[@ischi8368]

MrLlamaSC, pounding dudes since 2000

[@LednacekZ]

i am here for the pounding.

[@gnome0freakv3]

Laughed so hard when he said it then scrolled for this comment xD

[@o.k.2254]

"and doing some double swing" -poor choice of words

[@mltbs1]

53:10 😂 I know it is

[@Harahgon]

Playing through the game was the first thing my dad taught me back in the days

[@MPLoura]

Pounding dudes left and right for 20+ years. My mans endurance knows no bounds.

[@HoangNguyen-ym9ce]

maybe you could spend a few minutes to talk about your current gears/skill points at each stage of the game, it would be nice to show your realistic progression throughout the game

[@irrwegeirrwege255]

@Oodles of Noodles see what you mean but if you watched part and need to find a moment to watch again some timestamps at the beginning of acts or when he makes a significant change or reskill would be great to use this as a resource - cheers

[@HoangNguyen-ym9ce]

@Oodles of Noodles having Sigon set or Lore runeword is hugely different from getting Shako or Spirit, but yeah just skip it and instead grind all your stuff from blizzard sorceress lol

[@HoangNguyen-ym9ce]

@Oodles of Noodles also not everyone would spend 3 hours to watch the whole walkthrough though

[@bendingsands87]

I wonder how your gearing would turn out if you focused on using find item during your playthrough. You'd sacrifice some damage to put points into find item, but maybe the loot would be worth it.

[@jonnyalmond]

It might add a bit of fun but it would be much slower getting any reasonably good drops due to the low MF and skill levels, plus killing speed much slower. Also it'd be much slower getting to the later difficulties where the actual good gear is, so ultimately the gear would be worse, and for longer!

[@TheTWH9]

By far the easiest barb leveling through normal I've ever done playing along with this. Goes to show the difference when someone knows what they're doing vs super casual me at 12 years old lol thank you MrLlama!

[@JoeArn1]

It used to take me a week to get through Act 2, now I can walk it in like two hours if I’m messing around

[@psychoticax645]

Petition to rename this build to "Bardbarian".

“We’re gonna play the singer.” Does use a single war cry the entire video.

[@contris1]

duh he will start singing after lvl 30 (war cry skill)

[@jonklopez]

Wow this brings back so much memories, I never realized barbarian was a hard character to play. I really enjoyed playing it and just jumping into battle was so fun.

[@bobross795]

Mister lama I have a question for you if Diablo immortal is a preview of d4 are you willing to denounce blizzard as a shit company that shouldn’t get one dollar from the American people.

[@kennethbaker3529]

Hope you enjoyed "pounding dudes straight up...."

[@mityakiselev]

" go smoke" - MrLlamaSC, 2022 peepoHappy 🚬 MOM LOOK WHAT MR LAYMA TAUGHT ME

[@jamesvandiver7193]

Poison Necromancer with poison dagger as primary attack!!!

[@gizanked]

I can't wait for the part where he's like" huh ho who huh huh ho huh wah huh huh huh "

[@Ubeogesh]

Act 1 merc really helps with hitting things because of inner sight. Prefer it to blessed aim merc any day. When you already have 300% AR from your mastery and frenzy and dexterity, the extra 150% from is not as big of an increase as flat -300 armor from Inner sight. She literally reduces the defense of everything to 0 on normal, you don't even need to battle cry them. I am doing a barb right now in normal, I had 58% chance to hit nihlathak on the character sheet. But I hit him every time (despite him being level 68 and me 40)

[@entarork1]

Lvl 30 barb 50str 50dex, 10 sword mastery, 5 frenzy, 2x malice broadswords hitting nithlatak: 47% chance to hit with blessed aim merc. 50% with inner sight merc. 53% blessed aim + lvl1 battle cry. So it seems comparable, but blessed + battle cry wins in boss fights. But I would say Inner sight wins in regular map clearing.

[@Ubeogesh]

@@entarork1 not sure why do you say that? Even baals defense can be reduced to 0 with inner sight. Also rogue has much better chance of staying alive

[@entarork1]

@@Ubeogesh I was just curious how it performs on paper, and to share numbers. I haven't tried act1 merc like that. I may give act1 merc a try at Ladder with Throwbarb. So thanks for idea.

