Feeling pretty good about my gear, as it stands now. Obviously looking for those set drops among other things but for now, is there anything that anyone thinks would help me in any way? Any rerolls you think would help?
ALSO! If you see a lightning SoJ, Thundergods Vigor, or a Leorics Crown on that character, ignore them and just focus on whatever else I'm wearing. I was just testing some lightning shit out and the page may not have updated back to my fire gear yet. I am at 125% fire with the gear I wear and actually use. My skills change a lot as well, sometimes for solo, sometimes for groups, speed, higher torment levels, ubers, tests, and all sorts of shit, so if you'd like to comment on my skills, feel free but be aware, they may not be updated and are never static.
Looking for a laid back group of players to chill with while farming. Looking to farm T1-3, the lower the better. I can survive up to 4 but it's not entirely optimal. Just looking for drops/XP and people to talk to. I die sometimes, I'm not perfect, I'm not interested in hearing bullshit and I sure as hell won't dish any out. I'm just aiming to make my game time as social and entertaining as possible. My normal friends work odd hours and it's hard to get together with them and playing alone is boring IMO. I'm able and willing to customize skills for group play like forced march or various shouts, whatever we need
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.
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.
In fact, let me suggest my own upgrade with a question. I can afford an IK belt for the life steal and the 3 piece bonus but I'd be losing about 50 str and life. Would that little life steal bonus be worth the str/vit drop? Should I wait for a decent witching hour? Because of my lack of gold, I'm always worried about a worth while upgrade as I don't want to be throwing gold out the window. I mean mainly for ubers. I have no trouble farming with WW but my goal now is to gear up for Ubers so that I have 2 sets of armor for the different occasions. I do still need a HF Ring. If the belt isn't as important as something else you can see, please let me know. Thanks again.
I actually have two questions and I'll start with the main one. I'm duel wielding and when I use skills like Rend and HotA or any of those skills that aren't specific about Main Hand/ Off Hand, where is the damage coming from? Is it from my main hand? If it is from my main hand, does the crit damage bonus from my offhand affect my main hands crits?
My next question is the typical "What should I upgrade" I'm only looking at 20 mil right now although I'm going to wait for some tips before spending it so maybe I'll have some more cash by the end of tonight. Thanks all.
Speed is the main factor here, which is why you'll be doing it on low MP. The difference in Magic Find, Gold Find and Extra Experience is not enough to outweigh how much health they get. The health of monsters doubles up so quick as you progress in MP that the champs aren't worth killing and your tornadoes sometimes won't finish most of the trash and it just becomes a big mess most of the time. So for speed farming you'll be best running WW on MP1 or no MP, unless your damage output is so great that you can go higher, which eventually starts defeating the purpose of the low MP farming. It's easy to get confident while also slowing down your XP rate so try to keep an open mind about it. For higher MPs/Ubers you can run HotA as it is definitely a superior single target skill assuming you're geared properly. Most people are doing no MP from what I'm hearing although I still do MP2 as trash still dies instantly and champs are no more than a 10 second fight for me so I DO enjoy the tiny boost in MF and GF for little to no change in farming time.
But I have to agree with the other guy. If you enjoy your current build and it's keeping you alive then, by all means, stick with it. This is a game after all. But if you are really looking to get serious then yes, WW low MP is best for farming XP/Gear. HotA for single target DPS is better for Key/Ubers and I say those things ASSUMING you have the proper gear for both. Getting cheap WW gear will be worse for you than better as you'll just be having fury generation problems which will kill your build.
For farming routes, everyone seems to like Alkaizers as it's tried and true. If you want my opinion, doing the whole act won't hurt you. I figure, the longer I have 5 stacks, the more XP/Gear I'm getting. The only problems I see doing this is that you have a few extra minutes of running around which doesn't bother me too much so I don't worry about it.
The difference between acts though for farming, on MP, I'm not too sure of so maybe someone else could tell you. If I took a guess I'd say it's because you get HUGE mobs in A3. The fallen on the bridge, the Skeletons in the keep depths, the weird mobs in the killing fields and the scorpions in the Crater. I can't remember many close knit mobs like those in any other act besides maybe the cultists.
Preferably mature players who don't take the game too serious. I just want someone to shoot the shit with while farming, as doing it alone is quite boring. I'm down for keys and ubers although I'm not a stable Uber player.
I've had this Andy for a while actually so no worries there. It was one of my major upgrades back in the day. Right now I managed to get IK Chest/Gloves, Ice Walkers, new Vile Ward, new ring and rare bracers for 120 mil so I took the opportunity. I am taking everything you all say into consideration though and I will be working on Attack Speed/Movement Speed in the future when I'm not so broke. For now I'm just farming when I have the time. Thanks again.
Appreciate the effort Demokin it definitely sorted some shit out for me, thank you. I'm feeling an AS duel wield HotA build in the making. Thanks all as well.
