Lawbringer

Runeword

Lawbringer is a runeword that grants the user access to the sanctuary aura. The excellent thing about this for a hellforge frenzy barb is that it has a knockback aura affect on undead. This enables the barb to traverse places like the Arcane Sanctuary with relative safety without the need for teleport charges.

The runeword isn't terribly expensive as it only requires Amn+Lem+Ko. Other areas it helps are:
All durance of hate levels
All Act II Tombs
Flayer Dungeon
Chaos Sanctuary

All of these areas have a substantial number of undead that can slow you down. The sanctuary aura will knockback all undead every 2-3 seconds allowing you to by pass them easily using leap. This includes the dreaded stagnant dolls. Glooms will still get a shot off though.

More on items in later posts.

Note: To be able to make Lawbringer you must either be playing on Ladder or using the Runeword Mod.

Frenzy Barbarian Facts

1.Attack speed is calculated by 3 main factors:
*The averaging of the base weapon speeds
*Only 1 on-weapon speed is used
*Off-weapon speed modifiers
2. Weapon range only counts for the primary weapon
3. Primary Weapons always swing first
4. The graphic for the primary weapon always appears in the barbarians right hand in-game view.
5. The Primary weapon is 'always' the weapon that is equipped first
6. Whenever you switch weapons the primary weapon gets reset. The new primary weapon is the weapon slot on the left hand side of the inventory page.
7. Try to keep any 'Chance to Casts' (ctc's) off weapon so both swings get the chance to activate it. Like crushing blow.
8. Deadly Strike and Critical Strike do not accumulate. If you have both then they will be calculated separately unless CS succeeds since CS is calculated first.
9. Crushing Blow is affected by any monster physical resistances. Since most enemies in hell have 50% damage reduction its a good idea to get something that reduces this. Although negative physical resistances will not increase CB past its base effectiveness.
10. Critical Strike is added at the very end of all damage calculations.
11. CB is not actually physical damage so Iron Maiden will not work against it.
12. In the case of the berserk skill, CS is applied prior to changing a % of damage to magic.
13. Double swing is a mana free skill at level 9, useful against mana burn monsters.
14. Berserk will save you against Iron Maiden, however you can't life leech with it.
15. If you plan on using lawbringers ctc decrepify then a holy freeze merc's slowing effect will stack to bring the monster speed down further.
16. Ghostly monsters have 80% physical resistance, stone skin mean +50% physical resistance.
17. Sanctuary aura ignores any posititve physical resistance or immunity of undead, this is applied after decrepify and amplify damage.
18. Only the provider of the santuary aura benefits from the negative physical resists to undead. I don't know why they call it an aura but that's how it works.
19. Sanctuary aura always reduces undead physical resistances to exactly 0% regardless.
20. Sanctuary does not ignore positive physical resistance or immunity of undead for CB.
21. The 'Plague Bearers' (zombies) in the Lost City (Act 2) have magic immunity making them immune to the pulse damage coming from the sanctuary aura.
