    posted a message on $10 Million... Help me upgrade my $wag
    Quote from Glorym

    With what you got you´d be better off buying some Blizzard or Activision shares if you really want to spend it to something game-related. Or you could make a collection and buy all the barb accounts out there in the game(I´m sure you won´t waste even 5% of your money doing that), which would be a world first. Anyway, good luck.
    Thanks for the free bump?

    posted a message on $10 Million... Help me upgrade my $wag
    So I have $10 mil to upgrade my gear. Looking for the most bang for my buck.

    Recently I just upgrade to the Inna's Pants & Ice Climbers. The amulet I have is temporary, but I wasn't sure what to specifically look for.

    Additionally, are there any tweaks I should make that would be of more help with my skill setup.

    Thanks!

    Quote from GalZohar

    Get a lower DPS higher stats offhand weapon, even if for the same cost as your current you will kill faster regardless of the lower character screen DPS.

    You still haven't replaced everything. Chest, amulet, pants and both rings are just terrible and can easily be upgraded a lot using 20mil divided between all of those. Like I said, all you need to do is go to the AH and check the prices on items much better than your own and see which ones you can actually afford. If you do that, you won't have to come here and post after every single purchase.
    The fact that ur only able to speak in generalities shows ur lack of knowledge so I'll wait for someone who knows more or can be more specific than "get better stuff"

    With 40mil you should basically replace everything except your helm and maybe your gloves/shoulders/belt/boots.

    Can you recommend more specific things to replace them with..

    Right now I am thinking about replacing my Gloves with some that have: Atk Spd, Crit Chance, and Crit Dmg.. then as much Str/Res as possible.

    The rest of the gear I am pretty lost on what legendaries I should be looking for.. as well as the stat ranges.

    LS/LoH on main hand is big mistake and will eat through your damage budget. Get the LS and LoH (or just LS if your budget is good enough to get enough DPS) on your offhand and belt. Even with low DPS, 6% LS and 800 LoH should be enough, and if it isn't, get more on an amulet or from passive rather than your main hand weapon.

    The whole point of sprint is that it only uses main hand damage, so you want as much damage as possible on your main hand weapon with relatively minimal stats, while you get the stats (both defensive and offensive) in your offhand and other items. Not that you should ignore stats completely on main hand, but for 1h weapon damage stats are generally cheaper than LS/LoH and when you buy a high DPS weapon the price just skyrockets if you look for LS/LoH, while for a low DPS offhand you can get both on the same weapon for pretty cheap.

    A 1200 DPS 150 str socket main hand would be quite better than 1000 DPS with 150 str, socket and 80% crit damage on top, and probably end up costing about the same or less. Also, keep in mind that str/socket and str/crit damage can give a lot more damage per gold spent than crit dmg/socket stat combo. Having all 3 is probably not possible within any sane budget (basically unless you have hundreds of millions to spend on your weapon, getting all 3 will not be cost effective for sure).

    A 300 DPS offhand with good stats will be much better than an equally priced 800+ DPS offhand with less stats.

    Very good info on weaps

    Can I get some more specific feedback to what gear switches I should make OTHER THAN weaps now that this has been clearly defined

    Yeah with this current gear and standard ww spec I'm coasting mp1.. just cant keep wotb up long

    Try to focus on those other goals as well.. you guys seem to be familiar with higher mp which is what the goal is to upgrade up to.. and im assuming dual wield will be best route to achieve that

    posted a message on 40 mil.. upgrading dilemmas
    Hey guys.. was lucky and just sold a pricey item on the us server.. so I'm now sitting on 40 mil gold.

    This is obviously more than I've ever thought I'd have and want help spending it wisely.

    My ultimate goal is to switch back to a WW Barb. Can I succeed here again post 1.05 w/ this budget?

    Ok guys, upgraded a good amount of my items as well as my build. Please critique and give me input as what to upgrade next (Having ~5-10 mil to spend).

    Also, does anyone have a link to an updated Effective Health Calc that introduces it to the person?

    I have about 2 million to spend. I was thinking about spending that between:
    -IK's Gloves & Belt

    Would this be a smart upgrade? What other suggestions might surpass this?

    Quote from Aldoran

    i am running 2H builds also and WotB with trive on chaos looks like a waste for me, espesially without sprint.
    Can you get more then ~10 sec of additional uptime? doubtfully. WotB + insanity = 'i win' button and helps alot vs some tricky elites.

    And i have a rule, "no piece of gear without str!" (except some badass rings). Your str is very low. It gives you and damage and armor (do not understimate armor)

    Good point w/ Thrive on Chaos. So if I switch that to Insanity, do you agree that I should also be moving away from Into the Fray?
