Even my crappy 2h barb can take some hits in act 3. I think barbs with more tank gear can just buy a 2h and start destroying everything much faster while tanking everything just fine. I'm also contemplating whether I want to spend money to gear my DH or barb more now..

Inferno is too easy now and being forced to hunt elites is totally boring.

Wait don't 2-handers have low atk speed? I thought they were only effective with ias gear. How does this work?

depends on the build. a lot of people just cheesed 2h using 2M cooldowns, specifically EQ. If you blow WoTB then EQ it doubles its damage. EQ only cares about weapon damage, so a big slow 2H was ideal.

I think if you were one of the few trying to legit run 2h spec while having proper armor, resist etc., attack speed was likely important.


I'm going to be doing a lot of testing when I get home... :E

Hi guys!

My stats and items before 1.0.3: http://i47.tinypic.com/34j4qqq.jpg (this is before War Cry and Berserker Rage, my dps in combat is 36k)


Due to ias nerf, I'm going to lose ~18% dps, loh and fury generation. Do you think I'll still be able to play Act III?

I can easily regain dps via crit chance/damage, but at that point (1.50as or even worse if I change weapon) I fear that loh will be useless...

Considering mobs do like 30-40% less damage, if you weren't dying horribly before it would be a cakewalk now.

There's a barb guide on here, where he states that LoH is a luxury stat and not one that is essential. It might be good for the budget barb, the overall guide.

i read that guide and (if i didnt miss it) not a single word about life leech.

im running a 850 dps 150str/150vit weapon currently resulting in 18k dps with 8000 armor, 40k life, 1000-1100 all resistances (with shout) highest tier 20% block shield. not that bad i think, but no, i can definately not tank act 3 inferno elites. revange just doesnt bring enough life back from all the dmg i'm taking.

so my guess: guide is wrong, either loh or ll is essential.

you're having problems post patch? Seems odd. Also your armor is kind of low for having so much resist. Either way, I'd assume you could do act3 post-patch.

Not sure of the exact number but it's significant. I can even tank a bit in MF gear.

small tip for anyone leveling a barb/releveling in hardcore

at about 45/46 if you have ~1k dps and decent other stats you can level off the first boss in act4 over and over. using WotB(insanity) + earthquake you can drop him in 3-4 seconds. i just leveled from 49-50 in 12 minutes, roughly 500k xp


second tip for people wanting to farm act1 in mf gear post patch.

spec

frenzy side arm
war cry impunity
WotB insanity
earthquake the mountains call
leap iron impact
revenge provocation

aka standard

SECRET SUPER TIP (probably kinda obvious) furious charge merciless assault.

for trash, spam charge over and over, the 1 second knock up allows you to charge forever basically taking no damage. even in a terrible gimp suit with maxed MF you can kill pretty much any act1 trash with 0 risk. when you find an elite pack simple blow your cds and melt them in 10 seconds. obviously faster with better gear but you can get through a butcher run with crap tank stats, better weapon really helps though.

this bit. change weapon, drop the vit for a gem socket. buy blackthornes medal, recieve cake. before i sold all my gear my barb had 12k armor. dont undervalue strength, increasing your dps and armor is godly.

ye this is retardo if true. my complaints about act2/3 were always that other classes had it too easy, not that my barb was having too hard a time. if i can get gear to complete this game (while being a complete casual) in 2 weeks then what else am i supposed to do?

oh ye thats right play hardcore, sell gear on rmah ;D

seems that tank spec or 2h with heavy, heavy survival gear is still the only way to go. No beat ass mode just yet. With that, I'm done with this game. I can't keep convincing myself to play just because I loved diablo2 so much and am a fanboy of the diablo series. Eventually reality sets in that this game is just not as good as it should be and there are too many fundamental dynamics that just aren't fun or I just don't agree with. I have to wakeup at somepoint remove the nostalgia glasses and see the game for what it really is.

Back to dota2, if they ever make this game fun, I'll be back. Toodles. <3

Didn't test Rakanoth but Siegebreaker and Izual can now be tanked quite easily. On top of the across the board ~33% damage reduction those two bosses have received additional 33% or so damage reductions (combined 60-70%) so they're now pretty much "hold down left click until dead' type encounters. It's a bit boring now but that's a considerable improvement over 'can only stand in melee range when ignore pain is active' type encounters. This is with pretty much the same skills/equipment that I used before, 40% block, 11k armor, 1100 physical resist, 27% melee damage reduction, 8% elite damage reduction.

It's pretty much possible to facetank anything now. With 1100 resists and 1200 loh I can just stand there and spam my cooldowns and my life never really goes down. At the same time I feel like the IAS nerf has taken the fun out of the more offensive builds, especially 2h. All in all it feels quite boring now. Maybe the damage nerf brought by the patch has made new, funnier solutions possible, such as gearing for crit and going back to using fury spenders... who knows. But after completing inferno with pre-patch monster damage and pre-patch IAS the game feels a bit dull now. I'm probably going give a try to hardcore see if it brings the fun factor back, or shelve the game until the xpac. Anyway, barb was a blast to play, happy I picked that class.

the 2-hand build is basically only wait for 2-min cooldowns on WotB and EQ right? Giving up a shield is a hard thing to do, unless this patch totally lets us tank easily without the block chance?
