With youtube only pushing Rogue solo gameplay, I'm glad to finally find a solo Barb video with good commentary. Thanks man, keep up the good work.

[@stahliboi6249]

Yeah rogue solo is just so boring and honestly kinda hard to pull off well

[@dome4297]

@@stahliboi6249 If you dont have good items or medium good items, you cant face a 2-3 man squad. But if you get some decent dagger and good armor with the right buffs you can go for the solo rogue rounds. If you dont have any of it or only the start equipment, then you need to get in and get out as fast as possible. But more important than that, is the fact you need to be able to lose your equipment, if you are scared of loosing that strong necklace you wont commit enough in fights and eventually die because of being scared to lose something.

[@itzruinikx7653]

Dude this run by far is the most craziest run i have seen yet! this is awesome, i honestly thought it was game over when you where at that cage door in the darkness. the fact you made it out has me dumb founded. this game is awesome i just hope i don't run into players like you in it any time soon sheesh i would have been maaaaad as f**k if i was that rouge. i tell you what. 8:00 - 14:58 its crazy to think this game is only in its alpha stages, i really hope they make it cross platform like chivalry but better, and they do more maps and layers and perhaps later on drop a couple other classes. that would be awesome. i currently can not play this game due to my laptop being complete utter dog water, so watching streamers like you do crazy stuff like this entertains me. that circle kill was Crazy! i tell you but awesome, that guy was packed full of goodies like a pinata. hahaha..

HOTFIX: The Wraith, Skeleton Champion, and Centaur can no longer be Feared! The build still works perfectly just be aware of this change when speeding through the dungeon. This is the only build in the game where i can farm and listen to music while fighting chests/barrels and screaming at monsters to paralyze them. 🎉😊 Tune in live at www.twitch.tv/sobadstrange where its mostly madness & stupidity and inventing new builds on the fly!

Great run, really great skill, but this run was NOTHING like a normal run. You got like 300 gold of healing to spam in this run, most of it from a single PvP loadout you killed for. Vast majority of players won't have a single healing item on them when you kill them, nevermind enough to full heal a Barbarian 1.5x lmao. That said, half of it was wasted on swarm damage, but still. Insanely lucky finds on healing items.

[@trawtri3799]

If you don’t bring that same amount of meds every raid it’s the reason you’re not extracting 😭😭. And that’s like 50-60 gold on healing TOPS

So far its a really good video with intense situations

[@chaoticnewrtl]

AWESOME RUN! Barb main here, the fear can stop Dungeon Mobs animations like fireball. But it does NOT do this for mini bosses, if they start the attack it finishes. Although you can Preempt the mini boss from STARTING the animation they won’t run but they get stunned. That’s how fear works on mini Bosses 🪓🎅👍 well this is now obsolete as of hot fix Friday lol. Just a new thing to work around! Watch those bosses now lol.

[@nltiro3387]

The joy I got from watching you axe that decked out rat of a rogue, the only thing that could match would be killing a purple longbow ranger

[@left4hash317]

Nooooo I been using this since day one of this playtest this build is amazing my group loves my stun such a good build!

[@JeffreyBezeau]

Barb is actually the best PVE class imo. The fear is just amazing. Wanna escape the room? Fear when they're about to hit you at the door, open, close it back on them...run away. Wanna clear some monster very fast? 1 Axe hit, Fear as they about to hit you back, then swing twice to kill and keep going. The fact that you can use it to support your offense or more in a defensive way, so well, make it the best PVE skill in the game imo.

good lord the pucker factor on this video. I was tense the entire time how do you stay so cool as a cucumber with 1HP and ticking up and down like that THEN YOU WENT BACK FOR MORE??

[@SoBadStrange]

Haha Mekose you legend. Always love your reactions! It’s just experience and when you start naked I don’t really feel like I lose anything when I die. You can be geared in this game within 15m if you have a great run or two. I was upset when I lost my rubysilver full though, that armor was expensive and beautiful 😍

[@sirrealism7300]

The right click of the double axe deals about 140-150 damage if its white. Its so good. Its right click is a little underwhelming though...

[@SoBadStrange]

Haha agreed. I was mostly using it to kill objects or monsters rather than in PvP but at least nearly all weapons have some form of secondary attack now =)

[@BioHazardxX1]

I wonder if they are going to add more inventory space with this coming soon weight limit. I feel like b2 you just have full pockets and or go to hell and come out with full pockets. Adding B1 into the mix your going to have to really juggle loot and drop some flawed stuff maybe even some greens for the blues/purples. Not to mention all the gear you can potentially find through the course of the whole dungeon and all the people you kill/loot.

[@SoBadStrange]

PANDA! PANDA! PANDA! More inventory space and better loot sorting items on the way in Feb! I asked for backpacks and they listened. Prepare for the five knuckle loot shuffle as we stuff our bags like fat kids on Halloween!

[@brooksybaby03]

I'm a noob and it may be a skill issue but I've moved to the one handed axe. I don't have to hit my axe on every single fucking obstacle on the map whilst fighting and I can actually catch people running away.

[@swellestorc975]

ngl it might seem kinda boring but can you make a guide on selling items? cause knowing the prices on items like surgical kits, gear with specific stats and things ppl put in the trade menu would help a lot.

[@saint_snow]

Whites and greys sell to merchants. Color rarities dont matter as much as rolls and mainly set an average price. Greens- 50-100g, Blue 100-200g, Purple 200-500g and so forth. The main weapons and armor that sell the most are usually what is in high demand by the most played classes. Think daggers and longbows. Those sell regardless and with good rolls will get much more. As for like little things like surg kits and such, just use them. No one really is looking for them and will take a bit to sell.
