Hey long time no see, I've upgraded my barb PvE wise since we last spoke but I'm always happy to receive advice on my build, probably a 20-35mil budget over the next few days.

Hey good to see u again. I'd save up till u get a more significant chunk of cash to make a more significant upgrade. For 20-30m, ur not looking at too big of a difference.

ive watched all the vids. they helped a lot. my barbs pretty successful i must say.

its not exactly like the other barbs he had, i sub'd some certain things in that were cheaper and give basically the same eventual outcome. kinda at a block now.

lmk what i shudd upgrade next ^^


Hey man, glad to see our videos are helping u out. I mean u got the right idea with the barb there. But I think even more so than upgading, might wanna look at getting some swap gear. and I also agree with manner, the life% over phys resist for sure. Obv that chest costs a lot more so u cud go for a non str main stat or no main stat. Those armors are pretty cheap. 12% life will be worth way more to u than the 50 phys resist. And another good upgrade, would be a better SOJ with cold dmg and 5 rend reduc. 2/5 for reduc is pretty low and you may find yourself in fury trouble when u have to take off unforgiving to get tankier. ANd lastly, watch out for attack speed on the wep as it inflates ur wep dmg and i mena other than barb vs barb, i dont think ASI is that important.

Hi R1ckrolled,

I'm also looking for advice on the next upgrade for my spin to win barb.

I'm currently trying to craft better gauntlets/gloves and still keep the third IK set bonus through armor, belt and boots.

I use leoric's signet, but when not using it, I have a rare ring with 5.5% cc, 9%as, 85 STR and average damage, boosts dps about 30k.

Edit: Budget around 400m.

Hey buddy,

Id change up ur weps if u have a 400 m budget. Using a mace for an offhand is wayyyy to slow. I mean ur mainhand would be godly if it was like 1k-1.1k dps but even as is its usable but ur offhand is a big problem. If i were u, i would go for a high dps (1.2k dps +) echoing fury with either high str(250+) or str + ASI and socket. Put that in the mainhand, and put ur curent mainhand in ur offhand. That will help a lot. Eventually, get rid of depth diggers, those things are terrible/overpriced. Id swap them out for innas temperance and then get high str/vit ice climbers.

Have u got any tips for me?

Like, should i buy witching hour for the dps?
budget 250M

You seem t already have a witching haha. Honestly, the lifestela on ur main wep is a little low and that tier of witching isnt really that great considering u can get like a very high str/vit IK belt which gives u a skill reduc and comparable dps and up to 3% lifesteal which would allow u to drop bloodthirst and pick up a defensive passive. Id look into gettin an IK chest as well.

Looking to upgrade for pve purposes. Would like to be mp 10 capable. New to D3 i dumped my d2 fg into this Baba

Looking for general information.

What should i get my crit hit up to? Is there a diminished return after a certain amount stacked with UR crit damage? On some forums it was suggested to have a 1/8 ratio to optimize damage output. Is this based off of 25-30 crit chance?

I feel that i am to squash without around 900 life steal on hit. Is the best slot to pick this stat up ammy, or should i look at finding a couple rings and opening up the ammy slot for a dps slot

What should be UR unbuffed resists for mp10? I would prolly use war cry with the resists.

I also need to increase my overall vitality by a fair amount. In general what life would u want unbuffed to attempt mp10? I can solo farm mp 6-7 without issues as long as i have around 900 life on hit.

IAS i saw some threads saying that this is almost a useless stat to get for pve. It increases UR paper dos huge but they still claim it should be my least important stat? I don't undrstand that point is this true? If this is not true what break point should i be hitting?


Crit with ur passives should be around 50ish. I mean lowest I would go is about 44-45.

1/8 is a pretty good ratio but I mean there isnt really an optimal ratio. Like most things, the more the better but given the tradeof due to pricing of gear, i would prioritize crit chance over crit dmg. With about 40-45% crit dmg, i would still have about 400-500 crit dmg which is more like a 1-10 ratio.

IAS is not a useless stat for pve lol, not sure what threads ur reading but ASI is very valuable for ww/nado barb to the point where it helps u increase ur nado to the next breakpoint (i.e. number of times it ticks). To that degree, if increase ASI helps u reach another BP ,that would be more valuable than any other stat.

back in the day, i was doing MP with my barb which had like 45Kish life and about 600 all res unbuffed and i didnt use warcry. I used overpower killing spree for the extra 10% crit it gave. Warcry vs PvE isnt really required as long as u no how to play.

Also, life on hit is not very valuable, u wanna get lifesteal cause it scales with dmg whereas lifeonhit does not. paying for LOH on ammy is not really worth it unless u get it cheap. On ammy, id rather go all out dps since its the highest dps slot u have.

Hello guys!

I need some advice for pve barb
my profile is
http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/meloITA-1940/hero/1352170

I have a budget of 40 mil, and my goal is a faster farm in higher mp. Right now, after mp5 farming become useless. Also skills advice are wellcome!

Thanks


For skills, just go to any random ww/nado barb and ull see the proper skill set. The only place wher u see differences are using warcry vs overpower vs rend. At high dps, id use overpower, at lower dps id look at using rend. I personally never use warcry unless its for ubers. For 40m, ur not gonna go much higher in terms of MP and i dont think u should. My barb crushed any MP and i still farmed on mp5 cause it was the most efficient. If u looking to grind, u wanna farm at an mp where u can kill all the whites in one ww/nado cycle cause thats most efficient.

I have ehp barb made couple days ago for pvp i have about 50 wins 0 loss and 1 draw vs other ehp barb were nobody could kill each other.

Is there any possibility to avoid stalemate and win or is it pointless?

u have a logn ways to go. U shudn even be farming mp7. With ur gearset, should drop to like mp3-4 for most effcieint. Maybe mp5. U gotta upgrade pretty much everything to get to mp7 farming. need higher crit on ur gear, ur weps need crit dmg base and one needs lifesteal so u can switch ur IK belt out to a witching

Thanks! So i will be grinding at mp2 i guess.
What could be a good upgrade for me with about 40m? I'm sure I can improve a lot with this budget. Maybe attack speed?

Stats in rank of importance:

cc>ASI>Wep dmg>Crit dmg

At higher tiers, crit dmg becomes more important but at ur current stage, thats what i wud recommend

With ur barb, given that u shudn even be farming mp7, I would say drop to like mp3-4. at that level, u just need about 400-500 all res, 4-5k armor, and about 35k HP or so. More important is u need the dps + one item with about 2.7% lifesteal + the 3% from bloodthirst
