I'll try to increase my armor to 7050+ (or 6000 after patch 105).
Can't increase DPS until i can spot a better weapon.

I'll revamp my Barb too. Probably spend 20-30m on my Barb.
It is my last hero that requires "overhaul".

Blizz will release a better gears in the next patch and our existing gears will devalue eventually.

My Barb's gears are all obsolete already.
So bloody old school. Even the shield looks old school too.

i.e. 800DPS weapon with STR + socket.
You want it?

I don't focus playing 1 character nowadays.

I have one run with my monk, one run with my Witch Doctor, one run with my Wizard etc.
Some of my co-op members are doing the same.
We play different characters and it is quite fun sometimes.

All of my heroes are able to farm comfortably in A3/A4, except the Barb.
A total rework on my Barb is required.

Added on September 21, 2012, 10:47 amThis is what I'm worried about too.
Just like the pre 103 patch.
Remember most of the Barbs got stuck in A2? Many of them KOed in 1-2 hits in A3.

I sold my shield for 200K (not a stormsheid though).
1100 armor / 8x DEX & VIT / 70 AR / 10% crit chance.

Problem is, not many people have Tyrael Might.

I think you just sell it and get another Tyrael Might with STR at AH.

Let my Witch Doctor heal your Summerfist.

Most people are over-gear now.
Only above average items are easy to sell.

By the way, not all arcane the same.
Some are mosquito bite. Some kill you in one blow (if you have no life regen).

Generally push up your LOH will do.

General speaking, with 2.0 IAS, it does help.
You should do fine.

By the way, what's your HP/Armor/AR?

Combination of high weapon DPS/CC/CD/IAS and DEX.

I have one Tal Rasha chest armor. You get another Tal Rasha gear.
Together we can achieve the achievement.

Just wonder, is this a buffed stat?
It seems you have high armor.

Look at the armor/dex/str, they are not exactly high.
How do you get 7500 armor?

Good build.

Why I said that?
Generally 2 reasons.
I play with few 100K DPS melee players (both barb & monk), they still die. And it's quite common that they are killed by normal white mobs (especially Barbs that run low on HP + out of fury ).
There are some elites that can bash you flying or pull you towards it and if you ended landing on arcane - you die.

With high LOH, generally you can just whack with arcane/poison/fire under your feet.
(Note: To regain life from either LOH/LS, you need a monster to hit. You are dead if you hit air )

M2K2Land's speedy attack + LOH is good.
I used to play with a 2H monk with high attack speed at public game. Very tankable too.

There are still rooms to grow.
Upgrade all your emerald.

Hold your horses, you will get a godly ring attached to your account in patch 105.

I revamped my Barb recently. I didn't upgrade one of the rings. Patiently wait for 105.

P/S If you upgrade +58 emerald, I think you can get additional few Ks of DPS.

Yes, I think the profile is updated upon logging off.
I did it many times whenever I changed my gear.

Refer to the 1st post, there is a guide on how to beat Ghom.

You can check with cowithgun or Quazacolt on the gears. I can't remember their build.

To tank, you need LOH/LS or both.
I'll leave that to you to decide.

There are many types of elites. Each group has different damage.
Not all arcane the same. Not all plague the same. Not all fire the same.
So, it is really difficult to tell whether you can tank elites or not.

Based on my experience, you can use Ghom as a benchmark.
If you can tank Ghom, you can tank elites (arcane/poison/fire) in general.

Can't really tell how many LOH/LS you need either.
Because it depends on your DPS & attack speed too. If you can kill fast, you don't need to tank long.
So, you may need lower LOH/LS.
Anyway, do some testing and you will know your build can tank or not.

Added on September 26, 2012, 2:56 pmLooking at your build, low DPS and low HP.
I think your armor (with shield) is not exactly high too.

Low DPS because you virtually has ZERO crit chance/crit dmg.
