Hey guys - I'm new to the Diablo series (D3 is first one for me) and am having a bit of trouble understanding some of the mechanics and gear progression.
I'm currently in Inferno Act 2 and I'm doing....so-so. I had focused on almost pure DPS through Act 1. I ended up with 35k DPS, but only 22k life, 0 res, and 3.8k armor. After getting destroyed in Act 2 I replaced some pure DPS pieces with more defensive pieces. Act 2 is going better but I'm certainly not "farming". I currently only have 150k gold so my budget is non-existent. So here are few questions.
Can't post my profile yet but core numbers (buffed w/ enchantress)
STR- 1517
VIT - 790 DPS - 32k Res - 400-500 Crit - 46% LOH - 1.2k Health - 31k
1. In order to get to a point where I can farm efficiently, should I stick with Act 1 for awhile and farm gold / items? Or should I progress and try to complete all of Act 4 even though deaths will likely slow things down considerably?
2. What stat gives me the largest DPS boost without sacrificing too much survivability?
3. As a WW Barb, should I be overly concerned with vitality? I see a lot of folks with 30-40k health only and a crap ton of DPS.
4. I'm also a bit fury starved. Although this is likely operator error, anything that might help boost it so I can actually keep my WotB up for more than a single pack?
Thanks in advance!
