Thanks for the advice. Got to Diablo tonight and downed him on the first try. It did take 10+ minutes though, even with a loh weapon.

Skill build doesn't seem to matter too much, I used the same setup I had used to clear trash.
Izual actually gave me more trouble than Diablo did. Izual can charge -> swing for an instant 25-30k damage which was rather dangerous with 47k max health. Izual's auto-attack swings come faster than Diablo's and hit roughly 2.5 times as hard so I could only be in melee range of Izual while I had a defensive cooldown active (in my case, just Leap with Iron Impact).
Overall a bit anti-climactic since if you can handle Act 3 trash you can handle Diablo too. I skipped about 1 out of every 3 elite packs while I cleared all of Act 3 and 4 because they were far too difficult. Seems the only special requirement for Diablo would be life on hit to speed up the kill process because there's very few health globes to pick up in the fight.

Okay my bad, I haven't killed anything noteworthy in Act 2 yet 
(I get stupid by grinding vases all day long).

His Vit seems fine, given that he has a whopping +46% max life. Resists are definitely on the low side though. I agree that he doesn't need LoH, but honestly, % melee reduction starts to compare very favorably to resists at his current resist value (at 600 resist all, 15% melee reduction gives equivalent EHP vs. melee as 160 resist all--good luck finding +160 all resist belts instead of a 15% String of Ears). Other sources of % melee reduction are pretty mediocre, but mathematically, String of Ears is not overrated in the slightest, given how much equivalent resist 15-20% melee reduction is worth after 500+ resists.
At 900 resist all, 20% melee reduction gives equivalent EHP vs. melee as +300 resist all, which is an astronomically high amount of survivability to get from a single piece of armor.
A weapon upgrade might be in order as well, TBH. 7800 DPS is on the low side for someone who has 1100+ Strength.

so for someone with these buffed stats, should i take 40 mins to clear siegebreaker 5 stacks, or annihilate act 2?
~1k res all
~10.1k armor
~10.1k dps
50k hp
38% block
in a2, i can literally stand in fire and shit...but siegebreaker takes anywhere from 40mins - 1 hr, and a lot of it is dying next to a rare pack and having tyreal kill them. which is 100% not fun at all. or should i farm gobbo's on my DH?

Yeah the weapon is only ~500 dps. But weapons with LoH are so damn expensive it's stupid. Not to mention most that have higher dps have stupid low LoH and no socket so that I could possibly gem it for more LoH. Most of my gear has 40+ AR on it. I thought those pieces were good when I bought them all. I dunno. I'll look into better weap/socket gear when I get enough money from going back to warden/butcher. Sigh.

just drop like 100k on an 800+ dps socketed weapon and slot in a purple gem
should be fine for act 2, especially if you already have a kymbos

Is LoH worth it for a slow 2h weapon or should I be shooting for something else? I was thinking about shoving an emerald in my hammer, for bigger crits.

You can't do that on EU I think.. 100K gets you nothing on the AH.

good thing 2H gear is ridiculously cheap.. already up to 60k dps and I think I've spent ~2.5M (1.9M just on the helm). Sure, I don't have BIS by any means (like some of my tank gear) but I haven't had to sell off any of my 'precious' tanking gear to fund the switch.
Pretty neat, excited to try when I get home from work.

I hope you guys can help me. Im level 60, inferno act 2. I still feel the common demon packs can give me more trouble then whats it worth. (elites are also bit too hard)
I hope you can perhaps guide me into being a better barb. What to aim for on AH etc. I know all resist, armor and vit are good. But should I try to spend millions on LoH? Perhaps more on a Block chance shield, instead of resis and armor? I dunno.

About Ruby vs Amethyst in my weapon:
my question is: dont all skills, e.g. revenge, profit from "weapon damage"? i wonder what is meant by weapon damage, i rly have no idea.
Thats why i put a ruby in to maximize my revenge damage and therefore my revenge heal.
About life on hit: is it rly that good?
especially in a3, im running / kiting more than im acutally in their face fighting. Hits with revenge, overpower or seimsmic slam (which im currently using) dont profit from life on hit - do they?
offtopic: i need a fucking stormshield :D

bad str to vita ratio - replace 200 STR with 200 VITA and youre better off.
also, you need a lot more resistances and armor. like - even if those stats were unbuffed, youd still need slightly more resis - and i guess those are buffed^^
wouldnt spend much on LoH right now - even though some ppl say its essential (im against that btw), with a limited amount of money you should obviously focus on res/armor/vita

No, 1:1 ratio is good, don't replace 200 str with 200 vit, that's awful. 47k hp is enough, and trading str for more vit won't benefit you at all. However, you are right in that he needs more resists/armor. I'm wondering if that screenshot is when using both armor passives/warcry/enchantress (you can't be with that amount of str/vit).

