After spending about 80 hours on my Witch doctor, I needed a little change of pace, so I made a Barb. Currently around Lv37 and am in A2 nightmare,
Just wondering from everyone who mains a Barb -- anything special build wise or gear wise, to know ? 1 hander + shield ok ?? -- I am especially interested to hear skill rotation or how to approach a mob. Also gear wise, we are looking at +str, +vit, +res all I assume ?
Much like my A1 Inferno WD, I am stuck and unable to progress now on both toons, due to gear limitations.
I used something like this http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/barbarian#bVXiPj!bYc!aaaaaZ until I finished hell, always with a 1 hand + shield. (note some runes are not optimal, I made the build for your level). A 2 hand would be better with this build, you would take more damage, but would kill way faster. It's up to you.
Jump in with Leap, you would get the 4 seconds 300% armor buff, keep battle rage up, spam cleave and use revenge when it becomes available, those 4 seconds are more than enough to take down any trash anyway(You might need a new weapon if this isn't happening).
If a elite appears, pop one or both big cooldowns and they will melt sooner than you think.
On bosses I would switch cleave for frenzy (if he didn't hit hard, so I would get more dps) or Bash with the stun rune (it's wonderfull on hard hitting bosses), since we don't have nephalem until 60, you can always switch on spot for what you need, more defense, more offense, mobility...
