any barb that can tank diablo inferno?

imho monks are more of a supportive tanker, they have healing skills O.o  give them some time i think more funny builds will come out

yeahh.. that pretty makes monk easy to play..

Barb should be the only one given the 30% bonus from dmg taken. (anyone felt that 30%? lol)

eh? u sure? i thought armor def calculation reduct all types of dmg? including arcane, desc etc etc, just that the ratio needed is larger in numbers

hmm...odd...

so basically AR > Armor? based on what ratio?

Armor is quite important as well.... Never neglect that.... And yes, it basically reduces any dmg types that u hav dealt but however, resistance is more important....

As for the 2nd part, I do think it exist and we can take 1 or 2 more hits than other classes but that's pretty much it to me....
It's actually about balance to be honest.... If I were to rate the stats based on importance, I will rate it like this...

Resistance > Vitality > Str / Armor

So far, from what I've experienced, I think this is the way to go.... But nvr neglect the stats cos everything counts....

Barb is not the most difficult class but the most geared dependent class to me....

And actually, those defense are not hard to get.... The problem is the balance as u said.... But one thing's for sure is that u need to get gear for survival 1st then once u r able to survive, then go balance ur DPS.... I think it's the most sensible thing to do plus ppl expects a barb to be "Tough as Nails" so that we can help them to cross acts.... LOL!!!

Health regen can get it through skills if u don't hav gear.... U can hav something like Ignore Pain with Ignorance is Bliss rune and Inspiring Presence passive.... That will keep u alive for quite sometime until u hav the gear to replace that.... Depends on how u play the game....
Barbs focus a lot on AR but they also hav armor on their eq for added advantage other than STR.... As I've said before, AR is the most important stat to me IMO.... But I can tell u that there are ways to make ur chars tanky other than just solely pumping AR cos AR doesn't come cheap....

I thought AR and Armor worked in tandem for damage mitigation.

100k damage taken.
Armor reduction 60%.
40k damage taken.
AR reduction 60%.
16k damage taken.

End result, what would be a 100k hit ends up being 16k. Do correct me if I'm mistaken on the mechanics. I think us barbs focus a lot on AR because while Armor comes naturally to us through STR, AR does not.

actually, i think, the problem we face.. is not really about getting gear.. gear is abundant in AH, the problem is its blooody expensive, and we farm much slower than other classes since we do not have a glass canon spec, and really rely much on gear to farm. of course we can always buy magic find and gold find, but would be very tough for ppl who just reach 60.. even i am having trouble farming gold to buy gears i need =.=

i seldom buy gear nowadays as the price is so damn high.. so just make sure u can survive in act1 inferno.. then party with ur friends n have a run in act1.. when we all get rare items we share.. if too rubbish we just sell it.. seem like u really need a bunch of friend that will do sharing instead of gold minded..

But sometimes i feel its faster/easier/dont die so much in a group, cuz the mobs has less focus on one person. Lol! Yea, everynight camping AH and farming ACT1 gets kinda boring.. and i only can play abt 3 hours a day. haha. oh well.. if u guys get any nice drops sell to me cheap cheap.. wkakaka

no friends play monk .. have.. lvl 20 saja haha

that is critical build?

i cannot brain it when u guys saying.. "okie i got 1k AR d.. then now start balancing with this n that".. haha.. sound likes ur AR can maintain there n just add another 2 or 3 stats as easy as u just add add stat yo ur current eq.. 

It's a barb specific mighty weapon which I sniped for 100k just before the huge jump in repair costs. Lightning damage so I get the cool blue visual, Ignore Durability Loss and +150 Dex (Which is useless for me).

Just to share will all fellow barbs...i just finished rebuilding my barb after regular r@pe session from elite bosses in ACT 3...now i can pretty much dances around with them with K-Pop, BBQ or remote control car...i remain my skills but decided to change my EQs...here are my stats if i rmb them correctly...

HP - 72,000
Block Chance - 25%
Block Amount - 3700 to 4700
All Resist - 1000
Life On Hit - 1500
Armor - 8000 (before warcry)
DPS - 14,000

Warcry
Revenge
Leap
Ignore Pain
Frenzy
MOTB

Bloodthirst, Nerves of steel and tough as nails

my current STR VIT stands at 1262 and 1419...AR about 600+ without warcry...i tried dropping my VIT and Life % in favor of STR for more DPS but I cant tong for long when there is K-pop,BBQ and remote control car (arcane, morten, desecrator and nightmarish)...if you have the budget, go buy a Justice Lantern...for me 25%-30% block rate(including shield) is more than enough to tank ACT 3...if you are building your barb on LOH, you need to pump up your HP as high as possible...800+ LOH should be ok...if you need higher LOH, why not consider LOH 600+ on a magic amulet which cost about 3m? you can gradually upgrade to better amulet once you have earned enough...anything above 55k HP should do just fine...but it depends on how your playing style is...for me I like to stand there and whack...though I will run around occasionally...

Magic amulet +600 LOH
Socketed Sword + 300-400 LOH
2X Magic ring +400 LOH

This will be economy for a start if you dont mind there is limited stats on these EQs

Only my 2 gold opinion

I have tried double tornado build, not too bad, just have to slot myself with main hand using 82x dmg, 279 str axe, off hand 6xx dmg 5xxLOH weapon, 5xxLOH amulet with CC, and a 2xx LOH ring x 1.. not too expensive for this build.

Are there any other 2H barbarians out there?  Everyone here seems to be rocking some sort of tank spec for inferno which is very depressing.

Just reached lvl 60 and act 1 is as easy as pie, however the jump in difficulty in act 2 is something that i probably have to gear up for.  Currently have 20kdamage, 45k health, 200+AR and 0 LOH (life regeneration and nerfed lifesteal seems to provide better value for money)

I'm also glad that my 2H levelling spec is still more than viable for act 1, http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/barb...;bZX!bYaZaZ however I probably need more defensive stats/better gear for act 2 and beyond.
