Damage is fine. How long it takes to kill things is not the primary focus (although it is nice), surviving the fight comes first. He might be better of buying two cheap daggers with 900+ LoH and 300 dps than his current weapon(s) (obv not recommended as it would take FOREVER to kill anything)

Block %? Weapon type?

For barbs with not that much money to spend, I recommend looking for a shield with 26%+ block % Sacred Shield and a socketed Helm of command.

Then to make up for the damage lost, use ruthless and weapon mastery with an Axe w/ a socket for a LoH gem.

17% block, mace

Does the block % displayed on the shield include modifiers?

(example: says 22% chance to block, then it says +8% chance to block, is that 22% or 30%?)

The extra block % displayed on the shield is included in the total block % for the shield.

22%.

Need more allres. When I do MF runs all of my stats are a little lower except my allres is much higher and I can stomp act 2.

just started inferno and i'm just hemmoraging gold from the amount of times i need to repair armor. can't even get past the 1st elite pack (i'm on my 12th try atm and just gave up). is there any value in going back to hell and just running through that til i get anything worthwhile to use as far as equipment?

post stats.

not sure who to get it to the above formats but:

strength: 996
dexterity: 449
intel: 433
vitality: 857
armor: 2657
DPS: 9214.62
life: roughly 32k iirc

frenzy/maniac
whirlwind/volcanic eruption
ignore pain/contempt for weakness
revenge/provocation
battle rage/bloodshed
earthquake/path of fire

ruthless/berserker rage/boon

was expecting a screenshot since it would give almost all your stats + money for gearing up but it's fine. I'm assuming ur budget is low.

Use a shield until you get better gears. Look for a 26%+ block sacred shield, added bonuses are all res, str, vit, crit % and life% from currently most important to least important. (you'll need to look for +block % when searching for it on AH) Set max buyout to like 300k or something.

Get a 800dps axe w/ socket (500k? I don't remember, maybe less now)

Use frenzy/sidearm

Switch out whirlwind for leap/iron skin

Switch out ignore pain for war cry impunities

Switch out Earthquake for Wrath of the beserker w/ 100% dmg rune (the 2nd one i think)

Battle rage should be used w/ the +30% dmg rune. But you can also trade it out for furious charge w/ 8% max heal rune

Change out boon for weapon mastery if you're using an axe. And beserker rage for whatever like nerves of steel/superstition/that one other armor one.

For Act 1 Inferno, aim for 300 All resis before using warcry and 35k HP. Dmg shouldn't really concern you

your build is horrible

berserker rage passive with whirlwind?

I'd strongly suggest using the AH with the max buyout filter set to 10k-100k depending on your budget, shouldn't be hard to upgrade your stats a ton for even 25k per slot I'd guess.

does anyone use seismic slam? i've been finding it helpful in A1 inferno for keeping some of the mobs back.

my overall stats are fine for A1 and probably A2, but i need a critique on my build. not sure of the names of the runes i'm using, but for now assume i'm using the best one for the skill.

LC - Frenzy - Sidearm
RC - Seismic Slam - ?
1 - War Cry - ?
2 - Leap - Iron Skin
3 - Revenge - ?
4 - Earthquake - Path of Fire

passives are Weapon Mastery (15% dmg), the one that gives +25% armor, cant remember the 3rd.

Critiques on skills and best rune would be great.

Also, if you're not already doing so use the Enchantress follower and make sure you're select the ability that give you 15% armor upgrade.

Probably need more info on your stats before your build can be assessed. Gear and weapons are important when deciding what build to use.

I change my build based on which Act I'm farming.

For Act 1 I dual wield and use:

LC - Frenzy - Sidearm
RC - Leap - Iron Impact
1 - War Cry - Impunity
2 - Wrath of the Berserker - Insanity
3 - Revenge - Provaction
4 - Battle Rage - Maurader's Rage

Passives: Ruthless/Berserker Rage/Weapons Master

For Act III I go pure tank mode with a sword and board:

LC - Frenzy - Sidearm
RC - Leap - Iron Impact
1 - War Cry - Impunity
2 - Ignore Pain - Iron Hide
3 - Revenge - Provaction
4 - Furious Charge - Dreadnought

Passives: Nerves of Steel/Tough as Nails/Superstition

i have a 650ish dps dagger and 19% block sheild w/ high block amount. 32k HP and 14k dps total. 450 all res before buff and 85% magic find base. not sure what other info would be needed.

i see that a lot of people use WoB, but with frenzy, i never seem to be short on rage. why is it so good?

You can kill elite packs in less than 10 secs when it pops. It doubles your damage while activated with the Insanity rune which means I can go over 100K DPS for 15 seconds. What's not to like? I think it's one of the best skills in the game.

I'm also sure Kirby likes it.

oh, i havent looked at it in a while and i just remember the description saying you become fury incarnate for 15 seconds. Still seems like earthquake w/ path of fire would be better. it does 2000% damage over 8 seconds, only you have to make sure the elites stand in one place.

also cant be CC'd while in berserker, and 10% crit, and + dodge, and movespeed

i personally dont use it anymore but thats because I do marathon mf swapping act 2 runs xD

How long do those runs take you Kirby? Full clear of Act II starting from Zoltan takes me 2.5-3 hours.

starting from zoltan?

takes me less than an hour to do whole act from first wp to belial

Whats CC'd? Looks like I'll be trying out berzerker

Do you guys kill everything as you go through or just run by everything and stop for elite mobs?

Means you cant get jailed, frozen, knockback etc.

I just go for elites and run past everything else. Makes a huge difference in time and you're not missing much.
