So yea, i got the barb to 60 got a bt of gear here and there and facerolled act one with like only 1-2 deaths, over the weeks pushed myself though act 2 while upgrding gear slowly but surely and finaly a few days ago got a solo belial kill on my barb (enrage timers ftw).
So i knew it would be a jump but figured i would try act 3, i went red on gear twice in 2 elite packs and didnt manage to kill the 2nd elite pack (After the dmg nerf from a2/3/4). I know my dps is a bit low but ive been trying to increase it without losing survivality stats and think ive got to a point where every item off ah is now looking at 600k-1KK min upgrade.
So wanted to ask and see if anyone could look me over and see if they could pick out any problems or if just gear related and if so whats the next step? Also if anyone has any good ideas to help me progress would be helpful, other problem is i have aspergers syndrome which means ah selling is a pain to say the least and the gold income is a bit slack, lots of farming to get even a single item. So when i get that item want the biggest progress possible.
Any ideas on gold genrating is welcome also, atm i either do sarkoth runs on the wiz at 243% GF or act 1 farm runs on the barb depending how focused and how much time i have.
Skills are in the video, only change i was playing with was Earthquake with reduce Cd instead of furios charge and swapping passive zerker rage to boon to reduce wrath and earthquake cd but i didnt seam to survive long enough on elites in act 3 for it to make a diffrenace.
Thanks for all/any advice given ahead of time,

Your gear needs work though. Your resists look reasonable but your armor is low. This is probably because your strength is very low and thus your damage is too. The full tank build isn't really neccessary anymore, and in fact will hinder progress as many bosses now have enrage timers.
I'd say you need at least another 4-5k DPS to progress reasonably in act 3. Upgrades costing 600k-1kk sounds like the right ballpark for where you are tbh.
So aim for str - i guess on the gear that hasnt got it, been after a str based helm but only ones i seen drops massive amounts of vit for it.
So if i pop leap, then ignore pain, then another leap. While having wrath ON. I have close to 90k dps, and shit just dies. I found this a lot more satisfying and fun to play.
Might try to up dmg a bit and play around with a dual wield, if "most" of the stats are kinda the same then can test out diff between sword and board and dual wield. Do u use the same kind of spec or go more for offensive? I quite like the full fury builds that the tank build uses.
Ty for replys, guess will keep eyes open for str stuff then.
One must get more strength on every slot in gear. One must be willing to spend more in this point of the game. If possible , one must attempt to stack abit more crit and crit damage to maximize damage as much as possible. Get a 700 loh 1h with a good speed. 700 resistance is borderline to act 3. Many pieces of your gear only have vitality so get strength on it. The best combination for wep stats is strength ,vitality, life on hit, crit damage and if possible life leech. If your damage still lacks then you will have to change up your passives, say weapon master and ruthless? Many barbs are switching to dps at this point which is recommendable but if you still want to be tank-dps then you should looks to some of these changes.

I read about that combo but havent got around to testing it, i guess swap Charge with leap, im assuming ironlanding is the +300% armor one.
Yea i dont seam to be able to find any gear with same vit and str on or close to vit and str ect under a few mil each so i guess thats the hp/dmg diff
