srsly 40% is enough.
I used this build since i hit lvl 60 before the patches arrived and had never any problems with my 40% crit chance ^^

Yea I find 40% a comfortable amount too, though more is harmless. But for a shield build, may want more to make up for the loss of off-hand. but not hard cuz it is not uncommon to find shields with crit rate.

tank barbs can always work. just need to mix in a bit of crit dmg gear along with normal vit/res gear.

my barb isnt as fast in tank form as nado form for clearing a3. but he can still grind out packs.

nado build is most efficient though.

Hey, I'd like to make the transition from a regular sword and board to a WW barb. Currently I have ~120 mil to spend on this project.

This is my profile: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Buks-2803/hero/14074416

How would you approach this guys? Could you please help me with it?

Thanks in advance

If you are using a shield on a double ww barb you are doing it wrong
My friend xD you lose haste and that is huge




And for a ww barb its preferred to get a fast off hand with LOG or life steal str base crit and a socket.
A fast wep is not needed but preferred.

Swap that helm for a nice 6% crit helm with a socket, get some
Ar str main stats and what not.

Stats you should aim for is 40% crit chance buffed.
1k+ loh (could do a lifesteal belt, really recommend this)

If you have over 80k unbuffed dps could go for lifesteal.

You also need around 700 all res
6k+ armor and around 35k life

I beg to differ, anyway I'm a nado/ww barb, not double nado

You're doing it wrong.

Do you play on America? Wanna see me in action in real game? you won't have to do anything, just kite around and watch me kill stuffs. I have been farming Act 3 and 4 like no tomorrow, sometimes I am the only person in a 4 player public game killing elites while the rest are kiting/dying like no tomorrow, you got to be kidding.

shield is awesome, mine gives me + 8% crit and 12k life, if you can achieve a high loh without 2 weapons a shield is very viable to obtain high crit chance and get some stats.

It all really depends on (A) Gear on body and (B) Build used

If you're barb's gear on body is powerful enough, use dual wield
2x 1-handers have the capability to get 90% crit modifier + socket for star emerald
Which makes for huge huge crit modifier and much higher dps and in turn = more life from life steal
