yes with a 5.5+ LS skorn then you should be using a WH

amulet desperately need crit chance, everything else doesnt need upgrading that badly.. up to you

Hey and thanks for your guide!

My barb was based on it and worked quite well. Far from beeing a cookie cutter, but pretty stable (after Paragon lvl 30 for me).
I bought a couple new items today, which raised my stats quite a lot, but still worsened my gameplay.

http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Prinz-2480/hero/31525567

I switched:

IK Belt --> Witching Hour
IK Boots --> Ice Climbers
Bracers 93 str/ 219 vit/ 78@/ 6cc --> Lacunis (may seem stupid, but this allowed me to get higher stats Climbers without MS and my stats are still better)

I used the skills from your guide but switched brawler to unforgiving today, because i'm mostly low on fury with my new build!
Also on life... I thought my Skorns 5.1ll would be sufficient with at least 20% higher dmg... It's not! -.-
What am i doing wrong?! -.-


And why is my SOJ not working?!
Someone, somewhere, in some Barb guide wrote that cold dmg from SOJs stuns enemies. Just for a very short period but again for every rend, nado, ww etc. "tick"...
In fact the monsters turn blue sometimes, but i dont see them beeing stunned or behaving different. Not even with 2 attackspeed breakpoints in between.

Is that just wrong or am i doing it wrong? Or should i get sleep? -.-


Thanks

I solved the SOJ problem!
Well it solved itself...

I was too drunk to realize how well it works... -.-

this build is meant to kill white mobs not elites so SOJ isnt good for it

and dont use shitty hellfires, only use them if you can get one with at least crit chance, you are missing a potential 12% crit chance from rings.. this is why you are having fury problems

and 5.1% should be enough, could be just you arent wwing properly (not getting enough dps out to heal yourself) or you are fighting a lot of reflect damage elites in which case for some 5.1 wont be quite enough which is why i suggest at least 5.5 ls if not 5.7+ls skorn if using WH

It's getting better already but IKs 5 parts bonus will be missed! -.-
Soj works good for me when farming/ keyrunning, but not for its chill effekt.

I'll try other rings! Thanks!

I used to find myself to be fury starved at times when fihgting single elite mob without fury generator.

Until I found that keeping tornados up from Sprint to surround the single mob is very crucial to generate the needed fury.

Follwed this guide made a great barb , does mp10 pretty well only thing im having problems with are the trees and beasts in act 1 any suggestions how to better tank these guys or should i just try and avoid them?

Sometimes getting enough fury for Battle Rage and then again for Sprint takes too long.
You need to get close to the enemy to get fury for Battle Rage and WotB, but you can't get close without, because you'll die...
For me the biggest difficulty regarding ubers!





Keep moving! Trees are difficult even in Berserker mode.

I usually rend the trees from a distance and then move on to other monsters. Depending on mp setting i have to repeat that ofc.
Or i just rend a bigger group of monsters and hit the trees directly. The lifesteel from rend usually keeps me alive then.
This will only work ofc if you have enough life and resists to take a few hits.

Movement is the key to beasts aswell. Less than 5% of their attacks hit me at all...

For ubers, I go with dual wield hota build + fury generator. It's a lot easier, safer and faster.

this, with -4 or -5 hota soj
