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:
