You don't really need 2 sock skills/def/life vis. It's all depends what weapon are you using. Like on legend sword. You can just use 1o's and you be great. I've got bunch of eth-repair armors and bunch of rares on barb. I like being differnt because you got unfair avg vs others. Which I want. I like challenging with melee chars and something different unlike some other people.

I've only have little problem but I've already fixed problem. I just need lvls lmao


I don't think 1 socket visionaries can ever compete with arreats tho. I mean yes..you can reach your ias bp's fine, especially if you're using fast weapons like Legend Swords. However you really wouldn't see too many boosts imo. 2 sockets opens up more room, aside from ias jewels.

edit: I hope you know I'm not arguing with your or dismissing the fact that you're trying to have unique setups, I'm just saying in overall practicality, arreats wins vs. almost any visionary I've seen. I had a couple 2 socket visionaries that I would incorporate in certain builds, but not very often.

Yeah I agree. Arreats is just too good for any vis to comptete in most cases. I actually tried bajuicers old via, which was one of the top on east, and o still preffered arreats over it in most cases.

I'm not aruging either. :O but only different between arreats and bo vis helms is

arreats; you gain more max like 1k more

bo helm; you gain like 1k more life and more ar as possibles.

I'm trying have unique setups cuz i'm tired of using cookie cutters but sometimes vis does beat arreats. I've seen BAjuicer beats people with hes vis bunch of times with people uses arreats.

nice guide, would like it to be a bit more detailed though, for example i'd like to see different ias breakpoints for a variety of base weapon speeds. Also, how important is fhr for a conc barb?

Alright thanks for the input. I'll consider adding that in my updated guide. Keep the feedback coming guys! Any weapon types specifically that you were looking for?

one of the reasons im so tempted to make one is because you dont need a perfect fools on a barb like you do on a zealot since lolo socket is not as necessary due to crit from mastery. that and i already have all the gear to make a 100% perfect one from my zealot. :p ehh well i guess id need to get a 20/20 barb torch, dont have that lolz
