Barb accuracy glitches

I have read in some posts, about two potential ways to increase accuracy for a barb to 100%, but I am not sure whether these claims are accurate.
So could someone please confirm / refute whether:

- you can glitch a boss by using Devour as your first skill, which is supposed to give you 100% accuracy untill the boss dies.

- the use of Tangling Mire raises the accuracy on all mobs affected to 100% (probably for 10 secs), also for the use of AOE skills.

I have looked around on the forums to get further confirmation on these issues but could not find much, so I am hesistant to accept them as true. But still, if any (or both) of them would be true it would be useful information.

    Any physical defense debuff skill works, so devour and penetrate armor for barbs, Glacial Spike for BMs...

    I tested this a while back and it was true. I did not test if Tangling Mire works also but thats the rumor.

    It only works in PvE and only needs to be done once. Once you land (attack has to succeed) your debuff you will have 100% accuracy until the mob dies, even if the debuff goes away. This works on mobs and bosses. It doesn't work on players.

    nope, the glitch doesn't work on pvp, i've tested many times with my friend's archer, devour > auto atk few times, the fact it that i missed half of the auto atks in 30 seconds. im sure it doesn't work on pvp.

    -most people that post in a harsh color probably shouldn't post. Devour has to hit to be effective on acc.

    His post was accurate, though. The accuracy glitch is on PvE mobs/bosses only and doesn't work on players or in PvP. Even if Devour lands on an archer it won't effect the accuracy of your next hits.

    Psssh then you end up missing 'half of my auto attacks for the next 30 seconds'.

    70% chance of hit with devour = 50% chance of hitting with auto attack

    Seems legit b:avoid

    What are the opinions on Sage Bestial Rage? I tend to use Blood Bath when using it and have read another barb's complaint about the channeling time.

    You mean Sage Bestial Onslaught. It gains about 750 more damage over level 10, and sage increases the channeling by .7 seconds to become a never misses skill.

    The complaint is that it cannot zerk. This means that you have a 2.2 second cast+channeling skill with 100% accuracy and about double your normal dph but it can't zerk / zerk+crit. Alot of barbs PvP by weathering their opponents attacks till they land a lucky spike damage hit and this loss of a 100% accurate zerk upsets them. My opinion... Meh, if you're gambling on luck hoping you get a zerk crit instead of using skill then maybe you shouldn't be pvping.

    If you use Bloodbath with this skill level 10 is probably better than sage. Loss of zerk and the longer channeling penalty doesn't make up for 100% accuracy on a hard hitting skill.
    If you don't use bloodbath than not zerking but at least landing the hit is usually better than alot of the 60 dex barbs chances of making contact. I think of some barbs who hit my sin about 1/6 times average and can go 10+ average attacks without touching my sin. Landing one without the 15% chance to zerk is better than having a 15% chance to zerk but missing 83% of the time.

    You're right it was onslaught. I'm pve only, and even got the hellfire hatchets from morai. I'm thinking of learning it for the extra dmg I can do from range as well. -You know those kiting mobs that walk through walls.

    Yah, a trick I use for killing things on my cleric is use my environment and stand behind a rock or tree to attack. It gives me that much more time to kill things before they reach me. I was surprised the first few times in Morai I went to range a mob standing behind a rock and it walked straight at me through the rock. Physics fail.

    I went and learned both Sage Bestial Onslaught and Blood Bath since I'm loving my Barb so much. Just wanted to say; thanks for the info!
