Lvl 24, act 2, using 1h+1h, so far smooth, got around 250 dps.

for now u shud use 1h + 1h, but later late game mode 2h will be greater than 1h + 1h..lv30 barb now, with bash-xtra dmg, whirlwind-xtra cyclone, ground stomp-xtra dmg, overpower-xtra axe, threatening shout-atk slow, call of ancient..reason being since i solo, my char get hits a lot so giving out debuff seems to be making me survive longer..my follower is templar coz he can heal and stun..xD

Hmmm am using 1hand weapon with shield... still in Act 1, did the 1h + 1h till health pots diminished XP

Is there any easy way to switch between your build, say from AOE build to single target stun build?

barbs, what is their average dps and armor reduction % and dodge chance %, for say a level 35 barb?

My Blood Bard tanker .

Suitable for Solo and Group play. Bashing faces in Nightmare without even the need to pop red potion.

Can tank thru Nightmare with ease. Damage is decent but cant compare to pure DPS build.

Survivability is exceptional. Extremely high HP with Vit gears, so much healing, healing and more healing.


Feel free to switch Frenzy out for Cleave in certain situations.

My biggest gripe in the game. They made everything simple except swapping between builds ROFL




Saw this build in D3 forums. How much is your HP and damage reduction?

Should be very common now since alot of ppl brought it up as scratch even b4 launch. My HP is currently in the 8k-9k range and around 65+- reduction. Could be higher but no luck with loots so far.

what is ur barbarian level o? dps = ?

Just hit lv21 this morning, sorta tanking build to protect my Wiz and DH friends.

Cleave + rupture rune. I missed Necro's Corpse Explosion, now I can boom boom with a barb.
Rend + bloodlust rune. For healing and more staying power in battle.
Ground Stomp + wrenching smash rune. Opening move for group of mob.
Revenge + Vengeance is Mine rune. Emergency healing.
Threatening Shout. Less damage = survive longer.
Earthquake. Stomp + Earthquake when blue/yellow monsters appear.

41 and i cant really remember my DPS, have to login to check cuz i've been paying attention more to the vit stacking and healing

deng u guys level up so fast.

Hope they include this 'hot swap' feature in the next update. I remember it's easier to swap builds during D2, just bind the numbers to your left and right mouse buttons.

barb reporting in!!

You must be a sword and board barb.

Currently, I am a dual wielding barb with 2.5k hp, 40% reduction and 260 dps.

wut is ur barb level?

seems like barbs have no problem facing off belial while monks tend to kena one shot if health not enough.

level 31 barb pulling about 290+ dps

using frenzy, rend, ground stomp, revenge, battle rage and berserk

passive: bloodthirsty, pound of flesh, ruthless

pretty much tearing through everything with a good hp regen

do u guys think dual wield dps warrior can survive at inferno?
at this current rate.. i think warrior only make to tank at end game...

Level 31. I love my barb

No lah, barbarians focus on reducing damage from hits, while monks focus on not getting hit.



Possible if you can outheal the damage, which I think barbs are very capable of doing.
