Gear

The main part of this Barb build is the Fleshripper, this is a really overpowered dagger and you can get this at a cheap price. It offers up to 300% enhanced damage, 45% chance of crushing blow, 33% deadly strike, and 60% chance of open wounds. When we're using a frenzy barbarian, we are combining two of those together for an insane crushing blow and deadly strike. When you combine these two together with Highlord’s and Guillaume's Face, you have 98% deadly strike, so this is a really overpowered build that is going to be able to do Uber Tristram really easy on this build. In addition, make sure you have at least one Shael rune for this build, and when you're playing a melee character, check your attack speeds and try to get the fastest amount of attack speed that you can get. Guillaume's Face is the most overpowered melee character helmet in the game and it's very cheap, you're probably going to be using this as an end-game helmet for any melee character. Highlord’s Wrath is probably one of the most used amulets in Diablo 2 for any melee character and Fortitude is a very overpowered melee character armor. For the charms, you could just get anything that increases your damage, such as max damage charms, resistance charms, and war cry skill charms for the barbarian. The rest equipment used is as below. 

- Weapon: Fleshripper (Ber Rune socketed) and Fleshripper (Shael Rune socketed)

- Amulet: Highlord’s Wrath

- Helm: Guillaume's Face 

- Armor: Fortitude

- Rings: Ravenfrost, Bul-Kathos

- Gloves: Laying of Hands

- Boots: Gorerider

- Belt: String of Ears 

Mercenary Equipment

This D2R 2.4 Barbarian build uses the new Act 5 mercenary that uses frenzy, it should be able to dual wield two-handed weapons just like a barbarian could. Vile Husk is another good option if you can use two-handers on the Act 5 mercenary. For the armor, we are going to use the Treachery, which is really good for increased attack speed and it also has the fade that is going to increase the resistance on your mercenary. Treachery is an overpowered armor to have on all types of characters. For the helmet, we have Crown of Ages with the D2R rune Ber, you can just go anything that has life stolen per hit. 

- Act 5 Frenzy Mercenary

- Weapon: Dual Wield - Lawbringer (Phase Blade) 

- Armor: Treachery (Archon Plate)

- Helm: Crown of Ages (Corona)
