As a barb lover. The first 30 seconds crushed my heart. But you repaired it in the last 30 seconds. Once you're done with hell in group play all you need is to dual wield spirits, get some ress and mana going and an insightt on your Merc and you can start the pindle grind. Get quick loot. Trade everything cheap because all others want the Pala and sorc gear. Get stronger. Grind council get runes. Start ama

Find item barb is literally the best class to start ladder, for experienced player only* Back in the old LoD you couldn't make games in rapid succession so your best starter was the sorc, because of teleport (also best bot class), so you could teleport to mep, andariel, maybe few more places and complete the session. In D2R the best way to find items is pindleruns by the time you will find any end act boss you could have done a fair number of pindleruns, and the best pindle runner is the find barb. It is little difficult to get it started to that point but once you get to that point you will shoot through the race like a flash, and get very rich, surpassing everyone else. Once the market is flooded with items, you can transition to travincal for those good rune drops.

I always picked ww barb as my 1st char on hc, and I consider it solid. Can go anywhere (except maybe ubers) and slowly but surely do all the stuff. The only challenge is to get a decent weapon, unlike pally who just gets 2x spirit, lore and stealth and is geared for hell.

I have never understood the idea that barbs are weak. Even with no high runes, I could survive long enough to do just about anything. When sorcs feared hell baal teleport runs, I'd just run though myself. Then I got a fortitude and dual oaths and could run chaos pretty competently. It wasn't ground breakingly fast, but I wasn't ever at risk of dying either. Then when I got dual griefs, it was GG. I can run anything, and since I'm often rune hunting, I don't really want to skip mobs, so the lack of teleport isn't an issue. Immunes aren't an issue. I don't have to kite mobs -- I just wade in and beat things to death. I don't have to be careful around anything. Just turn off the brain and spin to win. When you see phys immunes, switch to berserk. GG. Don't even need a merc. Not the fastest, but definitely the easiest, cheapest, and most versatile class to run.

Yeah this 100%. Even low budget frenzy barb can run travincal just fine. I tested barb in ptr with unbending will + law bringer and was easily doing 4 mim chaos runs. Travincal was easy too. Unbeding will + law bringer/azure wrath Treachery Gface/ik helm Loh Goblin toes Angelics With this gear you can do almost everything in the game but you should stick to travincal. You should be able to find most of your items by doing nm meph few times. All you need is black and malice to start farming that nm andariel (you can even farm ubers with these). But yeah, each to their own.

I might roll a barb first just for how difficult it is to play through and level up solo, as opposed to my usual sorceress. I don't think I'll be going for 99. Even if I really wanted to I'll just re-aggravate the carpel tunnel. I just want to farm overpriced items for FG to fund a 50K PvP char. Or so I can have an enigma/cta/anni on every character. tldr ladder is about the money, for me. I've never got a character higher than my current 95 sorc.

Key farmer + smiter in the first weeks is the most profitable. (farmed first two weeks only and still have alot of wealth left and two decked out pvp chars. Second best strat imo is to go barb. You can farm nihlatak very early on and do travincal for hrs. You should expect to find few hrs on the fisrt week when those are insanely valuable. You would need to meph farm for weeks to find enough shakos to compare what kind of runes trav barb can find. In addition you can gamble circlets (low value at start, but prices gos up mid mid ladder when pvp start) and craft amulets, smiters gloves etc. Simple 2/10/all res amulets can net some good values early on. Imo only noobs go for meph farming and they will be stuck doing that for all ladder and staying poor.
