I started a barb this new ladder season after getting my sorc to NM. She
was running her normal quests in the same game being used to burn in my new
mules, so it was an opportune time to get Khalim's Will (and Flail on a
separate mule, just for the heck of it), as well as the Hellforge Hammer. I
equipped this 1st level barb with both items, the Will and the Hammer, and
he just plain and simply kicked ass all over the place. I took him straight
out into the foray, not even bothering to quest, just to see how well he
stood up, through the Blood Moor, past the Cold Plains, stopping by the
Burial Grounds to slap Blood Raven, over the Stony Field, through the
Passage, into the Dark Wood, taking down Treehead and his lackeys without
dying (something no sorc of mine has ever done), and on and on. He just
finished Act 1 without any issue whatsoever. He's a killing machine, and
he's naked. I don't even bother with gold on him because he never needs
anything. These are two fine weapons to start with, beating anything else
hands-down. Sure, he will outgrow them soon, but... Wow!
