I'm on 52K unbuffed using sword and board. 52% crit, 266 crit hit chance, 2080 strength, using a 1010 DPS weapon.
Your key damage boosters:
- High DPS weapon with a socket is essential
- Sacred shield with 8% + crit, and strength.
- Amulets/rings/gloves with the highest crit/crit damage multiplier that you can afford.
If your survivability is still way above-average, then you can look for crit on helm (helm of command with socket + crit is still affordable) and bracers.
Right now, 1% crit is almost 1K damage for me which makes choosing gear very easy.
always will help out the new guys who want to be "that insanely geared barb"
Which piece should I upgrade first? I was thinking about replacing my rare ring for a Skull Grasp - when I have the money. What do you guys think? Here are my gear and stats:
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Are you guys using scoundrel or enchantress?

You have some nice pieces in there but there's also some obvious upgrade paths.
Gloves: I think you could get 4th stat on these without paying to much, either Str, Vit or AS. Bracers: Seem quite weak, you can easily pick up ones with the same stats but higher crit (5%+) for 1-2mil. You could even add Vit as well for maybe 3mil. Shoulders: easily get the same shoulders but with another 50 str on top for 1-2mil easy. Chest: Your trading quite a lot of stats to get the all res on the chest. Personally I'd look for a 140Str, 200Vit Chest with 3 sockets. Rings: I'm not a massive fan of either ring, i think you pay a lot to get both %life and LoH on them and thus the DPS stats suffer. Personally i'd look for something with a dmg roll like (20-50 + dmg) as that gives a considerable DPS boost along with both crit hit and crit damage and then einther the LoH or Life% or Str or Vit, etc. Shield: Good shield but you are missing out on the Life% roll, considering you can roll up to 16% life on a Sacred it's a good spot to pick it up. A shiled with similar stats + the Life% would probably cost around 5mil. Weapon: Obviously it's a decent axe, the +170 strength is a good amount of DPS, but i think you pay way over the odds for any amount of LoH on a weapon. You could happily sell that and buy back a 950+dps weapon with just a socket and strength.
In general i think you could make a decent number of upgrades across the board for the same price you'd pay for a skull grasp and you'll end up with a much larger boost to dps/survivability.
First of all, thank you very much.
I've already made a couple changes before your post - including buying Skull Grasp -, but forgot to update it here. From what you said, only shield and weapon remained untouched.
You play EU, right? Unfortunately, I really couldn't find anything near the prices you suggested in US. ): Anyway, here are my new stats and gear:
Yeah my goal now is to maintain both while getting more crit/critdamage. I have the neck and ring in my bags to drop 5k damage but gain 15k HP and tons of loh for the really tough packs or if I double pull. I'm really loving the setup and playstyle.
My barb just passed 50k. I could have done it a lot sooner but didn't want to lose resists.
What the hell do you farm to get that much gold and have that much gear? Been playing since release and I have like 12 mil on my monk and I cant even get through Act 2.
Mostly act 3, some dualboxing a2 goblin with 300 mf on each toon. And basically printing gold with glove pattern and helm of command.
Hmm need to hurry and get into Act 3 then. How many hours a day do I need to farm to get that much? Is like 6-7 enough or do I have to play more? Also I run with 0 MF as I refuse to swap.

That's about how much I play but I switch to MF under 100k unless I could die. It really does make a difference. I have over 450 hours played since launch.
someone did say pre 1.03 that barbs were going to be the most over-powered class once geared, over the last couple of weeks ive been seeing it - with wotb and full 5 stacks of frenzy elites with 2mil hp get melted in seconds without EQ
Wich passive talents are you using for this build and reach that dps with shield? I'm at 58k dps dual wielding... Proably need better weapons, mine got only 812 dps / 850 dps.
Yesterday I found an Immortal king belt with 144 str, 67 vit, 7%Life and 55 RessAll, do you think I should use it over an belt with 204 str, 73 vit, 54 arcane resist, 74 ressAll? Maybe I should buy another piece to gain the 2 set bonus or just sell it?
