gloves, amulet, rings, and lacuni prowlers (bracers) help. Hope you don't mind spending everything.

Attack speed. It's going to cost a crapload but that's what you need.

And crit damage on your gloves. and crit % on your right ring.

Wow they picked a different model for her. Old and big boned. Thought it was going to be the monsterous boobs so big they look like they would tip her over girl you save from the web in Act 1

Quote from shaggy

I never heard anyone whine about D2 that they wanted to fight Mephisto's grandfather on Hell mode. Quite a bizarre suggestion.

Not understanding why you call this whining. This is a discussion on the different difficulties. People are saying whats on their mind. I was doing the same.

Quote from riptide

Except that's not what the game was about? There are quite a few people that spent more time in the last difficulty than hundreds of people spent in all 4 difficulties combined.

It just would have been nice if they made each difficulty a little bit different. Maybe in normal we fight Zoltun Kulle. In nightmare we fight his father. In hell we fight his grandfather. In inferno we fight the first of his bloodline. I don't know. Something like that.

I found it extremely boring fighting the same people with the same story for each difficulty.

I always said Blizzard made out in this game. They only had to make 1/4 of the game. Because we play that 1/4 of the game four times over. All they had to do was bump up the damage and HP of the mobs and called it a full game.

If they made a 5th difficulty then in reality Blizzard just turned their 1/4 of the game to 1/5.

Really crappy way to make a game. Lazy too.

When those flying wasps things in act 2 really did insane damage with their projectiles!

I'm playing a little more since RoS announcement only because I want to get all five classes at least to lvl 60 so they can all share the combined paragon points when the expansion comes. It's a bit easier now to level because of the AH. Spend 5 million and one shot everything all the way through to lvl 60 which is another reason to get there now... before the AH closes and it will be a little harder to power level.

Yeah I know people are getting from lvl 1 to lvl 60 paragon 100 in a little less than two days. I'll never powerlevel that hardcore because I think it's boring. For me getting from 1 to 60 in a weekend to me is a great weekend.

after i get all five classes to 60 i'll slow down again and work on my barb who is paragon 76. getting him to 100 would be a great goal for me before the expansion hits.

im sorry but this sounds like terrible advice.
generally there is never a good reason to go full ik set, frenzy and skorn is a fairly strange combo, especially if you grab smite, if you want to be permastunning you want to be hitting fast, hence you should go dw.

frenzy and stacking frenzy % dmg bonus may be something to consider once the expansion goes live with all the barb changes, but as it stands right now it is a very weak ability.

the only real good advice here was suggesting SoJ for ubers/elites

you are free to play the game in any manner you see fit how ever and you like frenzy, keep using it. but suggesting it to fledgling barbs isn´t really doing them any favors.

Well then lets agree to disagree. There are more ways to play WW barb than going DW. I was just suggesting one of those ways. I understand you don't agree with me but that's ok. I use a skorn with frenzy and smite and having great results with it.

Don't underestimate the power of Skorn and Frenzy. I mow down elites with this setup. Of course I have a little bit of attack speed on my gear to start. In super saiyan form, you can bring a single elite down fast and with a lifesteal skorn, you won't die. Add in the Smite rune and you can pretty much keep them perma stunned while you do it. Works well for ubers and most elite packs.

And 5 piece IK is very nice. If you can get good pieces for each slot then do it. You no longer lose fury when you're not in combat. Helps out when you have a slow 2 hander.

Helps to find an IK belt with Frenzy bonus. And if you're doing ubers, finding a stone of jordan with frenzy bonus also helps big time and you should be able to find one cheap.

10 characters at 100 paragon... does anybody have that yet and didn't bot/macro their way through it?

because if someone does... I'd like to show them the closest star to the earth.. the sun.

The way I see it is forums that trade items already.. like on here and on d2jsp..

THEY ARE GOING TO EXPLODE WITH ACTIVITY!

Think of the web traffic they are going to get once this change happens? Ad revenue is going to shoot through the roof.

Blizzard just let the website owners make a lot more money.

So what you're basically saying is you want everyone who has a CC mempo for sale right now to know they should lower their price by a lot so you can buy one for cheap?

Is that it?

All Resist = Armor.

Let's just get that out of the way. They both do the same thing really.

Barb's have two armor passives though to help out

I do believe though 20% buff to all resist and 20% buff to armor would do the same thing in terms of survivability... no matter what each value was at. That was most likely why blizzard nerfed the resist rune .. because before the nerf it gave more than the armor rune. Now they are both equal.

Just keep them both up there. Don't stack one and forget about the other.

Quote from seraphim4

and if you got 7k armor, 800 allres, 50k hp and still die. you are doing something very very wrong.

How am I doing something wrong if I die in one hit? I'm WW'ing around on MP10 killing stuff and a big slow attacking mob just happens to connect with me and bam.. I'm dead. You saying I was playing wrong when I just happened to be in that spot when the attack happened?

It's like you don't know what the hell you're talking about.

And I rarely play MP10 anyway. For efficiency, I play MP8 because stuff dies a hell of a lot quicker and most of the bonus's are still there.
