My current gear/build. No buffs.

How am I doing on it so far?

I'm not planning to do pvp on my barb anymore due to all the packs and +12 gear running around that I'll never be able to afford, and the faction I'm in most likely will always need a barb to tank since they are pretty much just average players.

My question is, what should I work on getting in terms of equipment for higher levels? Stuff from packs is out of the question and so is gear past +4 most likely.

Managed to tank polearm today and cancel him every single time from the start. He didn't get to debuff me once. I think I'm getting good.b:pleased
I am a barb that does not powerlevel, nor cash shop. I may not be the highest level, nor have the best gear. However unlike others, I know how to play.b:pleased

    Well, you're doing good so far, but ditch the mag/vit tome for a str/vit one instead. Melee classes don't need mag. at all.

    As for gear for later lvl's, that depends. If you end up sticking it out to 100+ you won't likely get your TT99 unless you either work really hard, or cash shop. The 2 gold mats alone for the sleeves will set you back 11 mil. And that's not including the cost for the green mats either. The boots and chest are probably the 2 most expensive TT99 items to make (averaging 20-30 mil).

    If you can't afford that (like me), then your best bet is to just make your full set of TT90 green as good as you can get it (3-4 socket with immac/perfect shards). But at least update your axes to 99 green (those mats are dirt cheap).
    Some people risk to employ me

    Some people live to destroy me

    Either way they die

    I personally wear TT 80 full set refined +2 all around, sharded with flawless citrines. Cape of Tauren Chieftan 4 socket +2, 2x Misty Forest Ring, ***Buddha Bone Neck +2 w/ p.def +72 and vit +9 modifiers, Tome: Underestimated Resolve, OHT M.def belt refined +1.

    The 80 armor boasts more elemental resists than the 7x legendary gear does - which is great for tanking (and even the odd PK session against arcane classes). If I recall corectly, my unbuffed mdef is sitting at 47% right now with my current gear.

    Weaponry:
    Cudgel of ancient alloy: has gloom proc for extra damage at cost of 5% mana - lasts a decent amount of time. Has same +p.def modifier as giant ape axes and provides an additional 1% p.def (through some testing I can verify that it does not appear directly in your char sheet but does take effect).

    Giant Ape Axes: you haz them

    difference in HP buffed and in true form between the two weapons is only about 200-300 (thats nothing really when you're sitting on 11k+ in true form b:victory) depending on your HP. I personally like the cudgel more myself for the quicker attack rate and overall greater damage due to gloom proc.

    I'm personally considering going for the TT 90 gold arcane belt and the 99 gold arcane neck.

    This looks like a NECRO!

    sqwishiebear replied to a message that was 3 years 7 months 6 days 4 minutes old.

    Any thread over one month (30 days) old is considered to be a dead thread and you're not supposed to post in them. The person you are replying to probably doesn't care any more or can no longer be found on the forums. The topic itself could be out of date. Next time just make a new thread.

    Let's see how long it takes for a mod to close this :)

    3 1/2 year necro and horrible advice.

    No point in Brute (tt90 gold) set anymore since 90-100 can be done so fast. Sky Demon's Pearl is a decent enough neck, but phys ornaments should be avoided in favor of magic necklaces and the same thing against Eye of Jungle (assuming you're talking the G10 lvl 40 belt, not the jungle ruins belt). It's a very decent belt... for level 40s. The refine rate is low and by level 80/90 its outdated. Demon Slaughter is your cheapest option, Cube your best, and Warsong a healthy middle. Also, avoid "vit tomes" as a single stat tome will have less overall stats than a str/vit tome.
