Hey man, great work on helping other for free!

I would like some advice on my barbarian, i'm switching from monk to barb and now upgrades are starting to get expensive for me, I've been doing mp8 ubers with very little problems, but i want to give my dps (97k unbuffed with enchantress) some extra boost and i dont know what are the best slots for me to change now because most of the items i find on the AH dont seem worth it right now.

I also dont have much problem on keeping my wotb up, on uber fights only place ill lose it is when im soloing kulle.

Here is my profile link : http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/fllash-1148/hero/26515191

Thanks for the advice!

I have been upgrading some and wondering what my next would be? I know the hellfire ring can be better and will be huge dps boost but it's pretty nice for the xp bonus :) any thoughts? Normally i'm gonna have 100-150 M gold to spend :)

Looking for help to know what to upgrade next. I can do mp6 but wanna go higher. I am thinking lacuni's, but an not sure if i want to lose the cc. Can't afford cc lacunis at the moment.
Would love your thoughts.

Having run some tests:
Dust Devil is a nice idea but the ridiculous amount of dds + their random aim make them terribly ineffective. Hurricane INDEED (I refused to believe it ;)) makes rltw spawn more tornados and they add so much fury generation that I can easily swap animosity for bloodthirst.
Thanks a lot for this hint, Bloomtwig :)
I will keep my shield for a while, though, I guess. Reason: I would take another offhand for extra LS to get more survivability while losing  survivability from my shield. It would also need to be a strong (meaning: expensive) offhand to also improve myself damagewise, whereas no one plays with shields and I wouldn't get much for my shield. As you were right about the Hurricane rune, I will  kindly ask a friend to lend me a good offhand so I can really test this out, we'll see.
I will also try to lend a Tyrael to break this mysterious 24% MS BP everyone's talking about :P I will than test if the extra MS is really worth it or if I should rather go for a kickass 150+str 3sock 70 allres armor (Aka "IK armor, most of the time).

Thanks a lot for your help.


I'm glad I could help!

regarding selling that shield, yeah, you would probably not get gold to cover the purchase of a kickass off hand, but it is a nice one so you could probably get something for it. The thing with LS is that it really scales very well. I managed to get my hands on an axe with almost the same DPS and stats as my previous but with LS. That put me at 4*LS (both weapons, belt and bloodthirst) and just that switch (a tiny dps loss!) made it possible for me to farm MP8 easy, whereas I had struggled at MP6 previously. So getting LS is a HUGE boost for survivability! I'd aim at 2pieces+bloodthirst as a MINIMUM for high MP farming! The main reason I'd say, for getting 24% MS is not a matter of spawning more tornados, but it's a matter of moving between two packs without loosing WotB, which I believe you said you had som trouble with. I have never tried Tyrael's, but it looks like it could be a great boost in damage, though getting one with a good off stat/high rolls will probably be very expensive! It could be a good idea to at first try to get a Lacunis, one with crit damage might be too expensive, bu see if you can snipe a pair, or try to get one with one or two decent secondary stats (str/res/vit mainly). It packs a bit of IAS as well so it will help with damage that way. Getting either Lacunis or Tyrael will mean a drop in DPS and/or EHP since lacunis with 70 res, 150 strength and crit chance isn't even possible iirc, and even with just two of those stats it would be pretty expensive.

I'm posting my profile to give you something to compare. It's by no means a perfect build, but I'm quite happy with it and I have solod ubers MP6 with slightly worse gear and I easily farm MP8.. I'm very happy with my off-hand, I don't know what it would be worth now, but I sniped it for like 15m just before patch to prepare for the changes =)

Hi guys, great thread here.

I would love to be advised for upgrading my ww/barb. I'm on a limited budget and would greatly appreciate any advice to improve my character.

Here's my profile : http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Shivven-1141/hero/24242989

I'm having trouble on MP2-3 at times, I think my survivability isn't as good as it should be.

Let me know what you think.  Thanks a bunch!!  :)


Ur dps is a little low for mp 3. U need more dps to make lifesteal and loh more effective. Ur lacking crit chance on key piecs of gear (ammy + helm).

Hello,

looking for some advice..

I with to have more survivability while farming mp3 and mp4.
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Anubis-1398/hero/1692720

MP2 - Hardly any deaths.
MP3 - 0 to 1 deaths per elite pack .
MP4 - 0 to 3 deaths per elite pack.

Which gear (or skill) needs to be changed first? assuming i have 10-30mil for now.

thanks for any help.


Ur using ww with a 2h and barely any ASI which is never recommended, would highly suggest moving to a rend/hota barb.

I feel like my dps is a little bit low and I'm wondering what I should be looking at upgrading next, current budget is only around 40M.
I farm mp4/5 usually and would like to be able to do 6/7

Profile:http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Erebose-1236/hero/16629752

Thanks in advance.


Would recommend getting some new boots. Ur missing about 70+ all res from ur boot sbecause ur using firewalkers (which are awful). Can get a pair of IK boots easily for cheap and replace that. Wud also look at getting wep dmg stat on ur rings to boost ur dps. Furthermore, as ur dps reaches 100k, u want lifesteal on ur offhand.

2nd try now with correct language :)

http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/shu-2262/hero/21685969

Same as before, cheaper options first please, if possible :)

Thanks in advance mate.


Chest missing all res which would inrease ur survivability dramatically. Also, you want a new ammy, crit chance is a must on ammys. Would recommend ammy with str/wep dmg/crit% and ASI
