um I run mp 7 or 8 for key runs with skorn hota, takes 10-15min to get 5valor and kill keywarden. for farming you need much much higher dps to go that high in mp for it to be efficent

get an amulet with crit chance. ditch your chest piece and get a yellow one with similar stats and 3 sockets. those 2 upgrades should be pretty cheap.
now i would recommend you to stay on mp0 and use this build: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/barbarian#ahcURQ!YWh!YZaZYZ
its pretty hard to maintain wrath of the berserk at low mp's so i choose rend an some fury gen passives. you will lose some dps but you won't really need them with the low monster health. i got this build from a popular streamer named cdxliv. here is a good vod about this build: http://de.twitch.tv/cdxliv/c/1747935
|
With proper gear this build works like a charm up to mp3-4 and can be arguably better than using WoTB.
You can also try swapping Killing Spree for Momentum, or War Cry: Charge, either one should be enough to keep perma sprint without the need for one of the fury regen passives.

Yeah I've replayed inferno from start to finish on mp1, with much more offensive builds than last year (rend, ww, hota), and it was really fun! Dual wield hota is awesome. Boom boom boom boom boom.
I've got a Tyrael's Might with 15% dmg to demons, could anyone recommend a good run for that? I guess acts 3 & 4 should be the best?

THERE'S AN ACT 4 IN THIS GAME?

heh. I've done a fair bit of act iv since 1.07 was released, mostly 5 stacks to azmodan, then iskatu(sp?) and rakanoth for the plans. Both dropped them fairly regularly. After a few days I bought the plans I didn't already have for I think 50k gold total, lol.

Hey guys, got any suggestions on my gear upgrades? budget is 50m

you wear an andariels with 12% increased fire damage and ask if a crit mempo is the next cheapest upgrade?
upgrades you could get:
- andys with same stats, but 5-7% fire dam. (thats a <1m upgrade...)
- unity with 4% bonus to elites and vita or allres (~ 10-20 mil)
- ik belt with vita on it. with your low base vita and the already rather high amount of life%, it would yield much more hps to have vita instead of life% on it. (~ 10-40 mil, depending on how much vita, if you want a popular skill bonus and also on some bidding luck...)
- a better echoing fury... 1125 dps with no crit is not thaaat great and shouldnt be thaaat costly to replace. (~ 100-150m for one with around 1200dps and a socket and str.)
- on your ik chest, you could get quite some more vita. (one with 150 str and 180 or so vita can be obtained for ~ 90-150m.)
if i were you, i would think about a crit mempo once these upgrades have been bought - not a minute earlier. although i have to admit that im not sure if crit mempo are as excruciatingly expensive on US as they are on EU.  good ones on EU go for something like 400m+....

Thanks, will definitely check that out 
I will probably stick with my old IK belt since I will be picking up a lot more vita through those items (and I still have 70 paragon to go for another chunk more) and I like the frenzy bonus for when I am going HotA.
At first glance through the AH it looks like:
unity will run ~30 mil with vit (+4600 hp but minus2600 dmg)
EF at 1200 will be ~100 mil (+6500 dmg)
Chest will probably also be about 4600 hp at 100 mil
This should leave me with a bit of money to save up for a crit mempo, or should I even consider a mempo without crit as a stepping stone? Sometimes it feels like my AR is low

hmm, maybe you should get a unity with allres instead of vita then. for 30 mil, you can get one with 60 or so allres, which should be a significantly bigger boost to your ehp than 90ish vita. if you can get a noncrit mempo for cheap, it is no bad idea. i personally am, however, no fan of them. the cc you lose will make fury generation a larger issue...
just fyi: 2 days ago, i sniped a unity with 4% bonus to elites, 165 str, 24-49 avg dam and 79 allres (!) for 13m.

The only all res one that wont cause me to lose a ton more dmg only has 18 all res =[
If I drop about 5k more dmg I can pick up more resists though.
EDIT: And I am not too too worried about fury generation since I am at 61.5% with just scoundrel

hi guys, i posted my barb some weeks ago. since then, i was able to get most of the upgrades i had intended back then, here it is:
http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/BlackXistenZ-2929/hero/3406592
my problem now is that i have a budget of about 50-80m and really dont know which item i should upgrade next. ofc, i could dump the pickup radius on the boots or shoulders and get 40-100 more str in exchange. i could also try to craft vit shoulders, hoping for the 260+ str/300 vita roll, but i think it would be very unlikely for any crafted shoulders to beat my current ones. same goes for gloves: the expected amount of gold i had to dump into crafting gloves that beat my current ones would most likely exceed my funds...
the obvious upgrade would be crit lacunis with str, but they are so insanely expensive.... the hellfire ring isnt too great, but i cant replace it before i hit 100, which given my limited time to play will take some more weeks...
in the superlong run, i will want a crit mempo, but thats out of reach atm.
i think the weapons are hard to improve as well, at least with my budget. same goes for belt and helm i guess....
overall, im really puzzled. better ice climbers are probably the next upgrade, but then? any ideas or suggestions?
edit: another idea i just had is to get innas pants with some 50+ str. then, i could replace my lacunis with crafted bracers with 250 str and so on. with 250 str/ 80-120ish vita/40+ allres/5+ cc bracers, this would mean that i trade some vita, armor and res for about 100-150 additional str plus the 1%cc from innas pants... but im not thaaat convinced by this option either tbh.

