Given I seem to not find good stuff other than the ocasional great drop for myself (Vile Ward was also a drop) what would you guys encourage me to look out for? http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Usagi-2407/hero/7262165 | ||

Shoulders,chest,pants,and boots stack up lots of strength,vit and all res. Ammy,gloves,and rings get atk speed with cc. get lacuni's for your bracers. get a belt for LS. I would try go for a skorn with LS. Mostly the skorn is going to give u all the CD u need. | ||

Here's my barb, think I'd need to change a lot of my gear to try this? I don't have any IAS as it's always been worthless for revenge spam, but I do have a decent amount of crit I think. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/hunts-1629/hero/13785460 | ||

as for life on hit, I tried getting around 400-500, and honestly I barely noticed a different when running hota. While the proc coefficient is high, healing 500 hp from a 5000 reflect means almost nothing, and neither is healing 500 on top of the 10k+ healed from a crit. vs health link most of the time you can just make sure you are hitting more than one at a time, I feel that the scenarios where loh is useful is so few that its definitely not worth paying for, only pick it up if it comes for free. | ||

Andariels are cheap and that would give a big boost. 100 more strength, 9% ias, and 0.5 more crit. Your main hand is weak too.. I use something almost exactly to that but instead of low str and vit they are both around 240 each. Its also does about 100 more dps. My main hand cost about 120k a month ago so you should be able find an upgrade for really cheap.. | ||

The fury generation, while still can be sufficient, was a lot less than dw, which means it was a lot harder to keep up wotb with a 2h weapon. stacking attack speed can be and should be done with both for the extra fury generation so thats not really an issue. as for life on hit, I tried getting around 400-500, and honestly I barely noticed a different when running hota.

Well, a good Skorn like the one I have gives you a good amount of additional dps and enough life steal to free every other slot. Apart from that, I agree that keeping wotb up is very very hard. I put in overpower (killing spree) in place of wotb since I was using it too rarely to make a difference; I'll give it a try again if I manage to buy a good Mempo with cc and the inevitable Witching Hour (yeah I'm dreaming). The main reason to get a Skorn though is the sinergy with amazing spells like HotA and Rend, so I strongly suggest to buy a good one to whoever likes to switch build every now and then.

I will look for those, I really lost track on andariels, and I think I was looking for way better weapons. | ||

8% ias 10% + fire 30% nova 168 STR 80 VIT 4.5 crit NO socket Feels great with the extra IAS. Wonder if it is affordable to get a IAS IK irons, or where to get more IAS given I have 1 ring with it already, that is within a couple millions budget. | ||

For reference: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/BigG-2621/hero/412709 (new amulet!) the lifesteal is nice, but with dw you can drop a fairly minor chunk of dps to get lifesteal if you really need it. the dps increase isnt that noticeable either, I get less than a 10% dps increase switching to a skorn, and I definitely lose more than 10% dps from not having wotb up most of the time, not having the cc immunity, and also its a lot harder to build up frenzy-maniac stacks for HotA builds. As for synergy with other spells, the only one that skorn works better with than dw is rend, since I dont think that benefits from extra attack speed. For HotA skorn is the exact same as dw, slower hits with higher damage vs dw. my current setup: https://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/INeedLings-1648/hero/3247163 | ||
