[1.FB9] The 30 pala barbarian

The 30-pala Barbarian
by blizku



INTRODUCTION
This is a summoner barb that uses the defender spirit.
30+ spirits using paladin skill retaliate all at once.
The idea is to have spirit walk with no spell timer and teleport all the time while your spirits use retaliate stunning,spreading slow, dealing damage and knocking back the enemys.

6-Mercenaries
All mercenaries are great for this barb, but i'm posting why you should use everyone based into skills + items.
The Sisters
They are fragile because we keep teleing all the time and monsters seems to aim even with all minions around...
Items:
Weapon:Hand of Karcheus Long Battle Bow(Sacred)(Frezze everyone), Demonstorm Hunter's Bow(Sacred)(Great proc that Pwn everything)
Armor:Candlewalk Splint Mail(Sacred)-Best option for this barb>>Chance to cast Hymn(Life on Striking) and 31-40% chance to reanimate as Iced Soul(Cold skills). Iced Souls + Daystars + Snake stance = 3 elemental damage, with Death fury's totem the damage increases and pwn everything.
Helm:Witchhunter's Hood Cap(Set/Sacred)- Resists + stats
Ranger:Cascade spread slow very easily just like war spirit, rangers also have Vanquish curse that increases physical damage.Also Broadside PWN everything.
Priestess:Blood tide totem increase all your party life, Vindicate(curse) helps you healing all your life.Tremor PWN everything.
The Town Guards
They survive and kill everything, in my opinion the best mercenaries.
Items:
Weapon:Emberstorm short spear(Sacred)(Cataclysm proc is really great), Raindance Javelin(Sacred)(SoR proc), Ashenwind Glaive(Sacred)(the slow in this weapon is really great, however our snake stance is much better, use it if you dont have smaxed snake stance)
Armor:Again Candlewalk Splint Mail (Sacred), it's just too good.
Helm:Witchhunter's Hood Cap(Set/Sacred)- Resists + stats
Exemplar:Another guy using retaliate ! also have disintegrate that kill everything!
Shapshifter(This is what i use!):Werebear helps merc surviving, bloodlust buff all your minions(WOW!),Claw tornado+Pounce+Thorn Field spread slow to all enemys!!!!!
Fighter Mage:Glacial nova freezes enemys and time field slow enemys.
The Iron Wolves
Casters with elementals skills , they help killing physical immunes
Items:
Weapon +Shield: I'm thinking about it but look for spell damage and - enemy resists
Armor:CandleWalk.... again!!!!
Helm: Witchhunter's hood... again!! to help surviving--- or helms with spell dmg to help killing enemys.
Bloodmage:Fire +Poison skills , gift of inner fire heals everyone in seconds.
Necrolyte:Cold + Poison skills, charm for crowd control and Hex(Curse effect: damage and spell damage boost when victim hits you ............ OMG! retaliates works afters "victims" hit minions this is a great curse)
Abjurer:Lightning + Singularity skills, banish reduces monsters life by a percentage.
The Barbarians
Tank enemys for you with great combat skills + gift of the wild(increases damage of all party)
Items:
Weapon:Feltongue Great Sword (Sacred)(Fire Cannonnade really Pwn), 'Rha' runeword for necrobots reanimates.
Armor:Candlewalk splint mail sacred
Helm: Witchhunter's hood cap(set/sacred)

Topnec wrote:
it can be done quite easier. go to the left room, summon edyrems and barbs everywhere in there, go to upper corner in the room, summon, run out of the room. akarats wont cast hammertime at all, because they are surrounded by enemies. they seem to cast it only when the target is some yards away.

Ghosts of Old Bremmtown:Medium. Actually it's easy but sometimes ghosts hits you and not your spirits, use eagle stance when dragon is close and try to have at least 1xDeath's fury totem up to help your minions killing speed.
Kingdom of Shadow:Hard. Spirit walk in punishment torrents and use adrenaline potions for jitan's gate.
Duncraig:Medium/Hard. Dont rush into big packs, teleport areas are harder so spirit walk all the time.

Heroic Bosses
Belial:IDK havent tryed yet

Hello people. Some users in the forum request 1 summoner barbarian guide.
I can do 1, but in my hard drive I rescue 1 great guide of Blizku. However is for F9b, so you can figure wich it's a bit outdated ith certain items like Candlwake(slow target is now slow melee target). This guide was a bit nerfed in Omega/2012 series (no 50%slow in Snake Stance) but in Ultimative Marco return that stance at his old state, so this char can revive of his ashes in a new(and agro) environment...
I test that build time ago, and I can say wich is an solid build, but Shamanic Trance isn't the overpowered skill of the old times(minion can't go over the cap), and Ultimative isn't friendly with Summoner builds(See Kabraxis uberquest, Crysaor, etc), so my opinion about how powerful/weak is taht build is relative. Test for your self.

Cheers and any coment is wellcomed.

for the huge buff of each unique bosses this build will exp a very hard time all 3 summons have a low damage output even defenders

but thats what mxlu is: extreme

dont even go kabraxis just see destruction baal u computer is on its way to crash!

and median is median u can go all kind build u want any time any where wanna summonbarb go fully craft probably there will be chances to win. i am trying a thrower summon right now(the 1st ancient)see if that on death proc helps

there was a chinese who think he is a pro named himself "motorbike cant knock me down"(real translation word by word) made an omega protector summoner proc barb depends on a lot of gear/skill switch and super end game gear up to 1000%(probably nerfed now)spell damage.

i will see if i can translet that into English........its kinda hard cause in china they give each item a chinese name which most of them are really ridiculous pretty hard to find out what the fuck they are talking about

gave you a cookie.

I think marco change this build gameplay drastically with melee guardian spirit. They no longer spam stampede i think, except on death.

There are probably a lot of new good summoner bias SSSU, but need to check the documentation again.

I'm hoping,with Sigma,most builds can conquer practically any Uber. Just using brain and not relying on God gear that's needed to be farmed by another character. Can't wait for Sigma.

Yeah..btw, I've other summoner barbarian guide, of the old guides, also writed by Blizku, or that I think.... Is the Headless druid barbarian(miniguide of the old miniguides trhead, also I've Pipendrusu guides for the interest of a few users), 1 sumoner build using Protector spiirit smaxed for his bloddlust efect, and Larzuk Contraption SSU barb helm.....and 1 Rw, etc...I can upload it...I've many old guides in my hard drive, only some details of the char wich you're looking for, and I can search for it...

Sorry for the double post, but Summoner barb set is really cool....If only it has the +2 skills when using an apple perma efect...

BTW, can old apples of 2012 (heal recovery rate duration rate=10 mins) return to the game????

Also, if that set gives 2 spells, Why not give STR factor??? I've understand which the intention for that set is make the barb 1 battle mage, so this set need(ALL SET NEED) BE UPDATED.

also I've Pipendrusu guides for the interest of a few users

hahaha ! nailed it! xd

also, for the sake of grammar
*I've got
*which

XD Thanks Marco, my english is pretty basic... I remember those old times when pipen upload his guides...XD....The discusion(fight/flame war) make laugh for many minutes, XD...

Pipster = Page upon page of flame wars.
