As for my farming I've either been doing 5 stack NV Seigebreaker (ACT3) or Solo Iskatu (ACT4) runs over and over. Haven't gotten anything lately but gold. Oh I'll also tag alone for Wymshire cloud runs. Basically a couple DH friends of mine solo pony level then we get 4 people in the game with full MF on (at least 220 per person) and pop all the clouds/chests/pinatas etc., it's very, very nice. Do 0 work and get a nice chance at some reward. :D | ||

Frenzy - maniac (hate to rely on the RNG of sidearm TBH) Leap - death from above (interrupt diablo abilities/easy getaway from shadow clones) Ground Stomp - Wrenching Smash (to pull the clones slightly farther away from the squishy people) Sprint - Marathon (I feel like this is such an underrated ability overall mainly because there is no way I can get hit by any mechanics and there is no way that the clones can ever catch up to me) Threatening Shout - Intimidate (I use this after ground stomp on the clones to slow them down. Demoralize is also a good choice) War Cry - Impunity (obvious choice for the resists) Passives I chose the 3 very obvious choices which are Tough as Nails, Superstition, and Nerves of Steel. This is a very specific build that I use for only Diablo and Azmodan (and possibly Belial) On a normal clear I will switch out Ground Stomp for Wrath of the Beserker with Insanity, Sprint for Revenge with Provocation, and Leap for Charge with Dreadnought. When just doing act 1 and 2 I will also switch out Threatening Shout for Earthquake with The Mountain's Call. Hope this helps people. Just as a side note, these builds work best when using a stat priority (loosely based on) Resist All > Vitality > Strength (very general not to be taken strictly). | ||

guess i'll just post stats. if anyone can help to post ss please say so! all res between 530-600 with shout. dps 6.4 k = \ 36 k hp 433 life on hit 72% dmg reduction from armor 13% melee reduction from SoE ![[image loading]](http://imageshack.us/content_round.php?page=done&l=img12/1858/screenshot000fa.jpg) Hi, i've been going over and over and over these forums for a week or two. now i'm in inferno, farming butcher, and am looking at moving towards Act 2. I am wondering how you guys balance your stats effectively while keeping resistances high? what stats do i need to be looking for? what build should i be doing? any feedback is welcomed. i'm getting rofl'd in act 2 by those damn wasps  | ||

stats: 17.5k dps ~70% armor reduction ~450allres (phys bit higher) 51khp ~18% dodge (+14%melee dmg reduction from string) and like evry single elite pack plain ownes me. they get to me and i lose 40k hp in under a second. i can laugh at 99% of what act1 throws at me and can tank the butcher forever(and basicly soloed him in a 3player game cause both buddys died early) but act1 early is damn hard and now its close to impossible. i dont know what to do at this point since 1 slot upgrade costs 1-5mill already and act1 farming is quite stupid with the shitton of level 50 stuff you get. | ||

What skillbuild do you use? And I'm just starting act1 and my resistances are all above 800, maybe you're skimping on those a bit too much? | ||

Lvl53 Frenzy with Stun rune (Or Bash with reverberation if I'm using a 2h) Hammer of the ancients with Stun rune Furious Charge with Lower Cooldown Ground Stomp with Wrenching Smash Warcry with Extra life Wrath of the Berzerker with Insanity Superstition, pound of flesh and whatever else The build has a lot of stuns, easy fury generation, an escape/aoe skill and a really good rage dump. Hammer does a boat load of damage and combined with Wrath I can make some really nice crits. I don't know if it will work in Inferno, we'll see I guess. | ||

It should be either your Resist being low or your build is bad or both. 17.5K dps is quite high for ACT 2 I imagine. I just started ACT 2, up to the Oasis now with 500 resist 39K HP 9.8K DPS(12K at full fury). I can kill elite packs ok now but still have to run from 60% of them 20% I can kill after a few revive and straight up kill the easy 20% . | ||

I got many really good bargains that I sold for more so I actually made profit during that time so I don't really know. Either way I just changed some equips so I don't have everything about 800 anymore but close. My rings, pants, helmet, shield and weapon still need to be improved soon, though. Here's my shouted stats with ench: ![[image loading]](http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/8145/barbstats.png) | ||

I'd actually say your stats are pretty lopsided TBH. You've probably over-pumped resists relative to armor (the balance point is somewhere around having the equal % damage reductions from both). Rather have life on hit than lifesteal also, for reasons already stated in the thread. Judging by your DPS, your weapon is also probably significantly better than what most A1-capable Barbs are comfortable shelling out for. | ||

Judging by your DPS, your weapon is also probably significantly better than what most A1-capable Barbs are comfortable shelling out for. I had 1.5mil with that char and I've actually made 400k more on this one so you can almost consider that I have had no funding, apart from high level gems for faster leveling etc. I prefer lifesteal because that way I can heal like 5k an attack from range against a lot of mobs and I also like how the crit splash from Wrath makes me almost invulnerable when against a huge clump of monsters. It will also scale later on. If I need more armor I can just use some defensive passives, that pumps it up to 8300. I haven't really paid attention to it at all. My weapon is a normal 761.8 DPS axe with 42% crit, last time I checked those were like 50k. They are 15% aspd 59 str rings, 20k each. I told you I need to buy new rings. Well Vitality is going to hopefully come from a couple of the 5 items I told you suck balls x_x Sigh | ||

Here's my shouted stats with ench: you need ARMOR and VITALITY for gods sake. i totally agree with what theyango said and wanna add: you probably use crit / dmg passives as well! AND a 780dmg / crit axe is NOT 50k... but ty guys, i didnt have any "heal on hit" thusfar, have to search for items with it! ty! | ||

most ppl talk about killing bosses with their barbs, when the aim should be to kill and tank groups of elites as good as possible to farm with 5 nephalem. ofc you can use fun builds with sprint and leap to kill diablo in a group, but thats not the point of a barbarian imo oO | ||
