Got a offhand with some LoH and it makes ton of difference, also put on a bit more vit at the expense of a little DPS.
I can do MP2 without any troubles now. Also have a bow on AH I thought was worthless for 3 m with 16 hours left, so then I can spend some on upgrades, woho.
Now I'm gonna play around a bit with a off-hand dagger and increased attack speed ring and bracers though ^^.

A friend of mine convinced me to come back to D3, and told me he'd run me through MP10 act 3 to power level me.
Made this guy yesterday, sold everything from my demon hunter and decked him out. Now I'm getting to the point where i'm going to have an income from farming, wondering what to upgrade next.

Thoughts? I really don't want to switch to 2H. Love how this character feels compared to my DH.

Looks pretty good overall. The only thing you "need" is 24% runspeed; I'd recommend a set of Lacuni's instead of your current bracers. Glad you're having fun!

Are there any other builds besides WW/Perma-wrath? I'm using my own brand of Hammer but playing pubs, it seems every barb and their grand mother is WWing around.

HoTA is another build, the reason most barbs are WWing around is because it's the most effective build...Just like for Wizard MP1-4 archon is the most effective farming build. Most people just want to farm / paragon level and the fastest way to do this...on ANY mp level is...WWing around lol. =/ It's not that there aren't other builds they are just far inferior when it comes to effectiveness

Nothing says you have to go 2H lol. Cheapest thing to upgrade would be your gems in your gear..but in my opinion your lacking most in CC you could take a huge upgrade on ur ammy for semi cheap. You would lose some vit but gain dps.

Hi, I have question for all the Skorn user.
How do you keep up with maintaining Fury/WOTB?
It seems impossible to keep up WOTB in ubers and it's proving to be a pain in the neck.
Here is my current set up:
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Iscariot-1538/hero/20922818
I would love to hear some sugguestions... because I think I might be doing something wrong.

not really familiar with any of the new items - almost all of my gear is legacy at this point
haven't really played much since about a month after release (inferno nerf patch)
what should I buy!? p
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/tool-1395/hero/7516300
pretty much looking for item goals, and some budget upgrades.

(this question is for any well-geared ww barbs who are kind enough to answer)
On your normal Alkaizer run, what is your xp/hour? Just do 1 or 2 alkaizer runs, and record your start and end xp and the time taken for the run, then apply math.

your chest armor is unbelievably bad. can be easily upgraded by a lot for 200k gold.
other than that, i would recommend to use 2 onehand weapons on a ww/sprint build, they are just not well-suited for 2handers. get an axe or mace mainhand with a socket and as high dps as possible and a sword or dagger offhand with 750+ LoH, some lifesteal and a socket. some str or cd are a bonus. dont care too much about the dps of your offhand, it only contributes maybe 20% of your overall damage on a ww/sprint build, even though the charscreen damage tells you otherwise.
concerning the rest of your gear, i would get some more crit chance. the higher the crit chance, the less fury issues you have.

I got a lvl 60 barb, and I'm thinking of gearing it up and tuning the skills now. I want to make a pure cc/tank barb. I'm not gonna ever be solo farming with it, so not putting dps into consideration. Its purpose is basically to tank high lvl ubers, or provide cc. Maybe in pvp if cc is really good, this build can be useful. I don't care if it's viable, I'm just having a lot of fun playing this build right now.
For skills, so far I'm really liking ground stomp/wrenching smash, leap/death from above, threatening shout/demoralize, and warcry/impunity. What do you guys think are some other good skills? I just want a ton of cc and not to ever die.
For gear, what kinds of stats should I go for? Since I'm doing a low budget build, I'm thinking of going no crit, and building high attack speed with life on hit. Everything else as much res, armor, and vit as possible.
Suggestions?

weapon throw with the stun rune is awesome
also dont count out life regen on gear. i've got like 500 and its awesome to roll back to full health while just running around

I would love some input on this as well as i have the same problem. I only played a bit around with it though, because i just made a barb because of all the IK gear i found with my mage lol.

Alright, will look for life regen as well. For my primary attack, I'm planning on using smite, so weapon throw may be a bit of an overlap.
How does this skill setup look?

You can upgrade that belt of yours for super cheap...maybe a 200STR/75+AR/ Look for one w/ BASH% increase, you won't see it on paper DPS but a 10% increase in hidden dps is a huge amount for only 20-30m spent.
A new mainhand would do you wonders, esp an Echoing Fury. w/ that amount of money. You can find a fairly good one for around 140-180m. Remember in the WW build...IAS + CC is crucial to reaching those WW breakpoints. So the faster the furyw/ increase attacks per second the better! You seem somewhat lacking on VIT in my opinion... a decent IK chest will run you 90m. You have a lot of ias items but not a lot of CC, CD that's where the true raw damage comes from. Crit chance and crit damage.

need a gear check: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/StratosFEAR-1891/hero/11070811
I can farm mp5 for keys with ease and mp4 for ubers. Anything higher either kills me or takes too long to kill (enrage timers for ZK + siege ubers)
I don't have a lot of gold right now but what would be the cheapest to upgrade slot that i could see the most results with? and if possible what specifically should be in that slot in terms of stats

I won't say it's impossible in general, it's just very situational. I can keep WotB up on MP8+ farming, since killing an elite pack requires one minute or more so I don't mind if WotB expires. On lower MPs, act I and in general low density dungeons, uber bosses etc it's almost impossible to keep WotB up with WW, but it's still very easy with Hammer of the Ancients no matter what your attack speed is (as long as you have high cc). The playstyle is very different as you can imagine, and don't forget that spamming HotA means you have to stand still and that requires s bit more survivability.

As mentioned before...it's kind of hard in lower MP. But for ubers persay or even large packs. I spam Sprint / Battle rage while im WWing a huge pack. Also spamming the two while just bashing also helps tremoundsly to keep up WOTB...Anything under MP4 I can't keep up WoTB effectively either. The trick is to when ur farming not kill every single thing obviously...Leave 4-5 units behind and just keep moving. You should be focusing on weakening the enemies just enough to where ur leaving the tornadoes alone should kill it off as your sprinting away. The way fury works is by managing the fury balance...You need to be regenerating fury while your using/burning it off it if that makes sense, that's how you keep up WoTB. if you already knew this sorry I wasted your time  I was just trying to help

So for all the barb experts. Where do I go from here?
http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Infinity-2447/hero/14149971
Do I need an OH with high dps after 1.05? What do I look for on a MH? Higher str or crit damage? A new ring is my first priority, but what's next? Appreciate any help. Budget is around 100-200 mil.
