Hey guys

Some of you may have seen my farming videos on youtube, but wondered how much of that was enabled by my gear (stormshield, string of ears, etc). Someone proposed and several people endorsed that I put all of my gear away, take 1 million gold and use that as a budget at the auction house to buy a completely new equipment set. The original challenge was for me to use this gear to complete the route of my first farming video: 5 stacks of valor then warden+butcher. I decided to accept, because I felt that I could show people what to buy and how to go about finding it, and also prove once and for all that you don't need millions in gear to be successful as a barbarian.

When I was done shopping, I felt so good about my set that with it I also completed my act 2 route (5 stacks then Belial), and then my Act 3 route (5 stacks then siegebreaker).

Check it out here:

Also if anyone this this is impossible and wants to triple check that I didn't cheat, the unedited footage is available at www.twitch.tv/zrave

I used my tank barbarian build, which I wrote a guide for here:

Enjoy!

I did not watch it all but this is very impressive! Congrats and good job showing the potential of the class with (much) less than optimal gear!

This, very nice

Nice

Well done bro, it was a good idea to make this.

Post this on the Battle Net Forums, and stop the people from crying, and L2 use the AH properly.
