Basically in Inferno Act 3, try to reach:
Life: 45k +
Damage: 30k + for Sword/Shield, 50k + for dw
All resist: 700+
Armour: 7k + for dw, 9k + for Shield
cc: 45% for sword/shield build, 35% for dw since you lost 10% in shield.
cd: 250% + for Shield build, for dw, try get more like 400% +, offense equals defense.
LoH: 800 for Shield, 1500 for dw. Can be lower if you have better damage. Kripp is using only 1100 LoH as his damage is 80k unbuff
also if you can get 700ar in gears alone, you can substitude out Warcry for Overpower with Crushing Advance., it is cheaper way to survive in Inferno. If you want to tank those molten/Plague by pure resist and armour alone, afraid you have to get more than 1200+ ar, which is technically very insanely gears. Rather, source for cheaper gears with like only 50+ar, you can take on Inferno in a breeze if you change Warcry into Overpower.
Items:
In order to survive better in Act 3, some guidelines (Act 4 may not be enough, unless you get higher res gears, else may need to party with others to clear game):
1) Helm: nn HoC unless it is affordable. Helm to look out for are - 70+str & 70+vit (basically a 150 stats helm, not particular focus on str or vit so long you get 150 stats) 50+ ar/4cc/1os with Star Amentyst or better
2) Shoulder: 200+ str & 50+ vit (basically a 250 stats item. Try focus on a high str on this piece like 200+, and some vit to fill the 250 stats) / 50+ ar
3) Bracers: 150+ str & 50+ vit (basically a 200 stats item. Try focus more on str here like 150+, and some vit to fill the 200 stats) /50+ ar/4.0+ cc
4) Gloves: 50+str & 50+vit (basically a 100+ stats item, not particular focus on str or vit so long you get 100 stats) /50+ ar/30cd/6.0+ cc
5) Shield: 20blk/50ar/50vit or 50str (vit or str doesn't matter so long it is a 50 stats shield) /+8%life or above/8.0+ cc/50+ ar Sacred Shield
6) Boots: Sage's Seekers with 50str & 150vit (or 150str/50vit, as long as you get 200 stats for these pair of boots) /50+ ar/12%mvt spd
7) Belt: 150+ str & 50+ vit (basically a 200 stats item. Try focus more on str here like 150+, and some vit to fill the 200 stats) /50+ ar
8) Pants: 75+ str & 275+ vit (basically a 350 stats item, be it achievable using open sockets with Gems, or a plain rare) /50+ ar
9) Chest: 400 stats item/50+ ar. If you can get a total of 400 worth of str + vit, be it with the help an os piece with Gems, is entirely up to you, you work with what your Auction house can provide you, and see what pieces you left. Last piece to upgrade, depend on your gears above, if you barb lacks str, this will be your Str armour, if you barb lacks vit, this will be your vit armour
Rings, amulet, and Weapon is entirely on your current wealth and avalability on the Auction House. Basically, your end build try aim for 30k damage, usually achievable with 250+ cd; 45% cc (unbuff, only Ruthless alone); your final stats to achieve on your barb would be 800+ LoH; 1500+ str; 1200+ vit; 800ar.
You can look for a sword with 150+ cd (os with Radiant Star Emerald, auto spawn of 50% cd mod on weapon itself) /200+ str weapon with Amulet/Rings, that these 3 items together provides 150+ cd and 800+ Loh and 12%+ cc and 150ar entirely up to you descretion, or
a sword with 100 cd (os with Radiant Star Emerald) /700LoH/200str with Amulet/Rings that gives 30cd on Rings, 50cd on Amulet cum 50ar on each Jewllery cum 4.0cc on each piece. This combo would also gives you 210+ cd and 700+ Loh and 12%+ cc and 150ar
You would achieve 55k + life, 30k + dps (unbuff), 800+ ar (unbuff), 800+ LoH, 45+ % cc, 250+ % cd, 20% block chance
30k dps unbuff is good enough to solo Act 3. Ofc the more the merrier, if you can get 40k dps unbuff with shield, the better.
Of course pls dun find a weapon with low damage to begin with, if not, even with 1700str/340cd/50cc will not even provide you with 30k dps. Weapon would be around 400-900 range at least
Skills:
Primary: Bash with Instigate/Onslaught (Please do not use Frenzy, it is too slow to generate Fury)
Secondary: ww with Hurricane
Sprint with Run Like the Wind
Overpower with Crushing Advance
Battle Rage with Into the Fray
WotB with Thrive on Chaos.
Those ww build using Insanity Rune for WotB have have raw 100k damage unbuff. If you cannot afford such godly gears yet, then use Thrive on Chaos for the moment.