[@thomaszinecker1785]

Exactly now apply that logic of yours to eschutas and anyone will quickly know why it's terrible for a light sorc being she has light mastery

[@Ubeogesh]

@@thomaszinecker1785 wrong thread?

[@m1ramaxe]

my favorite playthrough too! and now on a d2r platform! MrLlamaSC lets play over and over again! Is this one first d2r playthrough? huh?

[@fireflyggamber7637]

Elden ring in 24 hours boys!!

[@djleano3737]

Anyone ever tried polearm barb? What main attack skill would you focus on? Concentrate or berserk?

[@datiger39]

I haven’t but tons of people use EBOTD GPA for hell council farming I’ve heard using WW, like most barb builds I’d imagine you’d need some gear for it to be decent. Singer is the best through normal and nightmare and honestly WW with gear is great you can p8 the game relatively easy with some gear

[@thatisamazing912]

Both, berserk for physical immune.

[@jamessampson9410]

I really love these playthroughs, I don't get to watch much on twitch so these formats on yt is really great, thx man

[@DickNiaz26]

3:00:28 The same thing echoed by all of my untwinked Dragon Talon builds. The added 50% fire res is also often overlooked.

[@macrot5419]

Love these playthroughs. Might actually play along, I've always wanted to sing my way through D2.

[@t2acre]

Just another llama video where he “pounds dudes straight up”

[@brooksteasley]

Glad to hear even more guided playthroughs are coming!!

[@game_jinx]

bash needs 25%splash

[@L00TxGoblin]

Please please do a guided play through of the martial arts assassin pure tiger strike and dragon tail. Players 8 just by getting good damage boots and using them normal and Nm again players 8 sooooo much damage!

[@mmarosmiscik]

Man when i played this as a kid it was my fantasy to be a powerhouse barb, swinging axes but i could never play him decently. I learned a lot watching your stream and its pretty unfortunate that for the 'unrivalled master in hand to hand combat' you are down to throwing flasks and chugging health potions all the time. He should be cleaving through the enemies and drinking their bodily fluids instead of health potions.

[@tallmills]

true, "Find Sustenance" instead of Find Potion lol

[@kennethnegaard7599]

Good job brother. It's always a pleasure to watch your vids. I just started a BardBarian, going to emulate your WarCry Barb. I was going to reset my lvl 30 Barb but I decided to start one fresh from Level 1,. Lol

[@Ubeogesh]

1:11:34 Eth rune won't make merc "lower defense even more". It's not a debuff that is applied to the monster, it's just a multiplier in HIS chance to hit formula. Just like the resist pierce on items like griffons not lowers the actual monster resist.

[@Frostbytedigital]

Llama said "so he can lower defence even more" meaning from the perspective of the merc. He never says that the monsters defense is reduced from the perspective of the barbarian. It isn't as clear of a statement as llama usually makes, but it's not necessarily incorrect.

[@jamesmichaelcox]

Barb is under appreciated. Guided Play Throughs are always a blast.

[@Frostbytedigital]

I'd always heard they were terribad, but I just made one on singleplayer a few days ago and it's now my favorite character. Playing on Nintendo switch frenzy is just so much fun.

[@MrRaccoonSloth]

mr llama made me do this

[@redelfshotthefood8213]

Nachos? Carbs, Salt, and Fat. What could go wrong? All foods we have no “off switch” for because in our evolution as a species these things never were superabundant until modern times. These things led me to become a type 2 diabetic at age 53. Diagnosed at 58. Because I’d ignored the general advice given because it never applied to me. Until one day it did. And I couldn’t tell. Because I was inside the problem now. So. Do yourself a favour: once a month maximum nachos. Or. Special occasion nachos. And goodbye chips otherwise. Because diabetes 2 will catch up to you as you age.

[@Ubeogesh]

If you keep up with levels (don't have too horrible chance to hit), once you get a couple points in frenzy it's more DPS to get 2 war hammers with some ED% from Hratli. They are slower but deal 2 times more damage than Malice Flail.

[@philcarr7807]

I've been waiting for these guides

[@Dlf212]

Barbarian: I"m gonna yell at the corpse to find gold, or potions, and other items.

