Just wondering if some of you "prepare" for the patch tomorrow?
If so what do you do ?
What do you expect from the market to change?
I bought some Brimstones, cheap legs, some gems, but still unsecure if it really worths it, so I may regret not buying more, but wont regret buying, as it will be useful for crafting anyway.
24 % MS. Rare shoulders with vita, and you could use new bracers too as they are pretty cheap (more armor/vita/all res) or Lacunis would help you with movement speed too, if you dont wanna buy climbers with MS.
For xp/item farming, I do the higher MP I can, while killing white mobs with only tornadoes. I took rend to kill elites faster, because they can be annoying with the extra hp mp gives them. Couple that with shielding or extra health on fleeing monster and it can be a pain, so rend handle that. I read that thing too about the 6%, I should give another try with another passive than bloodthirst now that I switched my offhand. (I had a slower offhand with LS), that may be the difference.
Keep higher MP for key and uber runs, and low mp for fast xp and item farming. OFC if u enjoy the challenge, you can play higher mp just for the fun of it, I often do some mp8/9 full act clear run just for fun, not efficient, and I didnt really notice a difference in drops.
Jaetch, you misunderstood him.
He's asking "what would be D2's SoJ equivalent in D3". As in, what item would become currency.
Ah, I see.
...In that case, I'd have to say Echoing Fury, since 4/5 classes make heavy use of it for the fat DPS numbers. If not EF, then Inna's Temperance with whichever primary stat plus vitality since all the classes want the only pants in the game with IAS and CC.
And if PvP becomes legit... who knows, we might see D3's SoJ be the diamond.
Lol I wonder how would we trade items for Echoing Fury.
Hey WuW for that ring?
Man, it worths 10 Echoing fury
Deal, let me get my mule !
Would be kinda strange, I prefered Soj or High runes lol.
I am trying to imprive this barb the most I can so Im able to do ubers mp10 in solo, and eventually carrying a friend. My problem is I dont know if I "should" be able to gearwise right now, and If not, what Can I improve?
Im still having troubles on some packs on mp9 and wonder if I lack of something I cant see, or if its normal that some hard affixes still gives troubles.
I use sprint for key run/ and mostly use warcry impunity for ubers. I tried rend and felt like even with the life steal bonus, it wasnt as good as warcry.
PS: I have trouble with WOTB uptime on siege/ZK fight too...
Hey I just looked up your armory build....how do you like using Overpower/Rend as opposed to War Cry and WOTB? Is it an increase in dps for you and survivability? I know that war cry provides tons of resists just wondering if you can take a look at my build and see if I can handle your spec too, looks very good : here is my info hope to hear back from you soon! http://us.battle.net...9/hero/30538349
The build I have right now Bash/ww - Sprint/battle rage/overpower/rend - Is for low Mp farming run, I do them in mp3, And I just CANT keep WOTB up even in mp3, things die way to fast, So the fastest way I can go was that way, overpower and momemtum for massive fury gained, and rend for elites pack. I dont need any defensive skill at such low MPS.
As for Ubers, I use overpower with crushing advance for the 35% reflect dmg (which is IMO the best defensive you can take, as its always up) And I switch sometimes from War Cry to Rend, depends how I feel, Defensive-wise War cry wins, but Rend helps with the DPS a lot, and give some LS if u are in bad situation where u cant hit anything. WOTB is mandatory for highers MPS with HOTA.
I looked at your build, And I didnt try Witching hour yet, but I guarantee that the 3%LS from IK is REALLY worth it. It smooths out everything you do by a lot. ( I tried removing bloodthirst and didnt like it.) Im not sure what are your true resistance value, but I didnt feel comfortable until I had 650+ everywhere, and 700+ in physical and fire res. I probably overpaid most of my gear just to get those value, but my gameplay changed by a lot. I can tank molten/reflect dmg without noticing something hurts me. Gets a bit harder when Im cursed by succubus but o well :P.
It is mostly how you like to play, I prefered the way when I can farm and watch my kids at the same time, it did hurt my dps a bit, I should be well over 200k with the gold I throwed in that barb, but my survivability would'nt be that great. Your barb looks very great, it now comes to you to choose which way you wanna play it !
If I missed something about your post, Ill be happy to answer u back !
PS: Dps on profile shows 214k but thats with battle rage, should show around 180k.
Thx for advices, Ill try that for the Chantress, As for the 60k hp, I might be able but I'll have to take off some strenght gem I guess!
I'll have to work on my playstyle in MP 8-9 before I go for 10 probably !

ya 2x1h is much better but 10x more expensive, so you need 300kk for really good skorn with ls or 3kkk for 2x1h which is comapred to this skorn tbh. Im using skorn 1350 with ls 5,9 and mp7-8 or even 9 is quite easy to farm. criticals from hota 1,5kk, 3kk on berk. Slow i know, but its fun at least and still have money for other things.
Well I already have 2x1hand that I think are good enough. so Ill stick em !
