Hi everyone. I'm a lightning barb jumping ship to fire and was testing it out this morning for fun and it turns out, not only do I enjoy it but the kill time on champs must have been 3-5 times faster for me, even with my half assed gear. That's proof enough for me that when I get my gear and build in order, I'll be melting. Now here is my problem. I hit a wall in T4. My life return was JUST enough to kill ghom in about 30 seconds (didn't time, just guessing) and champs were 50/50. Some were no problem while certain enchantment combos, wouldn't wreck me but, would just cause a couple kites.
For the record, chest gems were temperary to test fire not even an hour ago, I'm rerolling fire on current fire% and that Vaxo as we speak and obviously looking for any of the following:
IK set / Tasker and Theo for perma CotA
Raekor set for Furious Charge
Lut's/MotE set for Leap/Earthquake
Andy's
SoJ / RoRG / Unity(with Templar for solo)
Maximus /Devestator / Sun Keeper / Burning Axe (haven't decided my DW choice yet)
TL;DR, just interested in what would be optimal. I suppose I'm asking for a gear/build check but truly, I kind of know what I'm after and I am mainly asking one thing.How am I to gain more life back and not die on T5? Is my mitigation too low? Wrong build? How are you T5+ fire barbs healing? LoH? LoK? LoFS? Regen? That along with a gear/build check would be great. Thanks.
Another update: Rerolled fire on the Vaxo. Would still love to know how everyone is healing on T5/6. Thanks Calus, I'm pretty much running the same thing I believe. Different passive if I'm not mistaken. It's the best I can figure so far. I just need to know/figure out where my healing is going wrong.
Your healing goes wrong cause you're missing healthglobe bonuses. Boots, shoulders should have it at least and it's also possible to get it on rings, chest, amulet. Belt can have life per fury as well, but your belt is pretty solid.
Asheara's 2set or IKs is a nice AR boost and you're missing AR on shoulders,legs,chest.
Running T5 with 22k armor(tough as nails+paragon points at 370 helps), 1280AR and 1200 life per fury. Solo with unity on my templar it's easy, on co-op it's doable but a bit more tricky. Using 2set Asheara's and 2set Raekor's but hoping to get more IK pieces.
