Not trying to grill but why do people use Boj anglers when it's been stated many times, everywhere, that the ias on them are broken...... so they ideally do nothing but low stats...
It's also been stating everywhere that ASI works and IAS doesn't!
Only a few pieces only have IAS spawn on them, like Inna's Glory.

I use templar but any follower can work
Dual Wield is ideal for DPS (most possible critical hit damage increased) but you can also go 1h/shield or 2h
IAS is good for DPS but LoH isn't necessary (and not very good)
Green on weapon

For it to be a fury generation you need another IFG (Initial fury generator, like War Cry). That way, you can start pumping out WT's and get your fury up.

That isn't the point of the build at all, you need to generate fury elsewhere to activate BR etc. This way you don't need any other generators.
Barb has built in armor from strength and 30% less damage taken. I'm not sure why you are trying to compare two classes that have next to nothing in common to eachother. Barb offers some utility that DH's don't, the good ''class cannon'' gear that you keep mentioning that we use (I'm not) is cheaper for barbs, etc.
Anyway, I agree with you that DH is a better class all around, especially for pure DPS.
/e @ FearMeMortals
The only thing I can suggest is really try to be lucky on the AH for weapons with both Crit hit damage and a socket. Your gear is fine as is (for a low budget) but wearing a shield before getting a good amount of DPS isn't a good idea.

If you're gonna bash at least know your facts.
1. Of course, this is what makes gear with strength and no vit cheap.
2. I wasn't lucky enough to roll a Wizard or DH at launch, so I make a cheap and viable build.
3. 145%, but yes.
3a. This is the most important part and the obligatory one if you have no other gear.
3b. Not really, Mighty Weapon is only used to make Impunity viable with low CHC (With Charge! it's easy not to run out of fury)
3c. That is retarded because your fury usage spell is also your fury generator. Weapon speed was never mentioned anywhere and does not affect anything. That is why it's excluded in the math section. You can actually generate enough fury to regularly use Sprint. The only way this is relevant is when you have horrendous gear and only depend on fury generation from WC and that's just bad.
3d. Several = 1 ??? The only point of this build is to have WC and making it as useful as possible. You can even use Impunity which buff's your team quite a lot. This leaves a lot of space for DPS increasing skills as MR, Overpower, WoTB and a sixth floating slot.
I'm not a glass cannon, especially not with impunity. Sorry for sounding harsh ;), but misinformation is frustrating.

Buy fast weapons with sockets and critial hit damage increased (I originally cleared up to act 4 with a 750 dps weapon)
Cheap weapons can do wonders when you have high CHC. Try buying low stats item with high CHC as a priority.

Yeah, at this point I just feel that I do enough DPS solo to clear everything with a shield, so my runs are much smoother (I rarely ever die).
Doing more damage is fun for some people, I think not dieing is more fun

Care to link the video ? some people have been talking about this and I can't find it. I'm curious to see if it's the exact same and what he thinks about it.
Either way, I optimized the build and only posted after clearing Inferno to make sure nothing is inaccurate
If that's directed to me, nope.
I cleared Inferno with about 2million worth of gear, that's part of the reason why. Also I like innovating and it's the most effective build I could make without being overgeared for everything (which means your build doesn't matter at that point)
I don't think you understand how undergeared I was at start. Clearing inferno with a melee DPS barb requires you to get close to the same gear that a tank barb would, so what's the point ? It's gonna cost you almost as much for the same result. This doesn't sound so retarded anymore does it?
Not everybody has cleared Inferno before any nerfs so just appreciate what works and hate on what doesn't.

Ya I tried it initially but I want to be able to run bosses, kill elite packs and trash. I should have mentioned the option in the guide though because it's good for people with no gear!

Thanks man!
As for the shield, I mainly use it for armor, blocking is just a plus (like dodge)
Here's an Azmodan kill with elite packs

It's all about budget. If you can drop 50mil on jewelry with CHC, res, ias and critical hit damage well go for it. Otherwise, shield works.
/e Also I don't like dieing and I rarely do with a shield so I'm happy with it

Mad cause stuck in act 2? As long as we have ranged attacks I take the right to use them
0
Yeah, exactly, I think I talk about it briefly in the guide. Thanks anyway
I can't wait for it to be fixed so I get ias from my Pants ! Some pieces are really bugged as you said because you can't get ASI on them, like Inna's Glory and Zunimassa's (?) Journey (WD Boots). Too bad IAS is gonna get nerfed at the same time this is gonna get fixed lmao.

Also thank you very much for the sticky!

Blocking won't matter as much because your resists/armor aren't as high as a tank barb. -4000 damage from a 15000 hit isn't really as good as blocking a 6000 hit or something. Also if you could tank as much as a melee barb you'd do more damage with melee skills anyway
