A lot of people are having difficulty farming solo as a barbarian, and this is partly because the barbarian class is more gear dependent than other classes. But it's also because the game currently favors a narrow range of builds for barbarian that may not be intuitive to a lot of people. I've been quite successful farming on my own so I've made this series of videos to show you how I do it. The videos are quite long and detailed so look elsewhere if that bothers you.

Dude, what the hell.
I have 38k hp, 8k damage, and 450 resist all and mobs hit me for TWICE THAT MUCH. The hammer ones, which you actually STOOD AND TANKED instead of moving away, basically one shot me if I don't move from they're special attack.
Either my Barb is bugged, or that is Hell, and not Inferno.
Because my stats are better then what you've shown, Almost the same build (Berserker instead of Charge), and I can never dream of taking so much damage.

You likely have different passives than I do, or perhaps a different rune on War Cry. I'm sorry about the mixup with my build listing, it's fixed now.
I can assure you this is inferno, and you can check by looking at the hp of the mobs. The defensive passives make a huge difference!
These videos are great, thank you. I have Act I down to where I can just steam roll everything, but tried Act II and get absolutely destroyed... Definitely will try this build with more vit and less str to get Act II down.
Would be nice to see the stats/gear etc... as well, i watched some your act 2 video, its a shame you don't start them out with a quick hover above your items and stats.
I notice that you have 2 might skills bound to keys/mouse. How did you bind Revenge to your right mouse button? I go into options/settings/key bindings and it won't seem to let me do what you have done.
It also won't let me select 2 might skills. It only lets me select 1 might skill. What am I missing?

You'll want to go into options > gameplay and select "elective mode." It's Blizzard's way of trolling us and almost nobody figures this out without being told.

::facepalm:: I'm such a noob. Thank you for showing me the way.
The 5 golds drop was just luck, I may have had like 30% from gear 75% from buffs. Hasn't happened since!
I've tried swapping in magic find gear at the end of the fight multiple times but never noticed a difference, and I think I would because I have 270% magic find on my mf set. So I just stopped doing it.
Hey guys. Someone requested that I make a detailed video on how I play the build, so I made a detailed play-by-play walkthrough which you can find here:
If you have any questions I'm willing to help out, but please post them in the thread so everyone can see, I often get asked the same thing over and over.
I've also made a video concerning common gearing mistakes that I've noticed from the people that ask me for advice:
Just wanted to chime in as well after watching the common gearing mistakes, it might also be worth noting that the crafted dread shield can be a nice choice if you get lucky.

What are your passives and runes, it doesnt show in you link.
