Impunity or Hardened Wrath. Depends on ur armour and all resist, which is lower now?

if u want to be a tanker, prioritize ur item : VIT > all resist > armour > STR.
if u want to balance both damage and defense. farm more, nice EQ dont come cheap.

barb is the best tanker in this game. I'll just let my co op fren do the DPS

i dono u. but for being a tanker, u'll need this skills to protect and do crowd control :

stunner skills (give more time for DPS co op fren to run/organize their attack.
knockback skills (to protect ur allied when stuck at choke place)
slow enemy movement and enemy attack speed (u know what this mean)
buff armour to allied (improve ur allied armor for better survivality)
use shout to attract enemy to attack u (very important, let all of enemy attack u, let ur DPS survive and kill em)

while monk is good for support role, can heal.

agreed on your recommendation to stack ALL RESIST as much as possible. But 20k-30k life is too low tank in inferno. try at least to achive 45k-50k minimum.

Aside for weapon,
Yes, AttSpd will give more dmg if to compare to STR. But STR will contribute to both dmg and armor. Well, im a tank. Prioritize on VIT > All resist > Armor > STR. But it seems like all these wont come cheap. Guess what, my damage now only 4700 only. I'll just let my allied to do the killing stuff, while I pull all mob to me.

as for tanker, all resist is a must. so far I can tank and stay in the waller + poison/ fire + arcane laser. My role is to pull all mob to me and let allied with DPS hit em from safe distance.

My build for tanking:

My normal attk is Cleave + slow down enemy movement
War cry + Impunity give me extra armor and extra all resist.
Threatening shout reduce incoming damage and slow down enemy attack OR threaten fear enemy to attack me.
Revenge skills will be my life restoration. My most important skills to have.
Ignore pain. giveme endurannce when tanking and a bit of life when I hit my enemy.

Relentless passive skills give me great hope to survive when my life is at 20% left.
The other 2 passive I forgot the name d. It is thick as nail & boost my armour 100% from my life.

Its all depends here, if u wanna go pure tank, get ready to buy and stack up all your EQ with All resist (minimum 50) modifer. But you will sacrifice dmg and ur DPS wont be high. With my build, I cant go solo in Inferno, cuz I have low dmg. Too much pain, not enough profit...

But if you want to tank and blast more dmg. Make sure you got tons of gold and can buy an all in modifier EQ's.

me in inferno use : tough as nails + nerves of steel + relentless

Sprint and Furious charge is diff eh? I cant recall that, seldom use that both.

oh. later go home I check.

ur all resist?

o oh. dats not a good news

nice stats there.

well, its all about your selection of active and passive skills and of course, your gear itself and the way you wish to play. Do you want to be pure DPS barb? Like wise, U just select for all attack in your passive skill selection, same goes to your active skill.

On the other side,

How much gold you have now? Why dont you wait untill lvl 60 and try inferno. Then only you decide to customize your build. Meanwhile you just play with your fren and try to reach lvl60 and beat Diablo in Hellmode ASAP.

Cuz I regret spent so many gold before I reach lvl60 (cuz I want to try this and that) and later found out I still have to change my gear to survive in Inferno.

Just my2cent.

hmm, before the new patch, there is a way to gain more gold by doing repetitive quest/grind in same place again agaian and again. But now I dont think so that way still can. I never tried it anyway.

IMO, best way to earn gold is equip as many GF item and just explore all map and do all quest and event. At same time, you gain experience.

I tot someone in here before, posted that he can achieve bout 800k dmg with buff and earthquake. not sure if that post are still here.

^this one.

My suggestion for u to get an EQ's that have GF modifier is redirect to your question. Make sense what.

if u really cant keep up now, spend a bit gold to improve your hero la. Or, check back or revamp your passive and active skills. But if can keep up, just stick to current EQ's. Play with frens, so that you will have a sidekick.

Reason we told u to power leveling until lvl 60 quickly cuz by dat time u will try inferno and u will shitbrixx. So, u will want to change ur build by then and during that time, i can say most of item for inferno compatible is quite expensive.

Buying to improve your toon b4 lvl 60 is ok, but just dont be too IMBA or OP before reach lvl60. Imagine you spent alot of gold b4 reach lvl60/inferno and finally you regret cuz u realized your gear is not compatible to play in inferno.

But pls remember, in the end, it is up to you to choose your playing style. We can only suggest.

if you can keep up with your current difficulty, just go with the flow. But if you can equip some GF item, dat will be a huge bonus i must say.

I still remember when i was at lvl 45-55, I ignore the GF item, yea I can keep up and kill mob easily, but I dont earn much gold. While my fren, he got some GF% and he is like starting to equip and maintan to equip GF item since his at lvl 40++. He is filthy richer than me when both of us reach lvl60. And fact is, I must thanks to him cuz when ever I play with him, I will leech some of his GF%. If i play solo, I wont get much gold.

Spent gold wisely is a crucial in D3. I believe u will see your gold balance growing from time to time, especially when u reach lvl 60 later. Dont worry, we all experienced all dat before

Inferno act 2 is damn pain

now i have :

820 all resist (after shout)
7500 armor (after shout)
45k life
dmg 5k only (i let my coop DPS to dish out the attack)

act 1 inferno i can do endurance tank when vs elite mobs
act 2 inferno vs elite mobs i like a tofu.

high all resist and high VIT no longer secure survivalbility in inferno act 2. (for a tanker)
i suspect, maybe I need to get : x% reduce melee attacker, x% chance to block and x% dmg reduction vs elite

all above item, mostly can only be found in legendary item.

eh, r u going for tanker build? looking at your VIT and low DMG, look like you are going to be a tanker? Frankly speaking, not many ppl prefer to be a tanker, cuz we will have a low dmg and we take forever to kill mob.
