What a fantastic build. I, too, have spent 20 years messing around with goofball theorycrafted d2 builds and I must say this one sits up pretty high. Every time you find an azurewrath or a lightsaber (if you're like me) you spend a minute staring at the screen, wondering what the hell you could possibly do with these super cool, yet seemingly limited swords. 10/10 build!

Hello, I must say great video and build! Really intersting using items that seem to be forgotten like the azu and lightsaber combo. I already have a barb and wanna try this out, I just have 2 questions. 1.Why not Arreats over Guillaumes? Besides CB, I think the +skills,stats and resis might play a role here. Arreats is usually best in slot for barbs even at ubers, but wanna hear why you picked it. 2.I alrady have both sword but considering fitting an Oath cyrptic sword to do more phys damage, I dont think I can leech from magic/elemental damage, but seems like its a good combo for lighting sword, wondering If I can do Azu/oath for all the ubers except Mephisto. Again, nice build man, really loved it!

1. I chose Gface for the crushing blow and deadly strike. Arreats is good for survivability however I think you should try to take down mephisto so as quickly as possible because he does so much damage. Even if you had that extra survivability there’s still a chance he can take you down. 2. You could probably replace light saber with oath just make sure you have either thunder gods or a wisp projector on for that lightning absorb

Some suggestions for the unkillable merc….run the Toll still as their wep but swap to a socketed GA upped armor and a socketed Kira’s. I run that merc on my zealot players 8 trav single player high runes farm and he’s an absolute tank As far as your weapons you could swap to relatively cheap runewords like Oath and Lawbringer. I think Lawbringer is super under rated for a frenzy barb off hand situationally. I’m actually running a Grief and Crescent Moon on my own frenzy barb in SP.

Deadly strike with Lo runes. This would still make it relatively cheap build, or you can go all put and put some ber runes for actual crushing blow... which would be pretty pricey, but still make you that much better. I'd say probably go with Lo runes, or get some 15 AIS dmg to mana jewels.. either way, I'd say this build does well enough.

Absorb does stack. Percentage is applied before integer.Lightning resist is applied before all absorbs. So for example 75% resist 40%absorb and 20flat absorb on 400 incoming lightning damage gives you: 1: 75 % resist decreases 400 to 100 2. 40% absorb decreases 100 to 60 3. 20 absorb decreases 60 to 40 4. All absorb healing is applied 40+20 so you will be healed by 20

To be honest, WW does not need a Damage buff, it just needs a buff on how it works. Right now it attacks a single target in weapons range every so many ticks depending on Weapon Speed. WW should change to attacking a target every so many ticks depending on weapons range but then attack something at all of those ranges (a weapon with 4 range would be able to attack a target at range 1, 2, 3 and 4). This would make it quite cool to use 2 big 2-handers for WW instead of just using double Grief.

Supprised you didnt chat about the usefulness of double swing with max frenzy charges. Double swing has a hidden 50%-80% ias boost, cant remember the exact number, but it also tends to help all on hit effects happen more often due to its mechanics. Ideally you keep frenzy stacked, throw a few double swings in, then frenzy again to keep it stacked to optimize damage output. I could be very wrong but I recall this being a thing years ago. Confirm / deny!

Lightning absorb as a number stacks with lightning absorb as a percentage, I'm not sure which is applied first but either way it's nice. For example, if you get hit with 100 points of lightning damage from an attack and you have 40% lightning absorb, and 20 flat lightning absorb, the 40% gives you 40 HP instead of you taking and the 20 flat gives you an additional 20 HP. So instead of taking 100 damage you heal for 60 then take 40, it's much more effective when you get hit with lots of small hits instead of one big hit.
