The Worst "S-Tier" Build [2.5 MF Berserk Barbarian Build]
The Berserker Barbarian can be a fairly fun B-tier build for going through the game, with a proper shield and gear - though it often gets rates as an S-Tier build for magic find due to its unique/champion hunting abilities - and the ability to essentially get 1.5x the drops by "Horking" (Find Item) - though due to its limitations on farming, I have never liked that almost every site and guide shows this as "S-Tier" (it's godly for farming pindle/alvl85 uniques/superuniques - but anything else and it's entirely out of its depths, unlike other S-tier builds)
Vengeance and Conversion are sadly underutilized skills in Diablo 2, for how interesting they are - but there's a reason why, they just can't quite match up with the simpler, and sadly more efficient, skills available elsewhere in the tree.

To round out the barbarian skills - we finally complete the warcry tree with the offensive warcries: Battle Cry, Warcry, and Taunt. Each with their own specific useful trait for controlling the battlefield.

Diablo 2 Versus is a series where we test equipment against alternatives. All unlisted Equipment remains the same between runs. Have a pairing you want to see? Mention it in the comments, along with the archetype you're wanting to see it on.
As requested: We're demonstrating Players 1 vs Players 8, the equipment used is the Grief Zealot from Previous #d2versus shorts.
* = this modifier does not apply to all enemy abilities, but is a modifier provided by the /players command in modern versions of Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction. (Classic non-expansion Diablo 2 and older versions, do not have this)

Most people ignore them, but there's a lot of exploitable features of assassin finishing moves - especially considering they are auto-hit while you have charges up (so you can get some pretty fun effects).

Fear is an odd bit of ai tech in Diablo 2 that doesn't get used a ton sadly, but can be really solid in niche cases - and is actually one of the secrets to speed on the pitzerker for farming uniques/sets at the high end.

Soul Survivors is a pixel graphics styled Bullet Heaven - where you send out masses of attacks against swarms of enemies, rather than having to dodge bullets, you dodge bodies. Soul Survivors sets itself apart with a distinct class system, how does this hold up in practice? let's find out.

The Paladin is often known as the king of auras, but the Druid, as the jack of all trades, can bring some competitive aura options to the table as well with Oak Sage, Heart of the Wolverine, and Spirit of Barbs - though the question becomes - are these squishy aura sources worth it, or is resummoning them more trouble than it's worth?

Diablo 2 Versus is a series where we compare builds and equipment. Have a pairing you want to see? Mention it in the comments, along with the archetype you're wanting to see it on.
Note, since it's a common misunderstanding:
These are comparisons of 'reasonably similarly equipped' characters. (Only "Near Best In Slot" not "Pinnacle" for reasons explained below)
In the case of "Build with X weapon" vs "Build with Y Weapon" they are identically equipped. With equipment geared towards demonstrating the weapon in question - so we limit things such as Crushing Blow/Critical Strike/etc. from off-weapon sources to below 25%, as this can cause some weapons to appear weaker/stronger than they are. (there will be build videos that cover more detailed "equipment combination options" for that type of need). This is kept this way for Class A vs Class B so you can translate comparisons across the shorts (ie - "Bone Spirit Necro vs Grief Zealot" will let you see how that necro compares to the Lawbringer Zealot as well, even if you just watch the Necro v Zealot video and Lawbringer v Grief Zealot video)

The Windhammer and Destruction Chance to Cast Druid builds have had a fun undercurrent for patch 2.7 - so today, we'll take a look at both of them (since they are item dependent - figured I'd give you a 2 for 1 due to the lack of low level options) - though I prefer a different weapon rather than windhammer.
