I run a 2h Barb, and I have no problem with Act 2 Inferno (with the exception of Belial). You do not need to be super tanky to be a Barb in Inferno, and I have never used a 1h and shield in Inferno while solo. In some ways the best defense is a good offense.
Could you guys share your stats and builds?
Cause atm I have 2 ways of doing NM act1:
1) solo or group; 2h; seismic slam (15fury cost) + wrath + earthquake + ignore pain + unforgiven
kite all normal packs with seismic slam and enjoy the rage generation from unforgiven passive
elite packs = pop all cooldowns, hope I kill it before the cooldowns end, retry until I do
2) group; sword and board; shitload of stun/support skills
I'm the support bitch that follows the demon hunter around as a bodyguard
and both aren't really 'fun' so after reaching NM I now only play 2hrs a day because I get bored after!
I've farmed up hell act4 about 10~15 times orso and when looking for gear on AH I can't really find any improvements in vit/str below 1mil buyout so I think my gear is good
Might be me, but you're talking about Nightmare mode right? I can't see how you can have problems with NM. Aside from 1 rather annoying combination of abilities on a champion pack at the start of Oasis (On those whirlwinding mobs) I have yet to die from something that was too hard. The only other reasons I died was things like: Oh i'll soak that shit up! Then comming to a conclusion that I just better could've decided to Leap / Stun them or something.
Anyway, I've cleared most of NM with the following build:
I won't act like this build is super, but as I said, it worked for me on almost everything. I hate long CD abilities though, and i'm no fan of Revenge either, waiting on a ability to proc in order to get healed is WAY too random for my taste, but as i'm working my way through hell now i'll try to get that sorted in the process.
To sum it up though, NM basicly allowed me to just go ape-shit dmg wise and kill it before it kills you.
sorry inferno, I'm used to writing NM (nightmore) from playing swtor where it was the highest difficulty xD
Nightmare (and first 90% of hell) is fine imo for barb, you can still have the real barb vibe while playing a bit more careful there
