Rotten Luck. It happens on lower mp and even on mp9. The only guaranteed way is mp10. Barb is by far the easiest to encounter Sokahr. Btw, what mp are you running on. Also, CD is a huge stat to not have especially running HOTA build. I think amulet should come with CD because it gives 100% CD stat, you can not have it on rings but personally ammy is a must have. Also, running WW build, there are breakpoints to meet so AS is also very important if your going to run WW with Double Tornados which is at least 2.5BP>

It's almost time for me to clear out my barb items. Gonna be running monk after this.

Changes coming for barb... This are not the final changes though and this are Datamined data. After reading all the nerfs on barb forum.. everything has been nerfed to the ground. No more fury generators.

Let's take a look at the changes in order of importance.

Thrive on Chaos : Gain 248 Life per Fury gainedspent while under the effects of Wrath of the Berserker

Ok...this is gonna hurt. Thrive on chaos no longer extends the duration of wrath of the berserker. It will indeed be an "only for emergencies" type thing now. No more permawrath. We will need to figure out some good answer to crowd control effects. That's the real problem at hand above everything else. If anyone from Blizzard might be reading this, please consider giving us means to reduce the cooldowns on ignore pain, ground stomp, and similar.



No more whirlwinding at movement speed. This looks bad, but what it will primarily hurt is efficiency. What's important in terms of utility is being able to cut through mobs, which presumably will still be possible.



Into the fray as we know it is dead. This is okay, because a) so is permawrath and b) it's not that important for the purpose of fury generation. Mighty weapons will presumably become much more important, as will the IK set bonus, and any other fury generating items.



A major nerf, but somewhat warranted. I think it should likely be retuned to around ~50-60% health as the threshold instead.



Considering all the other nerfs, losing 7% damage with a sword, and 10% crit chance with an axe/mace are going to be the least of our concerns. I suspect mighty weapons are going to end up being the mainhand of choice anyways.



This prevents glass cannon gearing by downplaying the imbalanced effect of lifesteal at ultra-high DPS levels. I It will frustrate a lot of people, but IMHO it was necessary. This also has the possible positive benefit of putting lesser-geared players on par with higher-end ones from a pure survivability standpoint.



Similar to above. Puts more importance on vitality/life%. Probably will be unimportant in future end-game gear.

I think there's nothing to worry about. Nerf will come with different buff in different areas. Build Possibilities is going to be damn interesting but I will be missing the MOBILITY

My 6.0cc str mempo sold, My trifecta IK gloves just put up on AH. Clearing out my barbie. I got 2nd grade replacement item so my barb still can farm mp10 lar for fun

Yeah lar.. don't want to keep stuff anymore. Anyway, 2.0 no AH. Don't need so much gold. Just for crafting and so on.

Yeah man. The time has come. Anyway, playing monk lots now so can do without the gears lar


If crafted items weren't BoA, the AH die lar.. kekeke.. gloves, ammy, bracers, shoulders sure dam cheap

Gonna keep some for mp10 runs lar.. heheh.. not selling everything.

Barb is diablo's favourite child, I am very sure Blizz will not let it die just like that. More build diversity will be definitely coming. The question is, will barb be as mobile as before?

After selling all my gears, I came up with a new barb. It's a SHE! Not all my gears but after checking the AH, it's unbelievable how cheap to put up a set like mine. Steamrolling MP10 even with decent gear only.

200M only now. Last time used to be in the beezzz.. consider cheap with current economy isn't it?

48.5K dps over my trifecta ammy..... I shat in my pants

I think where weapons is concerned, its always ok to splash. Weapons are big on dps so getting a good one is always priority. Back then when i was poor, I saved up like mad to make sure I get a good weapon that's worth my gold. Good Weapon = Good DPS = Efficient farming.

1st advise, get rid of that leoric signet. The amount of xp you will be getting is good enough especially in party's without the ring. A replacement ring to buff your dps and ehp by a mile hence allowing you to farm xp efficiently. Your ehp is wayyyyy too low and your Vit definitely needs a major buff. I would prefer using a lifesteal skorn so that I can use better passive. Using bloodthirst very rugi one passive slot. Even a 4.+ LS of skorn is good enough together with immortal king's belt but for a skorn user, definitely recommend using WH for the additional AS.

That ring would give you a major buff. Of course if possible try to get 550+ AR & 50k HP. That would be minimum to play comfortably. Skorn change will good for you as Barbs only have 1 free passive slot. Ruthless and Weapon Master is unfortunately a perma fixture so it's best to free up that slot and not use blood. That my friend has 2 options :

1 ) Use WH means you need above 5 LS skorn or

2 ) Immortal King belt + 4LS skorn

I would suggest option 1. It makes a big difference to have extra AS especially when you're running Whirlwind. If you gear up well, you may even be able to change to SoJ ring which gives a huge boost. I suggest crafting is your cheapest option to getting good DPS and eHP. Farm DE's like mad and craft. If got extra gold, get a mempo with CC, 3.0 CC also ok. Also, keep in mind that everytime your DPS goes up, so does the MP you need to play in. If you overpower the monsters, you won't be able to generate any fury but to be able to play higher mp, you need more eHP. Balance is the key.

Finally! time to paragon level another tooN! Gratz

Once upon a time i rolled it from a bunch of UNIDS. My barb wore it for a while then I finally sold it. I think i bought about 20 UNID mempo's if I can recall.

Yeah lar. just play at own leisure is best. All those godly gears won't be so godly anymore di. Time to move on. I wonder what's install for barb in RoS. Might want to play barb again but at the moment, I can't HOTA and WW anymore.... cannot tahan

Finally got back to playing barb. Spent 800M to get some gears and running skorn build. WW Rend Hota FTW!

I think should be geared enough to jump into RoS playing at the highest difficulty possible with current gear. As far as i know, drops are better at higher difficulty level so if geared enough to jump straight into torment will be good.

Yeah, i'm almost 100 on my 4th character and 5th already at plvl40. Hopefully can make 5 before RoS. Torment to survive maybe can but to kill.. errrrr.... think need to think again.