[@YannickSteve]

as far as I could make out, this person in the camp asked you to clean the den of evil. Yet you moved out and just wasted time running around being concerned with yourself. Thats really not the type of hero I hoped to see here. 0/10

[@OliverMichael7]

When you lvl up, why dont you go 2strenght 2 dex 1 vit every lvl. You cant miss, you get stronger and more hp. At some point i would stop with dex and go 3str and 2 vit. Beside that good video like all content you give 👍

[@schwarzertee7586]

somebody help me... P7 6 hours of LK runs in Hell of course... and the highest I found was a Fal.... I just need that 1 Lo tho

[@Gee2316]

Increasing drop rates in this game would suck I'm happy you have to grind for gear it makes it so much better when you get a good item especially ssf.

[@Animosaro970]

This is the best build, everyone should try this just to see how fun it is

[@jarredcarlson2479]

Tried farming a telestaff for my necro yesterday for thirty minutes in NM from Akara… before finally remembering my sorc had something with port stashed away in personal…..

[@dumitrubotez992]

Double swing just seems like an inferior version of zeal. The only advantage is the potentially 0 mana cost.

[@jeffreybarker357]

The comment about “watching her bounce for hours” has me dyyyyyying!!! Ohhhhh my gawd!

[@ignacioariasrivas4474]

does someone know why he uses flail instead of any other mace weapon, also, does someone know why he uses maces instead of axes or swords, looks to me like you could replicate this with any other kind of weapon.

[@tsmith4338]

Would like to see how you play a Barb in Hell. Seems every monster has 100% mana steel per hit.

[@theslenderdevil]

how did you change player count when you played online non ladder because when i select offline i don't get choice to choose a ladder char or can you use player count when you play solo but online?

[@sokratezz9924]

"Hello" to the phillippines, but the germans may only give subs... 😀

[@stephensteele2844]

I built a singer barb hit a hard wall of no Baal nightmare, so I just turned him into a gold find barb and spend my time doing trav runs lol

[@cjay6512]

wondering why the Barb that can leap needs the teleport staff? just for speed?

[@adamboyd5190]

"Pounding dudes straight up". Ew. Don't want to see that. Lol

[@sydual5887]

Awesome guide and super helpful. It's nice to see a video since it has more detail than a written guide. One question though: After getting frenzy do we build charges then double swing or only use frenzy? It seems like I attack much faster with double swing after getting frenzy charges

[@dadtier564]

I wanna know as well

[@wrightsmind]

“Poundin dudes, straight up”

[@mattyryon]

Title fooled me, it's actually a frenzy double strike barb

[@brandon13k]

Is he really this good or was someone banging on a trash can and telling him what’s coming? 😂

[@aa-vp1nf]

Why "players down to 1" on a boss? Is it not better to keep it at least at 3 so loot might be better?

[@NerdGlassGamingPA]

[@dariuszk.3536]

I laughed so hard at the $100 donation for P8 duriel xD

[@rtaber3065]

these playthroughs are my favorite content. they never get old. thank you!

[@bobnewkirk7003]

That new leap feels so good. Looking forward to seeing if you run A1 with insight or stick with A2. The P8 Duriel fight was great, and I am looking forward to these upgraded playthroughs. I want to see your updated run on Sorc before I have to do it solo come 2.4. Very much on the fence about FO/Hydra into Nova, or just Nova/FW straight through. Also A3 mercs need to be able to use staves.

[@Frostbytedigital]

I guess with the changes to mercs in 2.4 there's no reason to get your might merc early on. but I think holy freeze is better CC than A1 imo. I'd still go a2 for everything, Insight in an eth exceptional base just wrecks at 27.

[@danijel57]

1:23:00 - mrLlama, can you share the link to streamerHax exe pls. thanks edit: 2:05:55 - i see the new version of streamerHax is voice activated, providing runes, flails, teleport staves, etc. on command. are the streamerHax provided by twitch directly? how does it work? please advise

I was already a singer when killed baal with a wand with 20fcr and 74mana and a throwing axe with +1 to barb skill levels and holy hell the fight was super easy but it did take super long and couple of inventorys worth of mana pots 😂 did not have any crushing blow weaps and still don't have, currently shout farming nm countess and I'm really liking this singing barb..

[@donutkillmehh]

When that el dropped I cackled

[@Micloren]

Watched a lot of ur vids & others. I’m interested in commentary regarding what items are junk and why (better rune words, can be bought from vendor easily, just not useful at all stat wise, etc). There are numerous vids on what items are good/decent/amazing but that’s not the same as a baseline of “this is just trash”. Especially rings & amulets. I bring this up because my inventory is constantly cluttered.
