i like tanks!
good work, and fun video!

what about the tank stats:
dex
reduced dam from ranged attacks
reduced dam from melee attacks

not good for tank, or not good for barb?


DEX is absolutely hoirrible for Barbs in general, unless you dont need to use revenge....
the others are important but should only be considered after you have come to a comfortable point with the other stats.

Brueger: Sidearm is 25% more single target dps, while Maniac is only 20%. While the Maniac buff would help with Revenge, I wanted to maximize damage for single target and small fights. It's debatable, feel free to grab whichever you like best.

Tommy:

77.78% Armor
77.41% Physical Resist
11.1% Dodge
25.35% Reduced melee damage
4% Reduced elite damage
30% Barbarian damage reduction

-> 2.2% of base damage taken

I also have 49% chance to block with 2800-3766 block amount, often negates attacks completely.


thx, verry intresting! and sick stats you have there!

so if your block negates attacks (if you not block, you loose like 3800life vs a normal monster?)
monster damage would be+/- 3800 / 2.2*100 = 172k

PotLimit: I've seen some barbarians do well with 2h but it's a completely different strategy from what I use. You may want to find another guide for that :) I think it can work well but you'd need a lot of expensive Act 4 gear.


In other news, I finished the Act 4 video!

I've also been making a lot of barbarian videos lately, check out my youtube channel :D

Bruege: Attack speed is only really useful for a tank if you're using Life on Hit effects, so that you'll regain health faster. If I were you I wouldn't look for it specifically since it'll likely add a lot to the cost of an item, completely out of proportion to how beneficial it is for you. It is nice to have, however.

ok so a 1.30 speed weapon with more damage is better than a 1.40 speed weapon with less damage? right?

Funny, I'm running almost the exact same setup. I've opted to take Berserker Rage over Superstition for act 1 farming. Once I get into Act 2 I plan on switching it back though. Nice guide :D
