What are your opinions about a Occult Slayer / Ravager Barbarian Drow for end game? Is it worth to change FB to OS? How much SR one could get?

Not really worth it on a drow.  Dwarf is better so they can use "Throw Your Weight Around" from racial.  From what I have seen, yes it can get to workable with a dwarf.  I also believe their is insightful spell resistance floating around with new loot gen.

Spell resistance from items doesn't stack with drow I believe(?). Needs verification, but you can get a spell resistance 50 devotion ring. If you had even a little con, and the occult slayer capstone + an insightful spell resistance item you would be immune to cc effects.

However:



Just build dps. You will be more happy at the end of the day.

Yarr.

I read on mobo that right now insightful SR itens arent stacking with Drow + OS capstone. The enhancement itens arent stacking like they never did with Drow. But Drow and OS stack.

The thing is Drow would give 40 SR + whatever CON you can get to a barb. And they might fix the insightful items someday.  + you can twist 9 from GMoF. I suppose you could get around 120 SR? Would that someone immune to CC?

The thing with TYWA is that you dont have the AP to spend on it. You need 41 on OS and 39 on Ravager to get the good stuff.

Who cares about spell resistance. Only spells subject to it that actually matter in end game are symbols of stunning in one single quest: creping death. And they are very easy to avoid and the quest is not hard so meh. Why bother with that, just build for dps because that's all the game is about.

drow is higher dps than dwarf due to saving ap from racial requirements, and easier to reach higher SR scores. dwarf gets more HP.

http://www.ddovault.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1416353604

dwarf and drow versions posted for U24. the dwarf was a lama build, and i did the drow on live.

Drow Occult 2 weapon barb here.. I love playing her. My SR gets over 120 and I can dish out DPS with the best of them. I just get kinda spoiled when I have to switch to another toon and can't just wade in and smoosh any more Sad

LOL.. 5 foot chimes in and I'm reminded of Mr. Horse from Ren & Stimpy

"Well Mr. Horse, what do you think?"
"Hmm.. well sir, I didn't like it..."

If I had anything to bitch about when it comes to my Drow Barb, race is irrelevant. Weapon Bond abilities only apply to primary/main hand weapon Sad

Been there, shifting toons can be deadly.

Yeah, sadly true, but such a cool fucking idea....  Embarrassed

So obnoxious that I couldn't really believe it until I had tested every possible fix and finally had to accept they would do something so stupid to such a good idea.

Dual Dwarven Axes?


yes because with the combination of larger base damage and amount of extra dice +W rolled with each of my main cleave attacks, as well as the higher crit modifier on 19-20s with headsman chop, i choose the daxes over the khopeshes.

and from the video i think you can see why when crits are hitting for 18k+ self buffed

yeah, I was thinking about it, to go DA over HP since crit is on 19-20 and DA has a much better base damage. You think human is better than dwarf with TYWA because of the boost? Or do you need the AP's spent elsewhere?

My barb is human, I gave up on the idea of a Occult Slayer, the damage is bad. I am thinking about to level up all points on CON, to use FB T5 and capstone, and get some good stuff on OS and Ravager. What do you think?

yes my action points are spent elsewhere. i have 3 spent in human to double boost, heal amp and to have an extra feat

i've tried the ravager tier 5 and capstone and the 6 mob pk can be nice if youre getting it to land otherwise it's just lacking in  terms of damage

mine is somewhat similar except for:

str as level ups.

quickdraw, weapon focus, and power critical instead of toughness feats

instead of slaughter and laughter in ravager i use first tier into ear smash for a 6 second helpless.

and in ld you're missing haste boost. i'd drop 3rd tier of momentum swing considering that's a 4-6 attack among your main attacks

Why picks? They are 1d6 and crit on 20. DA are 1d10 and crit on 20. Both go to 19-20 with improved critical and with headman's chop DA gets X1 multiplier on 19-20, that is its crit profile anyway.
