I am trying to imprive this barb the most I can so Im able to do ubers mp10 in solo, and eventually carrying a friend. My problem is I dont know if I "should" be able to gearwise right now, and If not, what Can I improve?
Im still having troubles on some packs on mp9 and wonder if I lack of something I cant see, or if its normal that some hard affixes still gives troubles.
I use sprint for key run/ and mostly use warcry impunity for ubers. I tried rend and felt like even with the life steal bonus, it wasnt as good as warcry.
PS: I have trouble with WOTB uptime on siege/ZK fight too...
Thx for advices, Ill try that for the Chantress, As for the 60k hp, I might be able but I'll have to take off some strenght gem I guess!
I'll have to work on my playstyle in MP 8-9 before I go for 10 probably !

Hey I just looked up your armory build....how do you like using Overpower/Rend as opposed to War Cry and WOTB? Is it an increase in dps for you and survivability? I know that war cry provides tons of resists just wondering if you can take a look at my build and see if I can handle your spec too, looks very good : here is my info hope to hear back from you soon! http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Asethi-1919/hero/30538349

The build I have right now Bash/ww - Sprint/battle rage/overpower/rend - Is for low Mp farming run, I do them in mp3, And I just CANT keep WOTB up even in mp3, things die way to fast, So the fastest way I can go was that way, overpower and momemtum for massive fury gained, and rend for elites pack. I dont need any defensive skill at such low MPS.
As for Ubers, I use overpower with crushing advance for the 35% reflect dmg (which is IMO the best defensive you can take, as its always up) And I switch sometimes from War Cry to Rend, depends how I feel, Defensive-wise War cry wins, but Rend helps with the DPS a lot, and give some LS if u are in bad situation where u cant hit anything. WOTB is mandatory for highers MPS with HOTA.
I looked at your build, And I didnt try Witching hour yet, but I guarantee that the 3%LS from IK is REALLY worth it. It smooths out everything you do by a lot. ( I tried removing bloodthirst and didnt like it.) Im not sure what are your true resistance value, but I didnt feel comfortable until I had 650+ everywhere, and 700+ in physical and fire res. I probably overpaid most of my gear just to get those value, but my gameplay changed by a lot. I can tank molten/reflect dmg without noticing something hurts me. Gets a bit harder when Im cursed by succubus but o well :P.
It is mostly how you like to play, I prefered the way when I can farm and watch my kids at the same time, it did hurt my dps a bit, I should be well over 200k with the gold I throwed in that barb, but my survivability would'nt be that great. Your barb looks very great, it now comes to you to choose which way you wanna play it !
If I missed something about your post, Ill be happy to answer u back !
PS: Dps on profile shows 214k but thats with battle rage, should show around 180k.

Hey there, I had an Ik belt with 180 str/80 all resist and was using 4 piece for a while....i switched to witching hour because i gained about 14k damage unbuffed (YES it gains that much) and I tried out a few different armors since then like tal rasha for attack speed but overall i switched back to IK armor. As far as my resistances now when I'm buffed i believe my lowest across all of them is 672 and i think my highest is 764? Somewhere around there. I feel like MP5/6 is probably my limit as far as clearing the fastest on higher difficulty although I can handle MP10 just takes longer. I guess also what I'm wondering is, is my chance at finding better items that noticeable on mp5/6 as opposed to mp1/2? I clear super fast on mp1/2 but also I'm looking at finding great items/fast xp. Without the IK belt right now I'm at 5.90% LS and I read that anything over 6% is overkill (5.80% LS is what i was told to have minimum) I guess ill try tonight your build without war cry and let you know how it goes
Also : should i keep at it with mp10 clears even though it may take me two or three times as long with a better chance at finding legendaries? or would you recommend just sticking with lower mp for fast runs
For xp/item farming, I do the higher MP I can, while killing white mobs with only tornadoes. I took rend to kill elites faster, because they can be annoying with the extra hp mp gives them. Couple that with shielding or extra health on fleeing monster and it can be a pain, so rend handle that. I read that thing too about the 6%, I should give another try with another passive than bloodthirst now that I switched my offhand. (I had a slower offhand with LS), that may be the difference.
Keep higher MP for key and uber runs, and low mp for fast xp and item farming. OFC if u enjoy the challenge, you can play higher mp just for the fun of it, I often do some mp8/9 full act clear run just for fun, not efficient, and I didnt really notice a difference in drops.
