Now it's going to be more difficult because I want more survivability while keeping up DPS. I think a good Stormshield would help as well as a better belt and weapon. I guess I could also try out another build but I sort of want to farm and find at least one good item: I earned all my money from buying and selling on AH. >_<

I'm thinking of trying that since I'm dual wielding with a mighty weapon main hand. I'd need a fury spender for that also, and Hammer of the Ancients seems like a solid pick. Small update on this, I was unable to keep WotB up with the build I mentioned above(It was up for almost twice as long though). I had to take battle rage in order to sustain it. | ||

There are many factors to consider such as gear/positioning/control, but, yes, it is possible. I am usually to kill an elite pack about the time my WotB lasts bar a few special affix/mob types which it might take an extra 30-60 seconds. | ||

my gear + Show Spoiler + gear pic link stats and skills (stats are unbuffed and at 0 fury) + Show Spoiler + stats/skills pic link crappy stuff, i know, but most of it was farmed by my dh and a few pieces were found on the barb (nothing from ah so far). My budget is low (a few hundred k gold), and i want to keep it for repairs mostly till i can get several million again. Can I get some feedback on what needs improving asap (thinking )? posted links to the pictures if images aren't working | ||

But that's okay. I suggest you stick to Act1 for now, and farm a few millions. As for the first pieces to replace; the chest piece and the vit ring are your weakest items, followed by your bracers and gloves. Pants, weapon and boots are okay for now. 1) Chest armor: look for one with high vit, life%, and a bit of strength. Don't need all res there. If you can't get life%, then just try to get a lot of str and vit. 2) Ring: try to get one with 60-70 str or vit, crit damage, and some other beneficial stat (dmg (i.e. 9-22+ dmg, life%, a resistance..) 3) Bracers: yours have high str, but rest is lackluster. Poison resistance is pretty useless. Try to get one with 60 all res, either str or vit, and 4% crit chance. 4) Gloves: should be able to get a better pair for not that much. Try to get some with all res, either str or vit (if you got str on bracers, then get vit on gloves to balance), and 7%+ crit chance. General tip: always look for free affixes on your items. You usually don't have to pay extra for +fire resistance, for instance. So, say you're looking for some bracers; on top of the 60 all res, if you can get +30 physical/fire/arcane, that's great (those 3 are the most important resistances for a barb). And spread those out; you'll end up with an extra 50+ all res for totally free. | ||

It has saved me so many times I can't even count them. I'd say a minimum of 7-14 total. | ||

Need help in determining what pieces to upgrade first and what stats to get. I've been getting all resist/vit/strength and my resist isn't as high as I'd like cause I was sacrificing some for more vit. Willing to spend all 7 mill, if it's possible to upgrade all gear, or specific gears if I don't have enough gold. Here's my equip/stats. http://i.imgur.com/YrVAS.jpg | ||

I'm stuck in inferno act 3 after beating ghom and can't really get past the bridge right after it as I die pretty fast. Been farming act 2 without finding any gosu items, but finally managed to sell a ring for 7 mill, so now have some money to spend. I've never had a ton of money and most I've had at one time was 2 million, and my most expensive item is my weapon for 1.85 mill. Majority of equip bought for <100k each.

Thanks, I'll look into those. I actually thought my gloves were one of my better items. | ||

I've beaten Diablo inferno with the following stats ~ 600 all res (buffed) 65k hp 8k dps 6k armor (buffed) 300 loh on a 800 dps weapon +13k hp on health globes In fact, when i hitted the inferno brick wall with my barb, i rerolled dh and had no real problem to storm through inferno until i met Diablo. After 4 hrs of try, i gave up. Much later, a barbarian friend of mine told me that my stats were more than sufficient to beat Diablo. I've done it on my first try and felt no real difficulty: the fight is just long (~ 25-30 mn) and you just need to stay focus. Build | ||

start by choosing the soulstone chamber or kill belial quests in act 2 (if you can kill either of them quickly if not just choose either one it doesnt matter) waypoint to the sewers of caldium and kill the first elite pack that usually spawns pretty close to the portal next waypoint to the black canyon mines and quickly do a circle a bit above the portal to see if there are any close elites then walk south to the top area of the howling plateu where you can usually find one if not just curse your luck and tp home next you want to waypoint to the road to alcarnus here you want to quickly look around for a goblin (dont kill it yet) then walk east to alcarnus where you will find at least one but usually 2 elite groups (down go up the stairs if you only find one none spawn up there) once youre done either wallk back and kill the goblin or tp home next you will waypoint to the ancient path where you can occasionally find a goblin and or an elite pack. keep walking north into the desolate sands and check for the ancient device. then you want to search the sands for the vault of the assassin (one of the places with kulle's blood) its a random spawn but it seems to usually be somewhere around the top left inside is a ton of elites in a relatively small area so you will be able to make plenty of money to get you into act3 after farming it a bit also if you can kill kulle or belial quickly go ahead and do so after but i personally dont bother hope it helps! | ||
