its has some cap. normaly 3 wc wepen + 1 cat but you wil get the other stats off the second cta. could be wrong thow i no there was something wired with the barb and skills.

[@prdiludi4432]

Try out two hand botd colossus blade. One frame slower than grief but a lot more one shot potential with it. Specially with that kind of strength. And it looks badass

[@Thynqikan]

my build uses an ethereal thunder maul BotD (have yet to find an ethereal colossus blade). Definitely one shot a lot of mobs with it even on /players8

[@Dbrunski125]

I would lose beast tho

[@prdiludi4432]

@@Dbrunski125 its still worth using considering damage output and attack speed does nothing for shape in this case. Merc is gonna be a bit slower i guess if you dont mind that.

[@ВладимирСтрельцов-н9р]

Does strength improve Grief damage?

[@markblackburn2343]

Yes the only difference with grief is the bug where it doesn't show your damage output properly but still applies it when used.

[@undeaddead]

This build really shines on PoD with an area damage jewell. Also Enigma is completely unnecessary, your movespeed is super high, Fortitude is way better. CoH works as well.

[@nonfiction876]

Strength doesn't really increase your damage much when you're using Grief, which has such low base damage. Melee builds are all about the deadly strike, crushing blows & open wounds... Build is interesting, but ultimately subpar to a lot of other melee builds, let alone caster AOE builds.

[@Dbrunski125]

Str increases your dmg the same whether its botd grief or death. Its just the numbers are hidden because of the flat 400 dmg grief adds and the char screen not displaying that info correctly

[@lorenzosignorini3288]

This max str build is nice and all but....you did not show how much dmg it does!:(

[@starhunter2770]

Interesting build, since you’re going max strength I do find it weird that you’re telestomping especially since feral rage is single attack

[@consciousconscience]

What exactly is a tele stomp?

[@starhunter2770]

consciousconscience teleport into a group of monsters and then attack, works great if you’re hitting multiple targets and have a strong defense(great for a hammerdin)

[@consciousconscience]

@@starhunter2770 what a stupid fucking expression. It would be passably functional if it were just as you said, but apparently teleporting and then shapeshifting and then attacking is still considered a telestomp? Ookkk

[@slimebuck]

i keep trying to use these non meta builds, but compared to meta builds their kill time is just WAY too slow for all the compromises they are making. like wolf barb vs even a WW barb is hands down, why would u take a semi aoe thing and turn it into a single target glass cannon?? single target builds just dont cut it...

[@glaringred]

Hi, I was just wondering what is the point of making that kind of builds. I mean, ok, if it is for BN the dueling may be superfun with that build(eq), but you have to sacrafice lots of time for finding eq like that not using any supporting programms like bots, right ? US still can play on BN, but lately when i tried to connect to BN on EUROPE it just cannot connect - it's like it is not supported anymore.... :(. So playing on single player its just, i don't know - it just makes no sense to me. I managed to complete hell difficulty LOTS of time without any off the stuff (runewords) like enigma, cta, hotos, doom etc. I mean, where's the point of making these items, when u complete the game ? To play on players 8 ? But still like your videos ;)

[@TenchiHawkwing]

Fun.

[@luhkoh822]

Satisfaction of farming good gear, working toward holy grail and runeword grail, grinding exp.

Play with PlugY mod where you can share chest with other single player characters. This enables gear farming on your main char for a smurf. Also, there is no lag in single player. 200 FCR is horrible on bnet.

Most annoying skill in D2 is werewolf... Why should I make a barb with it?

[@nikolaiczernobog1232]

Care to elaborate?

[@BudaFZ]

@@nikolaiczernobog1232 Sure. First of all there's the problem that you can't cast in werewolf form. Second there's this annoying skill witch needs to be proc. You kill the monsters and when you are coming back you are RLY slow. Third there's the fact that the zealer skill of the druid can be interrupted, witch makes it pure garbage. Forth is the fact that the werewolf form in D2 looks ridiculous. Maybe I can find more reasons, but these are the top ones for sure...

[@nikolaiczernobog1232]

@@BudaFZ 1. I suppose you mean BO, right? Just transform back and recast it, it's no biggie 2. Feral Rage? You need to charge it, you definitely don't proc it and it isn't hard to maintain max charge 3. That's why you use items with +FHR
