A small tip for my Barbarian brothers:
- Pound of Flesh gives great healing, both during the adds phases and the final phase.
- After phase 2 you have some time to switch skills. I switched my Revenge for Sprint (with extra dodge) in order to more easily dodge his fist attacks.

Hey guys, I have about a million to spend and I'm not sure if I should save it for high end stuff or if I should buy some right now, because I can barely do anything in act 2...

So far, I've heard about SoE and kymbo, but I alraedy have a decent blue ammy with 200 loh, and teh SoE are like 400k minimum on ah and they dont feel like an upgrade really...

I've been looking at bulkathos rings and they look pretty neat.

SoE and allres/vit/str gear, for starters I'd invest in first the SoE(currently 12% belts can be had for under 500k) and with the rest of the money some 700+ LoH weapon or 500 with socket

Are LoH weapons really that goddam cheap on EU? 700+ LoH goes for tens of millions on US...

Depends on DPS naturally but you can find good deals on them .-. I guess I shouldn't recommend stuff you need to camp the AH for hours though

Like currently you can get some 500 dps weapons witht aht kind of LoH which imo is enough and probably better than higher DPS weapon with tiny LoH but

So the new thing is 4 man spider -> azmodan. I've run it about god.. 20-40 times so far this weekend with a group of friends. You get like 20-30 rares per run (overall as a group) and it only takes between 15-35 minutes (depending in champs you roll). It's pretty enjoyable too, as the map is easy to distinguish with not a lot of wasted time.

I already made 12M doing this (with more to sell on AH, stupid 10 limit) my other friends have all made the same or more. Not to mention the upgrades we've found.

This obviously isn't something that most barbs can do yet, but to those of you with nice gear on these boards give it a shot. I know I was hesitant to play with other people because I figured if solo is hard 4 player is suicide. Turns out, it's easily doable with gear and it's way more fun to play with friends.

I found the most efficient build to be barb/monk + 2 dps, preferably 1 DH. Our best runs were barb/monk/dh/wiz but I think a WD could be good as well for the mage. Both the barb and monk spec 'tank' and the synergy barb/monk have really increases the survivability of both quite well.

Just tested it myself. It does not.

Is SoE really that good? I mean, if I do buy a 12% one, I will lose 100 STR, thousands of HP and resist.Really?

Well it's kind of a hidden stat and tough to measure .-.

I just acquired about 4mil (lucky set drop) and was wondering what big pick up should i do. I am thinking the string of ears would definitely be worth it but my shield is pretty lacking also. I have about 700dps 1h, about 700 resist in all and only 300 life on hit. I think SoE might be the best but i'm debating on a shield or even ring

Edit: I'm only in act 1 and still getting beat in Act 2. Have 39k life, 8kdps

It depends on your gear? Rings can be really really expensive so not really worth it until your other pieces are at least "good".

My gear is just focused on vit/resist. They have all been upgraded to atleast vit/resist but i feel thats not enough and i'm still getting hurt. I was looking to pick up a best in slot item. Already have kymbos which is great. I wanted a storm shield but those are a bit to expensive for a good roll

Honestly I don't know why you hating on SS prices when SoE prices are far worse.

Are prices going up or is it just me? A lot of the great items I got can't be upgraded without spending 10x the money now. I know some of my items I got REALLY luckily by checking AH a lot but still..

Maybe the DH/Wiz nerfs + nerf to purple MF on aspect runs?
