EPTThe Blood Clan Warriors can be kited and will stop their enrage after 8 seconds or so. I'll usually run around picking off the spearmen that often show up at the same time while I wait for the enrage to stop.

With 950 resists, the Colossal Gorgors (left one) hits me for 11-13k per "clap" which cannot be avoided. I have 55k hp and I can't tank a normal version of it before it kills me. The Blood Clan Warriors (right one) occasionally enrages which gives them a ~9k knockback attack that slows me and is also unavoidable. What the fuck am I supposed to do against them when they come in packs of 7+ like they usually do? If there is a pack of them you can always blow up your cooldowns on them. Now overall i would say always use leap with iron impact - you jump on them and you are pretty much invulnerable for 4 seconds. Also frenzy with lightning stun is a good choice because you just stun them and they can't attack you. (i am talking about 1v1 here) | ||

Seemed like an extremely simple solution but aparently barbs don't think about running away. You just run and if there's alternate cycled enrages, you can "bait" their attacks, they get "stuck" in the ground and let youdps the others for a few seconds before they charge their next attack. Think dark berserkers. Gorgors: You have to dodge the side double charged up swing, and then go in with the normal hits, you want to run before he starts doing the clap stuff and reset it. they are pretty slow. | ||

I think Iskatu is doable if you have gear that is good enough for A2, but not good enough for A4. My gear is bad A2 gear and I can get him down to about 25%. Hence, you have a chance of getting, for example, high-DPS blues from Iskatu that you can sell for decent money. | ||

A lucky Warden/Butcher run will probably roll you a bit higher than Iskatu runs because you'll roll a good rare. The thing is, Iskatu is more consistent, because non-rares and weapon rares from Warden/Butcher are almost always unsellable. With Warden/Butcher, you're basically trying to win the lottery, while Iskatu guarantees a certain reasonable level of income. You get more ok-ish items to sell from Iskatu and even if they don't sell, the vast majority of items that drop from Iskatu are req. level 60, which means they salvage to Exquisite Essences. Coupled with the fact that it's just faster overall (you can kill Iskatu once a minute and there's pretty much no overhead time, whereas doing normal runs you do a lot of running around trying to find stacks/navigate unexplored level layouts), and I think the overall income is better than other options in the A2/A3 gap. A2 Goblin/A3 Resplendent Chest were probably better with MF gear, but both of those have been nerfed. | ||

All of those would still be totally out of question for me though, as it would be way too monotonous. I am still playing a game here, not going to work. Cant even do more than 2 warden butcher runs in a row. After that I will farm somewhere else, Belial for example. | ||

EDIT: I hate how A2 is so much easier for my Wizard whom I've spent a total of 800k on, and who is still wearing lvl 50 trash blues than my Barb, that I've spent 10 times as much gold on. | ||

I still like playing my Barb way more (feels way more rewarding to progress+much more group-friendly), but it's just depressing watching myself breeze through content that I was bashing my head against over and over again on my Barb, with significantly worse gear. If I had similar gear quality on my Wizard to what my Barb has, I could be absolutely stomping A3. | ||

Im at 800-900 AR, 14k dps, 52k hp, 28% block (with sacred shield and the helm of command),1000 LOH 1.4 attacks per second (I think), 10k armor, 17% SoE. All the stats are with buffs included. I think the stats are rather good, but perhaps i just suck ^^ I run with frenzy - sidearm, charge with dreadnought, wotb - insanity, ignore pain 7s, revenge - provocation and warcry - impunity... This post's goal is not just to whine, but to get a few tips incase I've missed some in this thread. | ||

I can't do mcuh with my barb in A3 with twice the gold investmennt my wizard has while I can pretty much clear everything with my wizard. I was bored yesterday though so I used my wizard that has already cleared Diablo to try Diablo Inferno with my Barb. She went down easier than with my wizard :p | ||

I mean, I hit the A3 wall pretty hard too and was considering rerolling a Wiz myself, but it just ain't as fun kiting around as it is jumping in and destroying stuff. Needless to say I sticked with my barb, and I'm now happily farming siegebreaker in 20 min runs. It'd pain me to see you give up. If you could post your stats and gear, maybe I could give you some advice? | ||

I also just haven't had as much time to put into the necessary farm for the past week because I've been moving. Realistically I'd have broken the A3 gap by now if I'd actually put in the time. | ||
