EPTwhen I tried 1.05 though, I facerolled MP 3, but on MP 4 I started to get oneshotted frequently, and a lot of times Im dying very quickly even with ignore pain up.

Barb belts on the PTR. I'd like to know if: A) they can now roll with lvl63 amounts of str/vit/AR etc B) they can roll lifesteal higher than 3.0% I infuriatingly can't get on the PTR myself, and it would take someone <5 seconds to check this out, but I can't find the information anywhere online. | ||

Only times I die in current inferno is if I get chain cced or its a high damage elite with shielding + cc. when I tried 1.05 though, I facerolled MP 3, but on MP 4 I started to get oneshotted frequently, and a lot of times Im dying very quickly even with ignore pain up. Sounds like you're surviving current inferno because you basically hulksmash anything before it can hit you. I'd suggest trying to get more health and lifesteal to make you a bit more durable, but it's hard to give proper advice because I can't get on PTR. Why not try a throwing barb? :D You have the stupid crazy damage to make it work really well, hehe. | ||

I guess I should replace the vile ward but damn they are so sexy  ( Any other suggestions?http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Sol-6226/hero/15778362 There's nothing really especially I'd recommend. Overall your barb looks pretty good! Pieces I think look most eligible to replace would be your shoulders, chest + legs. They have all the stats you want, just not really enough of them. Your neck and left ring could probably be replaced with something juicier also, but I don't know what your stats will be like when you have more IK so it's hard to say exactly what to go for. Bear in mind that, with the upcoming LOH nerf due to proc coefficient 60% nerf, you may want to try gaining some lifesteal items to replace the loss. | ||

Could you try searching for: MIGHTY belt Rare (yellow) All Resistance: 71 Lvl62 items can roll a max of 70 All Resistance. Therefore, if you can find ANY rare mighty belts with 71 All Resistance we will know they can now roll at ilvl63 stats  | ||

The IK chest is pretty much the same as mine with more str and AR with a hit to VIT unless you are made of money. Im planning on getting some of that lifesteal from the IK belt which will drop my STR about 100 and maybe a small health loss. I am also patiently waiting for a nice LS offhand to come up on AH but I am not sure how much LOH I should retain for after the patch keeping in mind I plan to have around 5.6-6% LS. As for Mighty belts they will have higher stats, all the class specific gear does. Life Steal does not have an affix level higher than 61 thou which is 2.8-3%, there are only the two-hander LS affixes with a higher amount. Lings- it sounds like you have some pretty sweet healing with lifesteal but your AR and health pool are too low. Your left ring and ammy could do with some vit but prob best to wait for patch for those upgrades. | ||

I'd suggest you start doing some maths! Work out exactly how much lifesteal compares to LOH for you. Then work out how much lifesteal would be comparable to ~50% of your current LOH value (as that's roughly how much healing you will lose). As for Mighty belts they will have higher stats, all the class specific gear does. Life Steal does not have an affix level higher than 61 thou which is 2.8-3%, there are only the two-hander LS affixes with a higher amount. Can you confirm this? A 3% lifesteal cap on belts sounds plausible, but if better stat mighty belts can drop after the patch I'll save my money till then. | ||

The ability for mighty belts to roll at ilvl63 (regardless of a 3% lifesteal cap) is enough for me to wait for the patch before buying. | ||

The question I am asking I guess is how much will I need for the content post patch but that is hard to know at this stage. It is kind of a stupid question to ask till we know more about the level of incoming damage we will be seeing and what level MP we will actually be farming so nvm  I guess the required amount of healing for the WW build is something we best revisit when we get to play the patch more. | ||

My current is 969dps socket 70% cd 110str 100vit It's going to suck losing out on these stats, but since it appears RLTW generate so much of our dmg, I wonder if i should just go for something like 1100dmg+socket and no stats. Any advice? Rough groundrules? | ||

(110 + your strength w/o the weapon + 100) / (your strength w/o the weapon + 100) * 969 dps, a socket and no str on it. for example, if you currently have 1500 strength excluding the mainhand, then your current weapon yields the same damage as one with 1710/1600*969 = 1035 dps. (and a socket.) so yes, a 1100+ one with a socket and no stats would improve your dps. my experience, however, is that weapons with 1050-1100 dps, a socket and a moderate amount of str, say 50-120, are quite underpriced and offer more bang for buck than for example one with 1150 dps and no str. edit: i would also suggest to buy a "high-end" weapon now for the following reason: due to the patch, many people are delaying all buys right now because they think that prices are gonna drop or builds with new gear reqs are gonna emerge. while this might be true for jewelry and armory, it certainly is not for weapons. the difference in base damage between a lvl 60 and a lvl63 weapon is so big that it will never be high-end, even with lvl 63 affixes. therefore, the prices for average or slightly above average weapons will drop, imho the range from 1000-1160 dps, roughly speaking. anything above that will not drop in price or only slightly. but because people are not willing to spend much right now, these weapons will probably be slightly undervalued in the current economy and actually get more expensive after the patch. | ||

some thoughts: - overpower with crushing advance reduces damage taken by 35%, which equals to an increase of ehp of 53.8%. (1/0.65 = 1.5384..) at the same time, warcry with impunity offers an increase of ehp of 44% after the patch. as the effect of overpower can be kept up quite easily during fights, i think that it might be the preferable skill for beefing up. - i have over 50% cc without and over 60% cc with wotb as well as a decent attack speed. still, i was not able to keep up wotb with an axe unless there are at least 3 monsters or 2 which get hit perfectly. i was already using animosity btw. this is particularly troublesome as fights against yellow elites typically end with the boss being left over without minions or trash mobs left. in this situation, wotb runs out quickly. if things stay like that, i wonder if it might even be worth it to replace wotb altogether. has anybody been able to keep up wotb without using either a mighty weapon or 5 piece IK? | ||

It probably works in inferno as well, but you need great gear so as to kill packs decently fast. | ||