I'd spent the money on gloves. Should not be too hard to roll an upgrade there with the strength recipe. You basically only need a halfway decent crit chance/attackspeed roll and the randoms + higher base strength should do the trick. Alternatively work your way up to Radiant Star emeralds for a safe upgrade.
Oh and biggest free upgrade would be to replace warcry with overpower/killing spree and instigation with the punish rune.

In general, you can give up a bit of vitality. Hopefully you'll put an amethyst in your helm soon.
As you know, chest/bracers/pants/boots are all linked together by where you choose to put the movement speed in. So I'll just give some generic suggestions below.
For reference, I always used boots/bracers until a couple days ago when I crafted nice dps bracers as you can see in my profile (http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/BigG-2621/hero/412709), so I sold the Lacuni and bought nearly perfect AR Inna's pants. i gave up 8k hp total, but atm I don't care much (played very rarely after lv100).
Anyway I'd be a bit esitant to choose chest/pants since you lose too much potential vitality.
Helm: short-term options with a tradeoff: IK helm with 200+ str, no vit; or IK helm with armor/AR, no vit. Long term: Ik helm with vit and 200+str, Mempo with cc.
Shoulders: relatively easy to replace, you can gain ~50str with no more than 20mil. There is one in AH right now, 250str/72vit/70ar/9%life for 10mil.
Ammy: ok
Chest: If you want to keep Tyrael's Might, the only options I would consider are 250str/70vit (one in free bid auction @6mil right now) or 3 sockets.
Bracers: yeah lacuni with str and cc are expensive, nothing more to say. 
Gloves: hmmm nothing spectacular here, gaining dps is expensive but survivability should be easy. Maybe same stats +AR, or Tasker and Theo with ias/cc. Crafting should be an option as well.
Belt: some more strength.
Rings: well, cd/ias on Unity instead of AR.
Pants: ok
Boots: yeah you can have better ones for 20mil I guess.
Weapons: ok

Hey guys, I'm looking to upgrade my Barb. I haven't played in a little bit, and I'm looking around to try and see how outdated my build is.
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Stefanovich-1900/hero/24032774
I am curious, first and foremost, as to how I should change my build to effectively farm and maximize damage output, and then also, which gear I need to upgrade most.
I don't have a very big bank, so I can't afford any 100 mil amulets or anything, but I am max crafting, so if there are any decent craftables, I could potentially pursue those.

for chars with low gear, the most cost-efficient build is the cookie-cutter sprint/ww build. for that build, you would have to modify some skills/runes:
whirlwind -> hurricane
battle rage -> into the fray
ignora pain should probably be replaced with warcry -> impunity
to the items:
your offhand is quite ok
your mainhand should have more dps. search for a mace or an axe with a socket and 1.1k dps. something like that should be quite cheap.
boots are good.
pants could be better, but are ok for now.
your right ring is quite bad. you should replace it with one that has high str, some average damage and crit chance. ('cc')
maybe a unity with str would be an option. without good additional mods, it wont be worth a lot.
belt is pure trash. get an IK belt with 180+ str. with no particularly good additional stat (like vita or 200+ str), these are quite cheap as well. this is an upgrade with high priority.
gloves: ok for now. by crafting, you could probably get an upgrade rather quickly.
bracers: you need additional 12% movementspeed, and lacuni prowlers are the best option to get that. they also offer attack speed, which is nice. get some lacunis with str, vita and allres or a good single res (physical or fire). without cc, lacunis are quite cheap.
chest armor: quite bad, but ok for now. just look on the auction house for one with 3 sockets, 80+ str, 160+ vita and 50+ allres. some extra armor would also be nice. such a chest armor should be rather cheap as well.
shoulders: ok for now, but crafting could bring an easy upgrade for cheap if you have some luck.
helm: maybe get ik helm with 150+ str instead. with bad stats otherwise, it is a cheap item. together with the ik belt, this yields a juicy 60 to allres.
amu: very bad. crafted amus can be very good and you will find an upgrade within the first 3 or so mil you spend on crafing amus.
an alternative would be to buy a cheap tyraels might with 170+ str and 150+ vita. (pay attention to the bonus to demons and elites - these are nice adds!)
then, you have covered your max movementspeed and can use crafted bracers instead of lacunis. crafted bracers can have 200+ str, vita, allres and cc by only hitting 3 right affixes out of 5 random ones. so the chances of finding an upgrade there are also very high.
keep in mind though that the new craft recipes all require demonic essences with cannot be traded. thus, you need to find all the essences needed for your crafting by yourself.
order of priority: mainhand, then ikbelt, then ik helm, then either tyraels might or lacunis for the movementspeed. then, id start crafting amulets, then shoulders/gloves and maybe bracers.

I see lots and lots of WW barbs, does no one play the throw barb in here? I just started playing again, and even with 101k dmg, I really enjoy the build.
