Hi,

I'm really struggling with elites in A3. Usually die very fast in just a few hits even with War Cry on.

Here are barb's stats (unbuffed)

My dual wield monk on the other hand can faceroll the entire game by holding down the left mouse button 90% of the time.

Blizzard states that Barb & Monk receive an extra 30% in damage reduction by default. I'm only seeing it with monk at the moment.

Can someone please explain to me why my Barb sucks?

Thanks

Take 2nd armor passive and WotB(insanity) instead of overpower and things shouldn't be a problem anymore in act3.

And get some better gems in your pants

So, more crit & crit damage, more health. What figures should I aim for?

Quote from MrWinkle

crit chance 30+, crit damage 250+

Is that with Sword & Board or Duel Wield?

Switch all the gems in your barb to star amethysts. Drop weapon mastery for nerves of steal or superstition.
