currently i have a 238mf barb that is act3 capable. however, for some reasons, he has a very low shown dps.
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/jayleo-6312/hero/19872277can u recommend which parts should i improve to further improve my dps?
sometimes i encounter elites that are just too tough to kill, e.g. shielding/invulnerable/arcane elites. n i just skip them. is there a way to counter them? if not, what part of my gears should i upgrade?
the offhand decreases ur (shown) dps a lot, also on ww
might want to have a weapon with 700+ dps with about the same stats
other than that, damn thats a sexy mf barb

what i noticed is that u dont have any other loh than ur weapon, i also have loh from amu/ring, that might help a lot
on invulnerables i always just go wotb since thats the fastest way to get past them ( with insanity they go down quickly with 129k dps )
other than that no real suggestions except the usual " u can upgrade every of ur gear part with better stats " but that will be hard to find with so much mf

so i have my barb pretty much to the T with the skills and stats...
im having a hard time in act 3....
my resist unbuffed are around 500
DPS around 23K
vita=40K
LoH=1300
Damage Reduction 60
Armor 4600
Whats going on?
a little more res ( 600ish should do good, im at 550ish and could use a little more )
more dps
i guess 40k is hp not vita, thats fine, 40k is a good value
the loh is fine too, the armor needs an increase ( should be at least 5.5k+, im running on 6.5k i think )

If you do not switch mf, why would you farm act 3 this way?
I quit like 4 weeks ago after 55 full clears of act 3 as pure tank. We used to al switch to get better loot.
2h, full clear.
i hate switching to mf and dying for no reason in the attempt to kill an enemy with zero res and dps and i cant really afford good mf switch gear ( with useful stats i mean )

Question, Will my tornadoes tick more if I'm weidling a shield instead of my sword?
not sure how exactly the mechanism works, but i think even less since u get a boost from dual wielding in attack speed

improve res to 550+ unbuffed
dear god, get more crit chance, 14.5% is just low ( from items ), i would aim for 20++
aside from that i dont really see anything wrong, how do u die on skullcleavers? i whirl too fast past them for them to hit me
