I haven't tried Act III yet as I think I need more hp. It depends on what you can afford, but I'd say the minimum you should look for in a 2h weapon is 950+ dps, 5.8%+ Lifesteal, ~100% Critical Damage, and a Socket.

@FireFistAce, I got my 2h Sword for like 200k. It has 950dps, 6% Lifesteal, 100+% Crit Damage, 200 Str, and a Socket.

Imo most important stat for 2h weapon: Dps, Lifesteal, Critical Damage, Socket.

That's my profile. I do use Leap and Ancient Spear. I'm going to change Battle Rage to War Cry-Impunity, and probably take Nerves of Steel instead of Bloodthirst.

Which items should I focus on upgrading first?

I find that Ancient Spear-Dread Spear is a very good option to use on ranged mobs, and if it crits it usually 1-shots and heals you for full hp. And can help pull back an ungrouped Rare mob back in so you can Rend the whole group.

I just started Inferno, and I have 25k HP, like 600 Resists, 34% Crit, 272% Crit Damage, 11% Lifesteal, 30k dps, and around 57% reduction from Armor.

Will I be okay for Act III, or do I need more HP? I find that usually surviving comes down to can your Rend out heal the Rare/Elite's damage, or if you manage to Rend before getting cc'd...

yeah, i've been using this awesome build for a week or 2. Lifesteal is recommend, and atm i only got 2.80% lifesteal, from my belt.. would it be a good idea to buy a new 2hander with lifesteal on?

My current 2hand is:

1300dps
179 strenght
11% IAS
140% Natural crit

should i instead go for a 2hander like this:

1300dps
200 strenght
3-6 lifesteal
around same natural crit
maybe a socket

My Barb is only lvl 54 and in Hell. But I was having survivability issues (mostly cuz most of my gear was lvl 30 and had no resists, but still...), and when I got a 2hander with 5.8% life steal and a 2.5% Belt I really noticed a change. Before I was struggling to get into melee range to Rend to stay alive, and agaisnt Arcane Enchanted it was quite a problem. But now I've got gear my lvl with resistances, and 11% Lifesteal with Bloodthirst, and I just steamroll. Even my Cleaves heal me enough to keep me alive, and Rend is just overkill Lifesteal I use Ancient Spear - Dread Spear, mostly for fun/utility and also to pick off those pesky Wasps, and it heals me for all of my Life o_0

dropped this yesterday and tested the build on my alt barb, I was stuck on ghom with WW and killed him with this build

so I can say that is better for progress even if it's a bit slower for farming than the WW spec

It's quite easy to use both builds, as their itemization is very similar. You'd only need to change 1 Ring, and your Weapons. Double Tornado weapons are fairly cheap to buy.

Whoops, I meant to edit my previous post. Delete please.

I'm not sure which of these Passives to go with: Weapon Master, or Nerves of Steel.

My Barb isn't level 60 yet, so I can't give a Profile, but I'd have the following stats:
- 34% Crit Chance (including base/Ruthless)
- +270% Crit Damage (including base/Ruthless)
- 8.9% Life Steal
- ~950 dps 2h Sword
- ~550 Resistances
Build: http://us.battle.net...SXdck!ZX!YZabZc

I know it's not much to go by, but what would you guys think would be the best Passive to take? Since I've got ~9% Lifesteal already would I be better off just getting more damage from Weapon Master or more tankiness from Nerves of Steel?

Any suggestions? ^.^
