I'm planning on getting some upgrades for my Barb next month and I was wondering if you guys could give me some gearing advice. The last round of upgrades that I did helped (140K --> 172k), but I still think I'm low on DPS, eHP, and AR. I might be wrong, but I would like a second opinion. I typically do a WW Barb setup with Rend instead of a fury generator.
BattleTab: Thornagol#1626
In an ideal world, I would like to hit around 250k+ dps and 700k+ eHP.
but if u want 250k dps unbuffed and 700k ehp prepare yourself to expend some bils
I don't mind spending a large chunk of gold. Those are ideal goals, but I have a feeling I'll end up being short in the end. I'm mostly looking for advice on things like:
1. Is a strong Skorn still the way to go or should I replace it with a EF/OH combo?
2. Which pieces of armor need an upgrade and what affix combos do I need to look for?
3. If my goals are too lofty, then what would be a reasonable damage/eHP goal for mp7-8. (I would really love to quick farm MP 10, but from what I've heard, no one really does that unless you have spend 15B on your gear.)
Skorn is the best way to go if you don't have 2B+ to spend on weapons. You don't need lifesteal on Skorn, it's very expensive : get 3% lifesteal from passive (remove brawler) and you're fine.
You should also replace Cleave with Rend, ils very effective with Skorn and gives nice healing.
For upgrade, try to get vitality everywhere you can, 35k Hp is way too low, you need 50K+.
You can give up all resist on gloves and get STR + VIT + CC + CD (or IAS), you can also give up all resist on belt and get 150+STR + VIT and nice IAS and CD.
Your amulet is pretty bad, you don't need IAS but high CD (it can roll up to 100%), CC, STR and VIT. +DMG and socket is also great.
I play Skorn build too, you can check my barb, I have no problem farming MP10 : Izanagi#2808
Thanks for the info! I'll look at your build.
I normally have rend but I was playing around with cleave last night and forgot to change it before I logged out.
