stop picking up blues, and yellows less than 61 ilvl.
Blues have always been a waste of time and even with that ilvl 63 stats anything less than 61 doesn't have high enough base armor or dps to be worthwhile (exception being rings and amulet, always pick them up).
I know it may feel like you will make less, but trust me one thing everyone how can make a decent amount of gold has in common is they dont waste time on items they know will be trash.
Also familiarize yourself with other classes stats and nitches in gearing, you can make a lot of gold off rares selling in the 100k-2m range. Oh and don't be greedy with the items you do put on AH, 85% of auctions expired cause some idiot thinks his item should be worth more than it is, expired auctions don't get you anywhere.
2mil is quite expensive for such a belt. Though this isn't really "the price check thread".
I'm interested in hearing how people are doing with this build since 1.0.5. Especially the sprint variant (as after all, anything that isn't running at minimum 40% increased movement speed is not going to be anywhere near as efficient as sprint/whirlwind). I still highly doubt it would beat sprint/whirlwind when it comes to clear speeds but I'm at least interested to see if it can come close or not.
No not quite as fast as WW/Sprint, adds about 15-20 min to a MP 5 act 3 full clear to me, but is very viable still. Wth 5% or more LS it really starts to shine in survivabilty, even with low AR and armor like I have atm. Right now my rend crits have ticked for up to 260k, bash crits for 600k and charges crit for 700k with no WotB and I'm still well short of my end goal for gear. Its also a very good spec against Uber bosses
Either way WW builds with OP are more OP than 1.0.4 WW atm so really the only way to go if you want go with absolute best spec available that is the way to go. If you love 2 hander, board as hell of WW, or don't want to change again when OP gets nerfed next patch (which anyone using it with WW knows it will) then this is very much a viable alternative.
Overpower is overpowered, especially with WW spec.
Crushing advance gives you 35% damage redirection, meaning not only do you take 35% less damage it gets redirected back at monster. To make it even more OP, Life STEAL still works 100% with overpower and was not subject to the original LoH nerf, so you get massive heals from it that only get bigger as MP goes up.
Hmm.. wanted to reply to this. Im not using charge anymore.. dont really like the skill. I just wanted to give my opinion about slam. I think seismic slam is the most awesome skill with barbs. My main attack is Bash - Punish.. with that i can buff my dps for short period of time every now and then. My main dps skill is seismic slam - strenght from the earth. I gain fury from using battle rage with the 15 fury gained from crits. And i also use overpower with crit rune. So i just basically stay away from mobs and crap and just spam seismic slam and destroy everything. So awesome... now i never really die and farming is very fast. Though when 1.0.5 comes out, i need to get some getaway skill like leap or charge. I havent really never liked rend build.. i just feel more safe to stay semi ranged and in that purpose seismic slam works great. I think everyone who has problems surviving in act3 should try this build.. as long as you have enough crit chance to gain fury from crits. Here's my profile:
I used a build like that back pre 1.0.4, have though about going back to it cause I do mis seismic slam. However I'm too in love with merciless assault and rend atm
i'd like to play on US servers, 50 mil for 5 IK pieces...on EU cheapest chest is 70-80mil
seems like a good build but nothing can compare to WW's speed and thus efficiency, especially if doing "alkaizer runs", not to mention the reason why i switched from 2H to dual wield and that is constantly getting stuck in middle of animation because of slow attack speed
Yeah I wouldn't believe 50mil for 5 IK pieces, cheapest chest I've seen in the last 2 weeks was 90m, and outside gloves your looking at 30m each for the rest.
Also saying he got a LL Skorn for 5 mil.. yeah right
The skorn was cheap because it didn't roll such high Crit Damage and it didn't go over 1.4k DPS overall. The IK pieces I got a steal on boots, gloves and helm from someone on the Trade channel who let them go for 30mil all three of them. The chest I bought with real money for about $15 and the belt for $5. So right around 50mil for the 5 set pieces. Deals are out there just gotta search for them and be patient.
Ok a Skorn with LS even at 1.1k dps was over 100m even with a low crit roll pre patch, even now post patch they still are over 70m... and if you truly found idiots willing to part with IK that cheap then your the luckiest man alive, cause even the crap pieces sold for 30m easy
using this build in 1.0.5 only changing leap rune to the one that adds a stun to it and the war cry rune to the one that gives health and health regen and its working great.
They stated in the blog that they were going to reduce Inferno damage (at mp0) by at least 25%, but MP 2-3 is where you get back to the same dmg level but they still decreased your defensive abilities. So even at MP2, your survival is lower than it was pre patch. So I guess what I'm confused about is how they thought they were going to fix the "problem" of Inferno characters absolutely requiring 600+ RA and 3 defensive abilities?
I have 400 RA and war cry with the health rune is the only defensive ability I have and I sleep walked through MP3, so its really not that bad

Some items are ridicilously expensive on AH. Immortal King's should be available under 50m a piece.
Pretty sure if you don't want super amazing rolled pieces, you can get it under 50m a piece. If you're asking for godly items for 50m something is wrong considering how easy it is to make 50m
Actually 50m is difficult for a large majority of people that play the game. I'm not in this boat, however, when items in game go for over 500$US there is something inherently wrong with the game IMO.
That said however I dont think increasing the drop rate was the best idea, I would have prefered they fixed the range of the stats rolled instead. Example being instead of an item rolling say 30-300 STR it rolled 150-300 STR.
Either way I don't care, only people it hurts are the people trying to make real cash off the game, and to those all I can say is get a real job.

still using enchantress, prefer 3% AS 5% Armor and 15% damage increase from erosion over 3% crit

Enjoy it before its nerfed.
Left click: Bash - Punish
Right click: Rend - Blood Lust
1: Charge - Merciless Assault
2: Leap - Death from Above
3: Battle Rage - Marauders Rage
4: War Cry - Impunity
Still working out some kinks in my gear since 1.0.5 like low resists and armor but still am not having to many issues.
I have also played around with a seismic slam build, while that was fun, I prefer the mobilty of this spec.

Uh wouldn't that be something they did right? That would be broken as you could just hit 2 buttons and never die.
