Kungen is trying Act II tomorrow. I don't know if he's geared enough yet. I'm a nobody hardcore player but have been watching the main progressors streams for awhile now. I'm wondering if you've tried it at all yet, or how long you are going to farm until you feel comfortable?
Im playing with kungen(and streaming too) if u havnt noticed, we just tried the beginning of A2 and we're pretty ok geared. IT was HAAAARD and dont know how we're supposed to do it
Well, i'm playing on softcore as a barb and the stats i found to be quite good for Act 2 are the following.
between 630-780 resists, 3 x 630, 2 x 700 and physical at 780. 59k hp, 9.8k armor (10.600 with enchantress buff), 25% block (got a good rare shield, dread shield i think, can be crafted), 10k damage. I almost don't die on act 2 atm, but i still die because i can afford to be more agressive, so i don't play really cautiously.
But you can let Kungen know that this is what he kind of needs to aim, i think he should be good with this kind of stats. Maybe a bit more for more safety on HC, just to be sure.
I just killed the Butcher as well with my Barbarian. After finishing Hell the other day I did a lot of goblin runs and bought resist gear on the AH to boost my survivability. I thought compared to how hard those fat zombies hit right at the beginning, there was no way I could do the whole act. But I decided to see how I fared against a champion pack anyway, and with SSJ4 and Ignore pain with lifetap I found I could tank most elites without even kiting a bit (I had to kite against desectators/arcane enchanted of course). My way through the act went very smoothly, and I hardly ever went under half health. My stats with Enchantress and War Cry buff are:
49,186 hp
8825 armor
330-492 resists
9400 DPS
I also have 2.30 lifetap on my weapon so that helped a bit with keeping me topped off. Obviously by my stats there's still a lot of room for improvement, but hopefully I will be trying Act 2 in the near future.

thanks ill tell him, though getting that high resist and hp and dmg from a1 goblins would take days even though i manged to get 480 resist in one day >_<
True, it takes some time.
But, as a remark, all the pieces i have right now have the same look as Kungen's gear, the horn looking helm etc.. , the one he is using as well right now, which i think it's Tier 14. So i'm not using Act 4 gear to achieve these stats, those are to expensive, i am using gear which can drop in Act 1.
so, with lots of farming, you can get this on HC as wel. Good luck with the farming, i hope it goes well.

Either way, total awesome job on Butcher.
