* About Barmanu at Legendary difficulty:
- He is famous by his Blizzard attack, lots of Cold dmg and Physical dmg. His Blizzard's base Cold dmg at max lvl is 3081-3620, while base Physical dmg is 722.25-891. At Legendary, Barmanu get the buff that +100%Cold dmg (same with many other dmg types, except physical dmg). And there are 15 projectiles each Blizzard cast, crazy, huh ^,...,^
- With the gears builds i show here, characters no need to worry about Physical dmg, its focus to survial Barmanu's Blizzard's Cold dmg.

* Strategy:
- Run to middle of Barmanus, active Scroll, taken hits from them to they killed themselves, you can eat Health potion when your health start drop down by Barmanu's Blizzard for stably safer. If all or lots of Barmanus don't die after Artifact's grant skill runs out duration, change to other Marduk's Tablet of Destity to use its grant skill to protect against Barmanus' Blizzard's dmg.
- With lots of Barmanu in M4ssboss3s custom map, using all sources Less dmg from Beastmen + max cold dmg, +25%cold dmg absorption from Prostasia rings + 100%less dmg from Beasmen of Sigil of Bast artifact is not enough to survival, so i use this gears build for stable farming.
- You can lure and takes 1/2 number of Barmanus's Blizzard dmg then do with the rest for more safe if you don't have fast finger to eath HP potions when your health start drop down, or with "bad luck" that many Blizzard's projectiles lands on you.
- Dex and Int base characters hard to equip the Persephone's Caress axe that give you lots of health regen, so more %CtAP is recomment to helps your chars' health don't drop too fast (your char can die before Shield of Destiy skill activated sometime if all Barmanu using Blizzard on you with your "bad luck".
