So I am at lvl60 an want to farm act1, been reading some topics but its very confusing for me, so decided to create a new one so I can ask specific questions.
Here are a few information about my barb
unbuffed
600 res physical
358 Other res
buffed
896 res physical
537 Other res
27k life - 652 vit 8.7k dps - 1234 str
Attack per second 1.69
Crit chance 5% (Passive)
Crit Dmg 50%
Weapon 1h Sword - 526 DPS / 68 str / 89 vit / 350 LoH + 300 from Gem
Shield - 795 def - 16% chance to block - 53 str (res already specified in the start)
I have 1.8kk in gold game to help improve my barb, and the question is simple, what should I improve to farm act1 non stop and not really slow? as I am doing right now
I read some topics about going crit and 2hand weapons without LoH, read others to get 2 1h weapons with LoH, need some tips on the passives, if LoH is really need, and everything you can add to help me up.
If you're looking to farm Act I, a tank spec isn't really necessary unless you're undergeared, in which case you can't really farm and instead should be looking to just progress in gear.
If you ask me, dump the sword and board and go dual-wield with ~700 DPS 400+ LoH weapons, if you can manage it. Your resists seem too low to go 2H sans LoH, so dual-wield would fit better I think. Get some crit, IAS, strength, more resists, and you should be good to go.
You don't even need LoH for act 1, revenge takes care of that. If you spend 80k you can get yourself a 1h with 800+ dps. Also your health is really low, you should aim for 35+.

Yeah it really depends on what spec you use and your DPS. Going tornado build without any LoH requires lot more DPS then with LoH.
I got a 2h 900 weapon with 600 LoH ...
I am using the build Earthquake + Berseker to kill Elites in 15 seconds, act1 is really easy now, have no difficulty at all ...
Now I need Act2 to progress ...
Tried with the same gear and the new weapon ... but the build was not effective ...
Yeah I agree I need more life, but the question is, how to do that?
If I focus on life I lose str or resist, as I have not too much money to afford godly items ...
I will post my gear later (Im not at home right now) so you guys can help me
you can gain life pretty easily you can either stack vitality to the point where its retarted (1500+)
or you can get 50k life with1100 vit and around 21 life% get life % on gear helms can net up to 20+ (14% + on gems) and then 4%+ on normal stats shields can get up to 16% shoulders, belt and neck can have up to 10 i think chest aswell - rings can have up to 5 ???
If you ask me, dump the sword and board and go dual-wield with ~700 DPS 400+ LoH weapons, if you can manage it.
There is very little reason to ever choose DW over a shield unless you're stacking crit chance (so you can 2x 200% crit on each weapon). The extra LOH helps, but if you're going DW to get more LOH (a defensive stat), why wouldn't you just use a shield instead?

yea, it makes sense ...
btw I am going with my 2h 900 with 600 LoH and good str bonus on it ...
Yesterday I made some armor vitality upgrade ...
Here is some info, all buffed and using this build
Armor 8.2k
Life 41k
DPS 17K
600 physical res
480 other res
I was able to progress kinda easily in act2, died a few times for some shielding, desecrator, arcanist and the ones that explode corpses when die but not a big problem at all ...
At moment I am at Anciet Path, will continue the run later to collect ZK's blood ...
Sry again, today I will not forget to post my gear...
feel free to advice me with builds and what stats I need more to easily go act2... I want to farm easily in act2 but at moment I can just progress elites are kinda hard for farm runs ...

For more damage? I thought this topic was about speed farming, not playing defensive. If you want to/need to be defensive, use a shield. If you want to clear faster, go dual-wield or 2H.

DW with a small amount of LoH and specing tornado build is a good method for farming when undergeared.
