Ok so I wan share v u all one... question is did u came of cross experience for barb
tank mostly u boost ur AR...u search from AH did u find all res only, physical n all Res,poison n all Res n fire n all res ?
further up u will boost AR normally u will satisfied w/o (warcry)how much ?
My best armor and AR for my Barb was, 11K+ armor and 1500AR (after War Cry + Mantra of Healing), I couldn't tank too.
If I leaped, it would be 33K+ armor + 1500AR, I could tank for 3 seconds.
Generally, Barb can't really tank.
If you want to tank, you need to have HP recovery too (LOH/Lifesteal/Liferegen etc).
With HP recovery, you can tank longer as you can survive longer. You can survive 5-10 seconds longer and kite or corpse next, perhaps.
Alternatively, you go for DPS.
We can see we have members that opt for DPS now (100K DPS).
The faster you kill, the better chance you survive in battlefield.
You will need to sacrifice some armor and AR for that. And you still need LOH/Lifesteal.
Another Barb we see is the WW + LOH combo + high damage.
It doesn't tank as well. It kills as many and as soon as possible.
In short, Barbs can't really tank, especially come to A3/A4.
I played in public game most of the time for many weeks now and I have not seen one Barb tanker.
The best tanker I've seen so far is a Wizard.
