Hey guys, got a few questions for you regarding armors. I've just recently hit 99 and wish to start saving/farming for my TT99 gears. This is my current build (Demon Barb buffs only)

http://www.pwcalc.com/13cbf796ebd318b7

I know I know, not refined like they should be (don't laugh). One of the main things I'm having issues with is the necklace and belt I should obtain. I would like to get the Cube and Warsong elemental necklace and belt but I don't see that happening anytime soon. Any good suggestions for others? Also, is the TT99 chest and legs worth getting? or should I wait to get something better?

    first of all no1 will laught since it's a barb forum and we are always able to help brothers in blood!


    that's a basic barb gear for lvl99 http://www.pwcalc.com/8887733fb324d1e9
    tt99 gold is pretty much easy to get nowadays, all gold mats got cheaper, and can also be farmed. tt90 mag neck, almost the same as cube neck. tt90 mag belt, also a cheaper choice and not bad. at least all refines +5 (easy to go +5 and you'll need only mirages) try to have perfect shards, if you can't get them, use immaculates.


    BUT
    if you can afford rank8 at lvl 100, i'd prefer get only boots and wrists 99 and chest/legg rank8 (and weapon OFC): http://www.pwcalc.com/b88c3a61c09da72e
    the chest and legs give a little boost in def and the hp is almost the same.


    some advices:
    if you're not that PvP fan, i'd say reset the stats, try to have around 280 str, 170 vit and 60 dex (base).

    critical arrows don't have any effect in barb, the critical arrow is only effective with a bow.

    hope it helped you.b:cute
    btw nice signatureb:dirty

    tt90 gold belt doesn't really worth the money, the gold mats kinda cost too much for what they worth if u ask me, i'd definatelly suggest going for map4 belt that is better than the tt90 gold one and is free, but simply doing a quest chain (is not easy, but the reward is best belt unless the cs ones - warsong / jungle/ r9).

    I really appreciate the help guys. I do plan on getting my R8 gear once I hit 100, so I may stick with getting the boots and armlets for now. The info did help out Blood, thank you. And also thanks for the additional input on the belt ZetsumieX, I'll keep it in mind. The sig was one I made a while back actually, just wished i could have made the picture bigger to include more of the tiger.

    If anyone has laughed at your gear they need to meet my paws b:angry because as you stand now you can tank anything PvE related in game

    But um if your getting r8 at lvl 100 i wouldnt waist my time/money farming TT99 chest and legs (unless you were going to consider nirvana'ing them) and go for r8 chest, legs, weapon and TT99 wrists and boots and for the ornies if you can afford them get warsong and cube magic ornies or if not go for map 4 belt and sky demons pearl necklace

    Yeah i agree with everything that has so-far been said regarding your gear.

    R8 at 100 is amazing, although i personally dont have it as i had already planned out to not need it, although realistically i should have got it. Oh well

    I recommend getting Map 4 belt definitely as its very useful, and a swindlers necklace the 90 gold neck is always not a bad choice even though it doesnt refine overly well.

    In regards to NV? i say make sure you have your r8 leggings in the meantime and overtime i recommend you work on acquiring the NV pants first followed by NV helm or plate depending.

    Good luck!

    Map 4 belt is good, I use it on my seeker and will on my barb when I am able. In my opinion a good and often overlooked belt option is the Stone of the Jungle one - http://www.pwdatabase.com/pwi/items/28291 is the basic one. While not as good as the warsong one its still G14 and much cheaper - on my server Jungle stones go for about 6m each, and a Warsong badge goes for 85m

    Hmmm lot's of good information to consider. I guess I considered my gear a bit sub-par because as I run around my server and look at all the other HA users, they all have 4 socket, Perfect stones or better, and usually all refined to at least +5. The TT99 bracers and boots I'm going to get for sure, I think I will put another Immac in my TT90 chest and legs until I can get the R8 chest and legs. The Nirv leggings and helm I may aim for getting later on.

    Another question that's sort of off topic, this is strictly opinion based I know. What's your guys take on Hammers vs. Axes? I know hammers have the highest low end damage but the lowest high end damage compared to axes which have a higher high end. I've caught myself here lately when I look at weapons, that the fist place I look is the low end attack and see what the weapon's base damage is.

    You guys have been very helpful so far thank you b:thanks

    I prefer dual axes because of the higher spike damage

    that's a matter of preferences if u like constant dmg go for hammers, if u like spiking dmg go for axes, but also hammers (most of them) look **** and axes win anytime at looks :D b:cute

    also... if u asking about axes vs hammers i guessing u going for nirvana g15? if so i wouldn't waste money on r8, like i didn't on my barb too (i'm kinda antirank too) + consider tt99s / nirvanas are stashable if u even think on trying to have fun with an alt bm / seeker, unlike r8 that u need to buy for every char
    (my option for full nirvana instead of rank 8 / 9 -> gears be used by both bm and barb)
