Hi guys~ I was being lucky these 2 days as I finally got a weapon 1000+ dps (echoing fury) and a natalya's ring. I sold the ring and finally got 120m to spend to upgrade my gear.
I can farm act III with my current gear but i would like to upgrade my ww BARB to farm more efficient.
I would like to get IK set ( except for weapon) and please advice which pieces should i get and the stats for your suggested pieces.
Here is my tag :mildsven1220 (sorry for not being able to post the link here , would be helpful if someone can post my profile below )
wt i think of is I shud replace my helm and try to get one with 180+ strength, chest and belt are nice but they are way too expensive and i think IK boots does not worth the money at all.
So could you guys please advice which piece I should upgrade? Should I buy 2-3 with lower stats or just buy 1-2 with better stats?
I have the 5 piece, and I love it, mainly for the +2 fury/sec. This also makes it so that you do not degenerate fury at all. I can sprint nonstop through act 3 without ever stopping except to pick up loot.
Start with going for the belt, then look at either boots or chest. The boots are perfectly itemized, I'm not sure why you wouldn't want them. your helm could also do with some upgrading, however the helm is one of the pieces without all res so you might want to look at getting your resists up in other places before you sacrifice in that slot.
Also, your resists look really low, It might be better for you to focus on getting a few off-pieces with good resist rolls that you know you will keep for a long time rather than going broke on 1 or two IK pieces right now. I don't really even look at gear with less than 60 resists usually (cept for rings/amy since they have other more important stats to grab like crit/critdmg/loh/%life ect). Your pants for instance only have 19 resists, that stat might as well not even be there :/

The reason i think 5 piece is amazing is becos the bonus is even better than the passive animosity and i would like to run through to level up paragon quickly. Tyrael's is nice and ice climbers looks amazing (even better than IK boot i think)

I do think all stats for IK boots is perfectly itemized, but then it only gives ok stats, i.e. 90+ for vit and str, those with 160+ str cost like 100m+ which is way overpriced, but for ice climbers, i can find a 180+ str with socket for around 20m, which is half of a normal IK boot's price, but then if I want to get 5 item bonus and run through packs, i have to get IK boots anyway...
My item tbh is really very bad and i do have low resist, ~400 unbuff, i did get a vile ward for 15M with 260 strength and 70+ resist after seeing ur comment. I do agree with u i should focus on cheaper rare first then 1 or 2 IK which make me broke. But i think for me IK set is my ultimate goal (at this moment) and moreover if i spend all 100m to upgrade all of my item...i dunno when i can find another good item for me to get another 100m...
Therefore, i think i might upgrade some of my items and get 1 IK with ok stats. You did suggest to upgrade for belt as first IK item, I compared some of the IK belt and that is not too much different from my belt at the moment apart from the skill bonus and max fury. Could you please suggest wt one should i get for the IK set looking at my profile?
Thank you all of you, i know this is long but i really appreciated u guys' effort to help lol~~~

How are the perfectly itemized ? They have LOW Str and Vit on them and they give Control Impairment reduction which is totally wasted because you are in WoTB all the time.... The only good thing about these boots is the All Res which the Ice Climbers rival and excel with the % Life and socket and the INSANE Str and Vit they give. These boots are just flat out better and the 5 set is not needed at all once you can manage your fury properly. Heck fury isnt even an issue when you get enough crit.
Getting a different chest and these boots you will outperform everytime.
Move speed is very important for WW barb, you don't appreciate it until you have it, and then swap your old boots back and hate yourself for not using it. Find a pair of Iceclimbers with Move speed on them, then compare the price to the IK boots and you will see my point. Not saying Iceclimbers aren't good, but they aren't as good as the set.
The 5 set IS that good, the benefit doesn't come from when you are in the midst of combat, it is when you are out of it and running to the next pack, or back in town. Your fury starts at full instead of having to generate it again, and this saves you a LOT of time if you are going for the fastest runs you can. It is VERY good.
IK boots can have low stat rolls, but they can also have high stat rolls, it depends on your budget whether or not you can get them. Being that they are part of a set and have perfectly itemized stats, they will be expensive for the perfect str rolls, I don't see how that comes as a surprise to anyone. CC reduction isn't useful most of the time, but wait til PVP starts, and then see how you feel about it. Not that you will be using a WW build for pvp, but it would be nice to not have to start over from scratch wouldnt it?
The chest is arguably the best piece of the set, the only other chest you might consider is tyrael's for the move speed, and Try finding one with 3 sockets and Vitality to match the IK one...you wont find one for less than 1,000,000,000 gold I'm sure.
edit: actually that above Tyrael's isn't even possible to roll, so yeah. Guaranteed 3 sockets, excellent mitigation and high str roll with vitality is definitely superior IMHO.
