I think a bit of health globe pick up radius (I was using +12) is needed to do it consistently as it's the primary source of your healing. I've got Revenge in the build but I hardly use it anyway, so Leap with Iron Impact or Battle Rage should be better in that slot. For gear, I've been using 10k dps @1.4 aspd, 9500 armor, 850 resists, 50k hp, 22% melee damage reduction, 20% block on a ilvl 62 shield (2800-3700 block amount): (screen shot is with War Cry and Enchantress buffs) + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/3UBZo.jpg) For technique, I've been cleaving the minions until Iskatu shows up, then WotB -> Ignore Pain -> Earthquake (in that order, EQ is much less resposive / has a longer animation). Iskatu dies 1-2 seconds after Ignore Pain runs out and I don't move even to get out of Desecration. Updating this to say that I dropped resists from 850 to 700 to swap in 200 more strength while switching Revenge for Battle Rage. This increased my damage enough so that Iskatu usually dies during Ignore Pain, which is probably safer overall. On what drops to look for, you're mainly looking for high Gold Find, Magic Find, and All Resist gear with the occasional 900+ dps weapon you can sell. 'Glass cannon' gear with very high Dex, Int, or Attack Speed also sells. The rest of the gear either gets salvaged (level 60 drops with lower vendor price, say under 750 gold) or sold (everything under level 60 or under 59 for rings/amulets/follower items). This is a 'quantity over quality' farm style so underprice your items on the AH to move them quickly. | ||

Similiar, but there's always good deals if you search the AH like every 10min while playing | ||

NEVER buy weapons. Every weapon I've used has been found by me, sure it takes luck but the state of the inflation for weapons at the minute is ridiculous, much better to just spend that money on multiple pieces of good gear. | ||

Only level 55, but I just bought a 420 dps polearm with +life on hit, str, socket and I think something useless like int (well +100 int gives some resistances right?) for... 3000 gold. So sometimes you can get damn good deals out there.  | ||

Wut? You can buy a 8 DPS weapon for like, 100k nowadays, you call that inflation? | ||

Well I'm talking in regards to high weapons, my current weapon is a 1h with nearly 1k dps so any upgrades for me have to be > 1k and the inflation is ridiculous, of course 800 and lower is cheaper, I usually just vendor or salvage anything around 850 or lower although recently I've been saving them up and giving them to viewers.

That's actually been my staple Fury move through NM and Hell, to great success (especially against molten and arcane monsters and any other special packs that I personally can't engage head on with melee attacks). At level 56 and halfway through Hell, they tank and kill a lot of stuff very well, and then I'll just Charge or Leap around, dealing damage as best I can without really engaging directly. The two-minute cooldown is kind of brutal, so I'll usually use the rune that extends the ancients' lifespans. Thoughts? | ||

salvaging can make some money since the inferno mats are worth a little bit, but usually i just npc/ah them anyway | ||

Also, when killing mobs in act1 inferno, is it possible out of sheer luck to get endgame gear (i.e. act4 inferno)? Or will it only ever give gear ranging from act4 hell to act2 inferno? | ||

A couple days ago I managed to complete act II inferno skipping just a couple of elites. My stats are a bit weird, when I killed Belial (5 NV stacks and 0 good drops) I had less than 400 resist before War Cry, but relatively high dps for a one-hander (22k, 28k with berserker rage). I'm also very confident in Iskatu runs, due to my weapon with +3k life on kill and high dps (70k with WotB), though I find this mindless farming too boring. :/ I die 1 out of 10 times, mainly when I have bad luck with revenge. My build: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/barbarian#WVYkRP!ceV!acacZZ A couple question for you: 1) I love Frenzy, but I'm beginning to question if it's the most efficient way to pump fury up to 100 for berserker rage... I mean, the slow start is atrocious. Someone's playing with Bash? Which rune do you suggest? 2) act III is scary! Is there any "safe" place for 5NV stacks in act II? Some quest before Maghda maybe? | ||

So far, I've been following what the top barbs have been doing. You know, sword and board, revenge spam... the extremely boring playstyle. It was getting reaaaaaaaaally dull for me. I had 8.9k DPS and my only damage was wotb and revenge. Other than that, I was just a shout bot. So yesterday, I spent my 2m on a 1200 dps 2h with 250 vit and a sick chest piece. My DPS went up to 20k unbuffed, 24 with battle rage. I changed my spec for massive crit (I have near 30) with seismic slam, and I am having the best time in diablo so far. It doesn't even compare. The elites just melt. 85k dps with wotb made me smile... I'm just gonna keep stacking vit, aspd, resists and str and I should be able to solo act 2 pretty easily. | ||

I may have to try something similar when I can farm the gold tho I think I'd want to try it with dw 1hs with high dps and loh. Maybe thats not viable yet but I havent seen anyone try and just a few weeks ago ppl would have said 2h inferno wasnt viable either. | ||
