what about whirlwind with the rune that gives 1% life per critical and a high chance for criticals + life leech?

Yea, but the thing is 20% armor when you already have high armor only gives afew % as you start to hit high diminishing returns I believe. And 50 resist is not a whole lot when gear can have 60-80 each so you can get them that way. I just want to know if threatening works for elemental or purely physical. Even if it only is physical it still seems like it would be better. IE; Boss hits for 100k then 80k with threat shout compared to only getting 3-4% more DR from armor.

It's +50% resist... christ people read tooltips

its increase by 50% so the more you have the more you gain from this buff..

also from a very good forum post:

Every 1000 points of Armor increases your effective health by 1/3 of your max health (with no other DR sources), regardless of how many points you do or do not have in Armor already. The same goes for resistances. Here is a link to a google doc with graphs showing effective health and DR as armor increases:

Gonna go try that out ;D

Just killed maghda in inferno with my barb:

That's a pretty nice looking barb you have there.

People always asking me, "Me the Three 6 high on that"
Rolling on them X pills, stuttering pup-pup powder packs
Woah-wuh where the weed at, ain't like that we need that
Nyquil will slow me down, something that keep me easy
Nothing like that yella yella that will have you itching man
Talking like you "What's up, fool?" Vocal chords sounding lame
In my days all we did was chief out on a quarter pound
Gone on coke, eyes are bucked, this here shit will knock you down
Knock you out, make you fall asleep when you're on them wheels
Ain't no doubt, hit me when I beep for this refill
Once again, on my wicked high, gotta have that drank
Heard my name, Gino, I feel like I'm gonna fucking faint

Started about 5 days ago, so i'm just looking here.

I made it to NM solo except for killing Diablo in normal, I did that in a group. I didnt concentrated on Str/Vitality but have not found anything with any resists to speak of.
I've made it to Leoric and I can kill him with this set up.

Frenzy/Triumph
Rend/Bloodlust
Ground Stomp/*
Battle Rage/Ferocity or Warcry if I'm not soloing
Wrath of the Berzerker
Pound of flesh
Blood Thirst
Superstition.

Basically I'm using Ground Stomp to stun them and Blood Lust to leech health up and gradually kill them.

In nm I'm able to solo The Reign of the Black King over and over again. My main problem is I'm level 38 and I have "7" resists. Other than to keep farming and searching for resist all gear with str/vit and ignore everything else? I currently dual wield do I need to go to a sword and shield? Because as soon as I run into poison or fire I may as well go run and hide behind mommy's skirts....
