Many people are still making big mistakes in building barbs so thought I would throw this together to help people out

I will show different budget levels of gear and what you should strive to achieve from your gear



**Witching hour is not good to use unless on a very high budget, as you will need a high dps, socket, crit dmg, 2.8+lifesteal MACE and those are very EXPENSIVE, IK belt is the way to go**

**Keep in mind how much IAS you need to hit the 2.5 APS breakpoint, with a .23 echoing fury you need 3*9% ias items and one 8%ias item (35% total)**

**If using 2*rare weapons Ideally you should use axe mainhand with dagger offhand, and you will need 31% ias from gear to hit 2.22/2.5 breakpoints**

**You want 24% movespeed either through INNAS+LACUNI, or LACUNI+IK BOOTS**



Helmet:

Only choice in my opinion here is a mempo, if you are rich get crit chance, if not, get either armor/physical res/ fire res/or vita as second roll ideally **KEEP IN MIND HOW MUCH IAS YOU NEED FOR BREAKPOINT**

Amulet :

7.5+ CC (Personally wouldnt go lower then 7.5 cc) , 50+ CHD, 100+str, those are the main things, average damage is awesome to get and if planning on doing higher mps try to get 100+vita here as well (DO NOT GET IAS ON AMULET ON A BUDGET)

Bracers :

Lacunis are the only way to go here, really try to get some crit chance ones if you can, if not, str/vita with +single resistance like fire or physical is a nice add **KEEP IN MIND HOW MUCH IAS YOU NEED FOR BREAKPOINT**

Shoulders :

200+str, 50+vita, armor, 60+all res. You can get these quite cheap these days, even with +physical res or fire resistance also. Rares are cheaper then Vile wards in general

Armor :

Either IK armor or similar rare (with +armor roll) if using rare make sure you have 2 set IK from boots+belt

Pants :

Innas or rare pants with 150+vita (Pants can get up to 300 vita so make sure they have high vita) / 120+str / ARMOR / 60+resists / 2 sockets or similar **If you go Innas pants you will want 50-60+resist all on your gloves or ring** **On a tight budget rare pants are the way to go**

Mainhand:

rare mace, 100+str, 950+dps, socket, crit dmg or close to that (DO NOT GET IAS ON IT)

if on an exteme budget (not using echoing fury) you want to use a AXE mainhand with same stats as above

Offhand:

*Very important this is MINIMUM +.23 attacks/second* **With a .23 you need 35% IAS from gear, a .24 you need 34%, a .25 you need 33%**

Echoing fury, on a budget get one without a socket and 80+ base crit, on a higher budget you can get socket and crit damage, DPS doesnt matter here, 750dps is even fine

if on an extreme budget you want to use axe as mainhand, and a DAGGER as offhand (or sword with IAS) and it should have str, socket, crit dmg with lifesteal or life on hit ideally

Gloves :

7.5+CC (dont suggest going lower), 8%+ IAS (keep in mind how much ias you need to hit breakpoint) and 20%+ CHD, also get at least 50+str here, on a higher budget get vita or all resist depending on Pants/boots combo

Belt :

IK belt, get at least 50+vita on it and decent STR

Ring:

on a budget, 4+CC (no lower), 8%+ ias (keep in mind the IAS breakpoint), get at least 50+str, and average dmg is huge here, on a higher budget get some vita/all res as well (depending on pants/boots combo)

If you are using innas pants, you can drop IAS here for CHD, and you will need 50-60+ all res on it or on your gloves

Ring 2:

COLD DMG SOJ, highest elites % you can afford, it being a barb SOJ does NOT matter, so if you are on a budget get one for any class

Boots:

Either Ice climbers with 170+str/50+vita or IK boots (IK boots if using rare pants, Climbers if using INNAS) on a tight budget IK boots are the way to go along with rare pants

Since it is pretty easy to hit it, helps with fury regen, keeping WOTB up, and is also a nice DPS boost

shit guide.
EF in OH is shit.
why would you want axe is MH with dagger OH? you want the hardest hitting weapon in MH which is usually a mace.

Holy troll, please attempt to explain what is better and why, ill have a good laugh, reported for spam

you would use Axe/Dagger since they sync well to hit 2.22/2.5 APS breakpoints, axe with 2.22 is better then 2.0 aps with mace.

please, try to know what you are talking about before trying to tussle with the big guys, stay small

100% of people would listen to me over you, sorry bro :)

Solid guide, covers all the bases.

(Suggestion: Freeze chance on the IK belt, helps enormously with ubers.)

Leet barbar with a good guide :P definitely knows what hes talking about. ^^

I came across a youtube vid of a WW, HOTA,Rend barb smashing mp10... quit easily, but abandoning alot of trash mobs.
And alot asked... no regen skill? and from the looks of it... not really needed cause of Into the Fray rune with Rage (15 per Crit Hit)... but keeping it up was a art in it's self, such a juggling act IMO.
My question to you is, is this feasible in your opinion to mid / higher common builds? (300m-ish builds) or is this something near impossible to accomplish.

Thanks in advanced!

no regen as in regen life? or regen fury? into the fray is enough if you have high crit chance you can keep fury up full 100%

HOTA is possible on that budget, you just need to know how to gear.. personally dont like mixing WW with HOTA


/e Fury regen skills, like bash, fury, cleave... he uses WW/HOTA/REND all in one.
