Can someone link me an armory to there (or someone else's) decently geared Barb capable of farming?

I'm just starting diablo3 again and it's been way too long for me to know anything about them.

im thinking the weapon needs upgrading first then i can probably get another 100 str out of shoulders and then maybe go for new gloves/ring maybe?

Hey guys, awesome thread btw, some really good advice in here....quick question if anyone cares to help....made a few upgrades on my barb but he still seems a little weak when doing mp5+, im guessing because my AR is only around 450 unbuffed...my question is what should I focus on upgrading next since I'm kinda lost at this point.

did some upgrades yesterday.. got 2.26 as on screen atm , and i think its the same for both weapons. my cc with full buff and bowman is 51% , also using overpower-killing spree , u think that i should go for 2.5 as?

also looking for upgrades , what u think?

http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/WannaB3-2460/hero/22150515

Tnx!

e/ ah u mean with wotb up.. yeah i am on 2.6 atm , i can remove some.. or get some more for next step..


Yes the quick formula for calculating what you need for breakpoints is (Breakpoint_You_Want / Your_Weapon_Speed) - 1.4 (1 + .15 from DW + .25 from WOTB) - 0.03 (enchantress, if you're using her).

So, in your case, it would be (2.50 / 1.45) - 1.4 = .324 or 32.4%, so round up to 33%. The next breakpoint is 2.857, so for you, it would be (2.857 / 1.45) - 1.4 = .5703 = 57%. I'm actually not sure how the game calculates it, so I'd say 58% for sure. 58% is quite a lot (6 slots with max 9% ias is 54%, plus a seventh slot with 4% or more) and it's usually not worth going for until you're at the top tier and can afford trifectas everywhere.

As far as upgrades... I always ask, what are you aiming to do? Farm XP? Farm Loot? Do MP8 ubers? MP10 ubers? Answer that first, and what you will (or will not) need will be much clearer to you.

Looking at your setup, you don't have 24% movespeed, which is very important to efficient loot/xp running. You also don't have the 2pc IK set bonus, which is very good and important to your EHP, but that's dependent on what MP you're doing. The belt is usually the best cheap option to pair with the chest unless you can afford a great pair of gloves. You should also look into an IK chest with over 200 vit.

I'd say your IK helm and belt are both pretty weak versions of those items. For IK belt, aim for like 180 str, 70+ vit, fairly cheap like 10m or so. IK Helms with 180str/70vit are similar prices (I'm on Americas), and 180+ str/60+ AR will be very expensive (150m+). Most people opt for a non-crit mempo, which is a lot of str, AR and ias for pretty cheap; +armor is a good prop (8-12m), 70+vit will run you 15-20m.

Fentr, awesome advice man I appreciate it....I was looking at both upgrading helm and belt as well as an upgrade on my gloves...eventually i'd like to upgrade my skull grasp since the nerf 2 loh has happened....do you think I need more ll since as of right now I only have 5.90 (belt and 3 from bloodthirst)? Thanks again for taking a look at my build!
