Diablo 2 Resurrected Frenzy Barbarian? Here's Your Ultimate Guide!

Jun-21-2024

 

In "Diablo II: Resurrected," the Frenzy Barbarian is one of the most explosive and exhilarating classes among all characters. The thought of wielding dual axes and splitting enemies with lightning speed in battle scenes makes my blood boil. Today, I will take you into this character and show you how to turn him into a true demon slayer.

 

 

Skill Point Allocation

First, let's start with skill point allocation. The core skill of the Frenzy Barbarian is naturally Frenzy, which is not only your main output method but also key to quickly moving through the battlefield. My recommendation is to prioritize maxing out Frenzy. Each level increase not only boosts damage but also attack speed, which is particularly important for output enhancement. Every upgrade increases your attack speed, allowing you to tear through enemies like a whirlwind.

 

To improve early-game output, it's recommended to invest some points in Double Swing. This skill is not only cost-effective but also quite practical in the early stages.

 

Battle Orders and Battle Command are essential skills to learn, as the former increases your health and mana caps, while the latter enhances all skill levels. Both are guarantees for survival and sustained combat. Battle Cry is equally important, as it can reduce enemy defenses and damage, making you more adept at facing powerful monsters.

 

To increase survivability, I also recommend Natural Resistance and Iron Skin, especially when facing various elemental attacks, additional resistances allow you to remain calm and collected.

 

Gear Selection

The choice of equipment is crucial for the Frenzy Barbarian. My recommended weapon is dual wielding Breath of the Dying runeword axes. These weapons not only have high damage but also life steal effects, keeping your health up during battles.

 

For armor, I suggest choosing Fortitude or Stone, and embedding the stone runewords on the armor, which provides high defense and health bonuses, making you tougher in melee combat. For a helmet, Arreat's Face is recommended, being a classic barbarian equipment that offers comprehensive attribute enhancements and resistances.

 

Gloves and boots should be Dracul's Graspand and Gore Rider, respectively, providing life steal, damage reduction, and additional damage bonuses. The belt can be chosen between Arachnid Mesh or Verdungo's Hearty Cord, depending on whether you need increased attack speed or improved survivability.

 

Combat Strategy

In battle, I suggest using Battle Command and Battle Orders first to enhance your status, then use Battle Cry to lower enemy defenses and damage. Afterward, launch into Frenzy, swiftly moving between enemies to kill them as fast as possible.

 

When facing a single powerful enemy, use Bash and Leap Attack for burst damage, combined with Frenzy's high attack speed and life steal effects, easily dealing with most enemies.

 

Against groups of enemies, rely more on Whirlwind, which not only clears the field quickly but also keeps you mobile within enemy ranks, reducing the risk of being surrounded.

 

Lastly, in combat, make full use of terrain and positioning to dodge enemy attacks while finding the best angles of attack to enhance survivability and combat effectiveness.

 

Conclusion

Creating a frenzied barbarian requires not only skill and strategy, but also a passion and dedication to the game. The exhilarating sensation of wielding dual axes and swiftly felling wave upon wave of enemies is unparalleled. If you're eager to experience this ultimate thrill, then follow this guide to craft your own frenzied barbarian.