Thanks for the answer. Nope, the stats arent buffed in any way. I dont use the War cry. I will edit the OP so you guys can see my skill build.
So, throw out 200 str, and more vit. What about the shield? Should I aim for more block chance or?
I actually agree with the more vit thing. I've always felt I can do more dmg with a better 1 hand later on. str is like a bonus for me if I find high res vit gear.

Yes, the ratio is good. And you have almost 600 all resist unbuffed without using warcry? Start using warcry with impunity (I'd also recommend swapping out earthquake for revenge with provocation and possibly wotb for charge with dreadnought), get a good shield and you'll faceroll through act 2.
For shields, disregard all stats and look for sacred shields (3,7k-4,7k block amount) with 27%+ block chance. That'll be a ton better than your current one, even if you lose some stats.

1-1 ratio is good in case you reached the right amount of vit. in his case, id at least focus purely on vit now instead of str till hes at 1.4k vit or sth. for someone who killed diablo, 1-1 ratio might be optimal, but if he has problems to survive stuff, vit is much more important right now.
but ye, armor/res is the key. thats why u NEED warcry. barb without warcry is like a solo wizard without diamond skin^^

I got the whole earthquake build from a guy on youtube. I think he has some videos posted in this thread. First, battle rage, then wrath of the bersker, then the +2000% earthquake, to stack alot of dmg vs the elite packs.
So, I use revenge in order to gain more health in battle?

Mostly I play with my DH brother. bad str to vita ratio - replace 200 STR with 200 VITA and youre better off. also, you need a lot more resistances and armor. like - even if those stats were unbuffed, youd still need slightly more resis - and i guess those are buffed^^ wouldnt spend much on LoH right now - even though some ppl say its essential (im against that btw), with a limited amount of money you should obviously focus on res/armor/vita No, 1:1 ratio is good, don't replace 200 str with 200 vit, that's awful. 47k hp is enough, and trading str for more vit won't benefit you at all. However, you are right in that he needs more resists/armor. I'm wondering if that screenshot is when using both armor passives/warcry/enchantress (you can't be with that amount of str/vit). 1-1 ratio is good in case you reached the right amount of vit. in his case, id at least focus purely on vit now instead of str till hes at 1.4k vit or sth. for someone who killed diablo, 1-1 ratio might be optimal, but if he has problems to survive stuff, vit is much more important right now. but ye, armor/res is the key. thats why u NEED warcry. barb without warcry is like a solo wizard without diamond skin^^
No offense, but you're talking pure bullshit. Tell me, how far into inferno are you? You don't need 1,4k vitality, HP is not the key to surviving. Armor, resists and good block% and block amount are. 47k hp is enough, although getting above 50k wouldn't hurt, but to do that I would much rather find some +life% as that would scale a lot better with the amount of vit he has as relative to his life% (the more vit you have the better life% becomes and the more life% you have the better vit becomes, they scale with each other, that's common sense).
I would even go as far and claim it is better to have 200 more str than vit, cause you usually have a decent amount of life% to give you the amount of HP you need with slightly less vitality. DPS is far more important than what people give it credit for.

I got the whole earthquake build from a guy on youtube. I think he has some videos posted in this thread. First, battle rage, then wrath of the bersker, then the +2000% earthquake, to stack alot of dmg vs the elite packs.
So, I use revenge in order to gain more health in battle?
WOTB/EQ build is a sort-of gimmicky build that works best with 2 handers, and is most of the time used on farm content to kill off elites super quickly. It is not a good build in general.
In your current build you have absolutely no way of regaining health (except for ignore pain which is a 4% life steal for 5 seconds every 30). You need revenge and also preferably furious charge. Especially since you also dont have any life on hit.
