Hope you find your answer by the more experienced players! I really appreciate that. It's nice from time to time to see someone wanting help from strangers actually go out of their way and put in a bit of effort themselves! But I wanted to compliment you on your post, so detailed a'd structured. I'm sorry I can't help you as I am a Median noob. Then in battle, spam Fortress while switching back to Bear Stance, and kill with Deathgaze. Maybe Summoning or Iron Spiral? A different stance? I also have a level 65 Sin More viable? I summon 7 wolves and buff Thundergod. Am I better off going into something else for the end game?
Any insight or guidance on what I may be missing would be greatly appreciated. I keep dying next to my friend who is a Zon and he ends up carrying me every time.
I've tried respecing multiple times to go 'Glass Cannon' or crazy defense oriented to no avail.
Unfortunately, regardless of how much research and math that I am doing for my level Deathgaze Barb, I find myself getting smacked into next year in Duncraig, The Library of Fate, and other to areas.
