I don't think Visio matters that much but i really liked having a 2/20/30frw circ and hitting 63 fcr. But i used grief which ignores defense. Arach, 1x fcr, 13+ amulet.

I don't know why you'd need to ber anything for pvm, since they fixed mana burn there are hardly any threatening situations for Barb anymore (amp+ fanat stuff) and when you learn to recognize those you just howl to manage things while you kill the aura guy.

Having 63 fcr on body let's you rock babas or whatever on switch.

Optimizing equipment depends on what areas you're running but i feel like this build basically perfected things for the Trav + chaos circuit i liked to do. I'd ignore any physical resistant trash and just kill the squishy stuff and any elites and only hork elites/champs.

Adding that with dual grief PB 10 LL 5 ml seems like all you need. Can't imagine with dual botd you'd care about having any more let alone gaze and string and shit.

+ Depending where you like to run you can also use tele amulet or circ + fortitude to hit relevant fcr breakpoints. When i was going Trav / chaos 25 charges comfortably got me around the trash or empty space i wanted to ignore.

the best dps option gives you a very marginal amount of dps. The best tanking option gives you a huge amount of DR and leech. The higher your % dr, the more damage you offset with leech, multiplicative, and infinite mana to boot. Having enigma + string + vamp gaze gives you 50% dr and 16/8% leech on top of anything you can get on a ring. Using a DPS option like arreats, viz circlet, craft armet, gillhat all only give you fairly minor overall damage boosts. Its a bad tradeoff.

I’d say guil
Using botd, sources to stack up ds and crushing blow will do wonders
