@markilbaldacchino - I started farming A3 with my 20k DPS (unbuffed) barb with 1600 LoH, 1k @res (buffed warc) and ~9k armor (buffed) and was still better than farming A2,
High LL is easy to achieve. High LL with enough damage to make it work - not so low budget.
I built my barb w/ ~6m at the time.
After 1.0.5 a good barb will probably take you ~40m to be able to farm efficiently A3 MP3-4. This is with current item prices, which will inevitably fall down since there will be more powerful items found found in MP6+.
blue post on bnet said that mp1 = all monsters become ilvl63 dropable. So goin anything beyond that is really no point (unless you wanna just have better chances of a rare or legendary to drop over a white. and anything above mp1 wont affect affix since everything can spawn with ilvl63 mods after mp1 difficulty.
but good findings to op for testin out his budget barb.
i guess mine will live. and i even went the extra way of buyin some cheap ass 2k gold mighty weap with str + socket and life steal LOL cause i was worried about fury generation.
now im just worried on how bad armor will get dropped for monks with the STI nerf...cause i dump all my findings onto my monk and keep the barb meh LOL.
