Hey guys, new to the class so thought I'd ask a few quick basic questions before I spend gold on anything that I may or may not need.
Firstly apart from strength what else am I looking for, life on hit, vitality, attack speed, armor, damage to attackers, crit?
For weapon choice do I go with a 2 hander for more dps damage or a single hander and shield for block and survivability?
I have a Monk in act 2 in Inferno, is it basically the same stats/setup just swap dex. over for strength?
Thanks for any help.

I go with 2 one handers that has worked okay but I'm taking my time (not passed normal yet). I have thought about trying the one hander and shield thing, except to me the barb isn't the barb without dual wielding.
Ta guys for the advice, its always good to get the right advice at the start so you know your on the right path
A lot more effort needed on survivability with life on hit and life % so will keep an eye on that and dps and wont worry so much about attack speed and crit.

All res > vit > str > armor is what you should look for on items imo. A shield with high block % is important aswell and a good weapon with as much life on hit as possible. When you are buying items the cheapest way to gear up is to look for some items with high str + all res on and some with high vit + all res to make it a little cheaper. Ias is very good aswell since more attacks means that you will get more healing with life on hit. Imo going for 1h and shield is much safer for farming and you will probably die less compared to people who are using a 2hander or dual weilding.
Just out of curiosity what companion are people using?
I'am thinking when I get her that the enchantress would be the way to go to give some ranged dps.
Is the Scoundrel an option?
The res stuff would be for Hell and beyond correct and not prior?
Also whats the playability of the class like, I now have one of each class and have found all so far to be really enjoyable through to Inferno with the exception of Witchdoctor that I found the further I went with it the worse it got and that was only to Hell mode.

I think the enchantress is the best option for the 10% armor buff you get. I currently have barb,monk and wizard on 60 and I still like my barb the most.
