hey tboner and guys, really apreciated this thread, always usefull when i was confusing doin itens swaps, upgrades, etc.

here's my toon

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Exkrotho-1658/hero/22174770
(dont mind my build atm, i usually do double nado w/ frenzy maniac, wotb thrive on chaos, and bloodthirst for 3rd passive - w/ enchantress)

2 days ago i was a skorn user. with 5 ik pieces full of mf, 0% ASI, running alkaizers mp0 runs at 300% mf, 150k ish dps, templar on, 70m xp/h.

i had collected a lot of shits so far, and now the time to turn myself into a classic dual wield barb has come, without selling the 'alkaiser mf gear'

after some huge research here @ this thread, i brought these itens (100m budget without big red/green gem), and here's my plan (correct me if im wrong)

by priority:

1 - get a Mace MH with 1000+DPS, black raw dmg, without ASI, with 90cd, socket. put big green gem on it (30-50m?)
2 - get another EF, with at least 0.23 APS, with more dps/cd/stats/socket (ah these will be pricy. 100m+?)
3 - get a decent lacunis (armor/cc/reduce melee - dunno how much it cost/exist)
4 - get a 6% frenzy cold soj, replacing unity (30-50m?)
5 - get a ring with 9ASI and another cool mods, replacing shitty rare ring (30-50m?)
6 - get a ik with 800armor and melee dmg reduction (50m)

am i right? lmk guys, and thanks again for all the usefull posts, hail barbarian pride!

/e forgot to tell, atm i was able to do mp10, but not with ease. prolly because of lowdmg/leech return, because my surv is beyond god i think (11k armor without shield / 16% melee reduction!)

hat ruby

What should i upgrade first as of now?

Doing mp5 decently fast, and with very few deaths.

Got a 140-150m budget atm.

Thanks for in advance! =)

In some order:
- str/crit lacunis
- ik chest with 130/200+
-- then swap ik boots to ice climbers
--- then swap to inna's pants to get back 12ms and gain 9 ias
---- then you can drop that crappy ring for a a.dmg/str/cc/chd ring and still keep 2.50 bp
- then think about getting an ammy with 80+ chd.
- somewhere in there upgrade your gems

1. With my current gear, I'm using Axe/Dagger with 39% IAS, so I think I'm hitting the 2.0/2.2 breakpoint, right?

2. I'm now starting to think about my next Weapon upgrades. My first thought is whether I'm losing the 10% Critical Hit Chance benefit of Weapon's Master by using a non-Mace/Axe (my dagger) for my off hand? Based on some recommendations I've seen, I'm thinking that this passive only looks at your main hand? Can someone confirm?

3. That said, is Mace/Echoing Fury the best combination? For me at least, I'm thinking it might be because I expect it will be somewhat cheaper to get a low damage Echoing Fury for my off hand vs a high damage one for my main hand?

4. when you use an Echoing Fury for Off Hand instead of Main Hand, do you still need to wear a cold SoJ with it?

5. Is IAS on main hand recommended? If not, whether I get IAS from 5 or 6 non-weapon gear slots, I could only get to the 2.2/2.5 breakpoint at most, right? 6 slots = 54% IAS at most, but the next breakpoints seem to need 58% to 63% IAS (depending on EF base speed). So, it looks like even with the worst Echoing Fury (0.21), you could reach the same breakpoint with 5 slots as you could with the best Echoing Fury (0.25) and 6 slots)?

I'm mostly going by the attack speed calculator someone made on google-docs. Hope its accurate and I'm reading it correctly!

Thanks

I dont understand the bloodthirst love? i dont die often at all, i have 5.7 life steal, why give up the extra fury when i already have fury issues for life steal i dont really need?

APS means more fury, ok, interesting. Mine is low, i thought that with echoing fury it would make up for it, guess not, ill look into changing up the weapons.
