Hey Guys, I have been stuck at Act 3 inferno for about a month now. I can clear Act 2 well enough but every single champion pack kills me in Act 3, no matter what I've tried so far.
I have tried a standard tanky revenge ignore pain build and I still get crushed.
I tried double tornado and I always run out of steam and die before them.
I have tried a 2h wrath earthquake build and couldn't put out enough dps.
I am currently trying the build Kripparian used in his budget barb runs and it has worked better than the others for me but still I can't progress.
I have spent ~10mil on my gear, many of them impulse buys that were rather mediocre in hindsight. At this point I just don't know what to do and am rather hesitant to buy more gear for fear of it being another junk piece.
Here is my current stats with Warcry Impunity, both armor passives, and the enchantress.
And here is my current equipment:
I know that my helm, amulet, and rings are weak points in my gear. I was looking for a helm that had high armor and extra %life, but every one I see goes way out of my budget. As for the jewelery, the stats are so varied I am not sure what I should be buying. The belt is not so great either but with the VIT and ResAll on it everything I look at shows as a EHP loss.
Right now I have 4.3mil gold, and I don't really want to spend all of it if possible. I am pretty decent at the AH I think, I just can't seem to figure out what I need on my barb, so any advice on gear/spec is welcome.
11k+ armor and 700 resists means your two armor passives are being made redundant
weapon is bad dps wise but the stats its providing is amazing so dont ditch it and use it as a guide for when you want to upgrade it
before going into the negatives ill tell you what you have thats amazing - your shoulders and bracers - DO NOT sell them
make a star amethyst and smash it in your helm (16% life)
amulet go for a seach with 90 vit - 28 all resist and see what you can get, sometimes you can get decent life% loh etc etc
chest seach for 90 vit - 3 sockets - 48 all resist - search for str on top
pants search for 90 vit - 2 sockets - 48 all resist - search for str on top
get an all resist ring for ONE slot with 60 vit 60 str
ok and now the cheat seach for a sacred shield with amazing stats and dont put in all resist
so 60 str 60 vit 10%+ life
or 9% crit 60 vit 60 str
i think ur main problem is the dps, get a better weapon and add some crit on gloves or ring/ammy, resis are low but doesnt matter since ur armor is pretty high.
i just finished act3 today with 700 dps weapon with 800 loh, 55k hp, 800 resis, 8.6k armor, 15k dps. spending less than 4millions.
As the guys above me have said a new weapon is a must atleast 800 dps on it and then start building your CRIT and CRIT damage and u will find everything simple!
Hey thanks everyone for the suggestions. I spent ~3mil on some new items and it definitely help although I once again overpaid for a rather average item =/
Helm (133 VIT 30INT 38 RA, extra armor and socket) paid 2mil
Amulet (550LoH and 62% crit dmg) paid 600k
Ring (70STR 33 Phys Res 30% crit dmg and 135HP regen) paid 100k
870dps axe (only an empty socket, put the 300LoH gem in it) paid 350k
Shield (18% block 90STR 8% crit and 50Fire Res) paid 22k
My new stats are:
18.5k DPS
22% crit and 192% crit dmg
44k HP
All Resists are between 600 and 700
9.3k Armor.
I know I went pretty far into the other side of things now, kinda just sick of having to buy everything to even have a chance, and yet have no way of generating a decent gold income >.<
The only item I possibly afford now is a new belt, I have a bid on one that will raise my VIT and RA but lose some STR, but 600k and 8hours to go, I don't think I will win it.
EDIT: just got completely stomped by a pack of shielding flying dudes =/ so depressing

Let me help you with that. Act1 farming is for most people far superior to act3 farming, you can kill mobs much faster and can even make a magicfind set if you want. Its decent amount of gold and sometimes you find a decent item as well. It can get a bit boring but until you have really great gear its the most efficient.
As far as auctions go I find that bidding in the last minute is the way to go if you want to win, else you're just a sitting duck waiting to get overbid.
Just checking this from the phone on my way to work and wow thanks for all the support guys, i really appreciate it. Looking at everyone's build suggestions it looks like threatening shout is not as good as i thought, will swap for ignore pain tonight.
Nickelig, I too stopwatch my AH bidding unfortunately the specific belt was going to end at 4am and there was no similar belts for a decent price on a shorter or longer timer.
I am on the US server so I would love to add you twopac. I saw you helped a guy in another thrad Nickelig, would you mind adding me too?
My BattleTag is i3igAl #1871 if you guys wanted to add me while im away, otherwise I will send you one later today twopac
Hey sorry for the late reply its all good Nickelig, thanks for the help you've given me here
