I have yet to find an upgrade for the character I am playing. I have been farming act3 inferno for 250+ hours (150+ of those with 200+ base MF). I have found lots of godlies for every other single class though :P.
If you are farming act 3 in MF gear, you don't need any upgrades, since you're allready filthy rich, right?
Its obvious that this kinda steamrolling act3 inferno requires alot of gold, thats the game,
right now still farmin up sword/board style being poor in gold as fuck, but thats kinda how u gotta start with it right Sarac?
That's how I started, however I was lucky enough to pick up a justice lantern for 500k and a 31% vit rolled SS for 10mil. This was weeks and weeks ago though no chance in that anymore :(.
a lil more intel on how u came to that point in terms of farming would be nice, of course it requires a lot of time;
I geared for pure defense until I could kill/survive and then started subbing in items with more str/crit/crit dmg and IAS when I found them on the AH, in game or was gifted them. I slowly moved from 10k dps to 35k dps 1h while maintaining my survival stats and then simply splurged and bought a huge 2h and sold my sword and shield all in.
despite the gear, my group still lil low in dps, me running round 70k hp close to 800 allres and cute sacred shield not immortal though and wanna provide maximum support so we can farm more easly, thx bro luv ur idea of giving inspiration to others
I tried pure tanking for my friend who was a glass cannon DH while my dps was still low and honestly it didn't work all that well until I went pure defensive abilities/passives. At that time I could do a decent job of keeping stuff bottled up for him. I also tried a stun build which wasn't terrible but it also wasn't amazing. I assume it would be kind of nice if you had a nice tanky monk in front of you. Just keep up the farm you will get there, be persistent! =
This is my first video I used no editing at all I just wanted to show you how fun this spec can be so don't expect much flash ;p. I have been doing Cydea + Azmo for a while now I find it much better for loot than siegebreaker runs!
I got terrible champ packs and an unlucky run but this is how it a lot of times. I recorded this on the first try and did the commentary while playing (I am so so so sorry!). I am happy with the result, it has suggestions, tips, strategy, and of course female barb dying sounds! I hope you enjoy it and in turn inspires you to try 2h also, viva la revolution fight the sword and board oppression!
Right now I am running w/ 50% block 950 phys resists and 800ish every other resist, 2 DPS passives 45k hp 25k dps (in town) and 1100 LoH. I have full cleared inferno solo on my barbarian and although this guide is filled with alot of great infortmation I disagree with some of the recommendations made here.
First of all I think leap is CORE for just about every build. Leap is a 4 second ignore pain on a 10 second cooldown that adds mobility and escape mechanisms to the class. Combine leap with charge (juggernauted) and you have an amazing amount of survivability and mobility. The only reason I could see to use ignore pain over leap is when you are trying to zerg something down because leap has a cast time and slightly less short term up time.
The second thing I disagree with is picking up 3 defensive passives, or even 2 in most situations. The passives are great for surviving but unless you can tank the champs/rares for a long period of time with LoH you are better off picking up offensive damage so you can pick off a few minions or an elite right off the bat creating a domino effect which makes the rest of the fight trivial. There are also a large number of packs which barbs simply cannot kill without damage, things like vortex firechains, with this extra damage you can pick off 1-2 of the elites before your wrath of the berseker wears off.
I would also like to add I do not use any rage consuming abilities at all, infact I find them less useful than the other abilities on almost all situations I instead run with leap/charge/warcry and wrath of the berseker and having my rage constantly capped is a 25% boost ontop of my 20% damage glyphed frenzy I very often see 85k+ revenge crits.
I also disagree with the idea that 2h barbs are not viable right now. They are extremely viable and they kill elite packs 2x as fast as I do. Their problem boils down to the fact they can't pick up revenge while maintaining their ability to zerg elites which means that white mobs take forever to kill. For this reason I think sword board is better for the moment, but for the moment only. I have a friend who 2h plows through a3 siegebreaker 5 stack runs, skips all white mobs and ends up doing 15-20min runs. Elite packs for him last about the same time as wrath takes to expire.

There is ALWAYS upgrades.
And my MF is around 275 unbuffed atm, 350 w/ NV.
