Obviously this wont match a high +Faster Cast Rate Sorceress, and you can't run over walls, but you get the deal. This means the character can run at speeds similar to teleport speeds of many classes. Faster run/walk scales linearly:įinalRunSpeed = BaseRunSpeed+BaseWalkSpeed (skillFRW/100 +/100 + armourRed/100)Īnd a level 20 frenzy gives us +171 faster run/walk. Which saves us a ton of right-hand clicks and makes for a very comfortable playstyle.

This means that enemies do not need to be clicked to be attacked. Enemies that are in the path of the Barbarian will be attacked with Frenzy. We can hold down right click and point our cursor towards where we want to move. For this build, our main attack (Frenzy) is on right click. I'm actually putting this first as I've experienced, and heard from others, that D2 can often cause carpal tunnel syndrome due to all the right-hand clicking that goes on. Beyond survivability, the build has several satisfying features including: That means anything including Blood Lords with scary stacked mods and packed throne rooms (Gloams, Dolls) and anya maps (Stygian Furies) in players 8 hell games.

Note that this guide is written in the context of clearing any and all content in the game. From my experience and research, officer_wiggles is the perfect Frenzy Barb. The exact gear/inventory he's using is what I'll be discussing. I'm going to use officer_wiggles as a point of reference for this guide. I've pretty exhaustively tested gearing options for the build, and have arrived at what I consider the strongest build/gear choice. There's some amazing research/artciles into D2 game mechanics and class abilities, from which I've done a lot of Frenzy Barb theorycrafting over the years. I think there's a lot of misconceptions and stereotypes about the class and build, which I thought I'd attempt to address with a formal written guide.
