I am not sure what I should upgrade next. I was thinking about upgrading one of my weaps or rings, but I am not sure what to look for at this point.

This is my bro in law's barbarian. It's a Rend build.

He's struggling above mp5.

What should he improve on? His unbuffed dmg is 70k I believe.

I am not sure what your budget is but here are my following recommendations:

It is posible. GIven the status of your current gear, i would recommend swapping out your amulet for one with avg dmg, 100+ str, 7%+ crit chance, 60%+ crit dmg. This will boost your dps signficantly. Also, consider not using that hellfire ring. TO make up for all res lost on ammy swap, get a ring with crit chance + all res + avg dmg. if you can afford it, also try to get some attack speed. Otther than that, you just gotta work on slowly upgrading your other pieces.



Thank you for the advice. I have some follow up questions!

1. I've had attack speed in the past and didn't notice any different in frequency of damage with sprint or whirl wind. Does this only modify primary attack [ bash / cleave.. etc ]? I've read people arguing both sides on this.

2. I haven't seen many other ww barbs using a shield, what sort of damage output do you think I should expect? Do you think it's not a worth while venture and I should just go double weapons?

Thanks again!

What should I upgrade next for most damage boost?

Was thinking of buying a high str mempho 9attackspeed & 11-12% life and an IK belt with high str 180+ with vit or % life what you think?
Have like ~50M atm


[QUOTEYour current weakest slots are your jewelry. I would recommend buying an amulet or rings with the gold you have instead of getting the mempo or IK belt. You can get a cheap iK belt for the lifesteal bu tthen upgrade your jewelry.

Hope that helps all! Look forward to helping the next round of people! I play on americas server so hopefully get some of my fellow amercas server players too!][/QUOTE]

What stats should i look for rings & amu?[/QUOTE]

In rings and amulets you should priortize stats in following order if your looking for dps:

crit chance -> avg dmg -> attack speed -> crit dmg

And offcourse include str. If you can, get the all res but not required.

[QUOTE=rage400,Oct 26 2012 12:44pm]I was thinking of spending around 120 mil on some new weapons

I think its a good idea cause I got around 550 all res, and I was just wondering if you thought that was a smart choice?[/QUOTE]

That is one option. You cud def get a decent MH/OH combo with mainstat on mainhand and lifesteal on OH. Utility wise, this would probably be the best choice. However, I would also consider upgrading your ring and ammy. They are probably your weakest pieces of gear atm. Your ammy has only 6% crit chance and one of your other rings has none. U could easily up your crit chance by like 6-8% by upgrading those 2 slots and also up your dps by including some avg/dmg stats on them along with either crit dmg or ASI. Either or is fine, just look for the deals that come up and dont pass them by!

[QUOTE=jinngo,Oct 26 2012 12:45pm]What do you think about mf for barbs, and can you give me your point of views on the babas viable specs, would be really awesome and would help me out a TON :-)!!!

could be like specs weakness and strengths^^[/QUOTE]

I personally ran max mf for a very long time but honestly, given the current game and how MP works, its best to get your paragorn lvl up rather than doing an MF spec. Because the higher paragorn u are, the more stats and mf u get automatically. I am currently 91 paragorn so almost at max mf without any mf gear. I would focus on lvling ur barba and just upping the MP to get some mf in there. I would definitely pick up a few pieces for mf. Easiest place to get some is on your ammy which can go up to 40 along with some mf on your pants since you can go with blackthornes which is very good.

With regards to specs, you basically got a couple of main routes to go right now:

1) ww/nado - IMO this spec is great if you can afford it. But low tier ww/nado barbs realy arent as affective anymore with all the nerfs to this class. However, if you got the bank, this is still Best in the business in terms of farm efficiency.
2) Weapon throw - This class has A TON of DPS output but best of all, its actualyl really fun to play and also may prove to be pvp efficient down the road.
3) Rend barb - This is actually a really great class of barb and requires you to weild a 2h weapon. The DPS output is Massive but i dont like it as much cus of the fury problems u run into and also, unless u have the gold to stack that ASI, its a real drain
4) Frenzy Barb - This class is the highest single target dps output u can get. Top barbs can crit for like millions of dmg. But its not efficient right now for farming and lags way behind rend and ww/nado classes. But its really good for destroying ubers




[QUOTE=Blodulf,Oct 26 2012 12:47pm]Here's my barb: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Blodulf-1574/

Now, I got problems keeping up wotb for more than ~60 seconds. Sooner or later I just run out of steam. I play HC so downgrading survivability a lot isn't an option, if I lose the shield I lose the ability to go for higher MP's than 2 safely. My goal is to be able to farm xp efficiently and I don't really want to go higher than MP 3 or 4. I got virtually unlimited funds, the main problem is the HC AH. What should I aim for to increase efficiency and wotb uptime though?[/QUOTE]

If u running shield and board barb, i mean you not really looking for perma wrath spec. That applies moreso to ww/nado barb. Im not too familiar with the HC AH market cus i dont play HC myself but if u have unlimited funds, theres so many spots that you can upgrade on your gear!

Nice thread, appreciate the effort :)

http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Xele-1282/hero/19394841

I have 70m godl for upgrades.
I was thinking about 3 options:
1. Radiant Star Rubies x8 when they drop to 5m each (i am on EU, different prices)
2. Mempo without cc (around 60-70m)
3. Wait and buy more gooldy items piece by piece.

Thanks in advance :)

Hello, I would like some suggestions on my WW Barb. Im new to the WW barb, I usually play a Monk.
I got a 80m budget atm, what should I get?
What Should I aim for?
Im gonna get a hellfire signet with +str asap and I need more vitality and %-life.

Armory: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Kenjin-2368/hero/10830010

Should I get a dagger OH with str, socket and LS? Might be too pricey with +CD aswell. How much dps can I go down on the OH?
