Diablo 2 Barbarian Strategies

Submitted by: Jack Callaghan

This is a quick guide for the beginners. You might be struggling at the first stage of Diablo 2. But you’ll see the joy of it as the time passes. In the meantime, you are gonna need some strategies. Some of them will be created by yourself, some will be advice. Anyway, some useful tips won’t do any bad.

Every Diablo 2 player has their own strategy. As the time passes, you’ll see a growth of your quickness and skill usage. You’ll have your own technique, setup and creation in order to slain monsters and bosses through dangerous and exciting dungeons really soon. But for the starters, it might be useful to provide some basic strategies.

Get two good one handed melee weapons of the same type that will be your #1 set weapons. These will be your main fighting weapons. You’re number two weapons should be a two handed weapon that does big damage first of all, and has a lot of stats second. It should be of the same weapon class as your two number one set weapons. Put a lot of points into the mastery of this type. Your main attack for the two single handed weapons should, or course, be frenzy. Leap Attack out of the way if you get surrounded. The main attack should be berserk for the #2 weapons. Carry around a good shield with high defence and resistances. Also carry throwing weapons because some monsters need to be killed with ranged attacks (monsters that are fire enchanted, cold enchanted, aura enchanted (thorns or holy freeze), and lightning enchanted). You should put points into throwing mastery for these situations.

Single handed weapons are the Razor’s Edge Tomahawk, and the Rune Master Ettin Axe (with a perfect skull, a perfect emerald, a thul rune, a perfect sapphire). Ranged weapons are the Gimmershred Flying Axe (which is pretty good at harnd-to-hand too), and the Lacerator Winged Axe, the best two in the game. I dont know if they get points from axe mastery and throwing mastery, because it says axe class on the weapons, but it is definitely a throwing weapon. Probably the best two handed weapon is the Hellslayer Decapitator, but I also recommend the Frostwind Champion Axe with a perfect skull, two perfect emeralds, and a Um rune. A runeword war axe, Breath of the Dying are also recommended and a rare Ward, which adds 54 to all resistances (after I put two perfect diamonds in it), and has a defense of 210, among other stats I mostly use.

These are other good weapons for the barbarian strategy above. A good sword is The Grandfather Colossus Blade (600+ max. damage) and good maces are The Cranium Basher Thunder Maul (600+ max. damage) and the Earth Shifter Thunder Maul (700+ max. damage), even though it is really a druid mace. Another good shield is The Ward Gothic Shield, or a runeword ancient pledge in exceptional or elite shield.
