How will my zerk barb fare?
 

hmm? HMM?

He uses ebotd cb. 6.6k-13k zerk damage dual wield. 9k Single handed. =D =D =D =D =D.

All vita build. Ill probably have 45 block wif items when done. (for stormhield)

ive come to relieve without max block true melee pk'ers will laugh @ you...ive never made a character with max block cause never understood the your block rate is under your defence not what you shield has >_<...but i would just through the maybe 50 dex points into it to get block rate up there...other then that i dont see why it wouldnt be teh 1337z3r

I think that you will need to wield a shield because without it you will get hit EVERY single time becuase when ever you swing with Zerk you defence goes to 0. With a Botd Zerker your range will be 3. Also zerker barbs have a hard time hitting anything but melee becuase it has a slow animation. Not sure of the rest of your equipment but i think enigma would be the best armor to allow you to get close enough to hit anyone except tele whores.

what is the range thing, i see people talking about it???

Okay.

Lets convert actual gaming few inches into a milimeter.

With a zerker, you can WW and hit them being 10 milimeters away. With a CB you can do like being 15 milimeters away. The advantage? You can hit a Zerker WWer 5 milimeters before the zerker wwer can hit you.

Atleast thats what i assume. Its not 100% accurate, probabaly not even 10% accurate, but who knows.

It may not be accurate in distance, but that's the basic concept.

ok so if, 2 ww'ers ww'd at each other the one with the cb would hit the other first? could you just guestamate the range on the length of the weapon?

Eh, it's hard to say in length of, say, pixels. But slaynish has a pretty good idea, if you both WW at each other, the longer weapon length would most likely hit first.

He has a shield....

Wif arreats + 2x near P ravens (20 dext each) he has max block. The 45 block was a random guess. Didn't think i'd have as much dext as I did.

I do think ebotd cb has bigger range, but that's not the reason I chose it. I didn't even take it into consideration.

OriginallY I was going to use EBOTD tunder maul. MASSIVE zerk damage, but no block and its slow.

I decided to go with CB because it can be held in one OR two hands. Sure it's damage isnt as high, but IMO its better.

Actually you are both wrong and right Sov. When using a CB in two hands it has a range of 5, but when using it in only one hand it has a Range of 3 which is the same as a EBOTD Zerker. 3 is the highest 1 handed range. and 5 is the range of two handed weapons. well i guess minus bows which have insane range. I also still think that you might want to consider putting some more into dex due to the fact that i dont think you realize how often melee will hit a barb when they have 0 defence from zerk.
