Yea I'm farming act 3 very comfortably as ww barb. Let me know if you have some questions or need help
I'm rocking act 3 with my melee wiz but I have a friend who never was able to farm act 3 with his barb, so I thought I might help him with a viable build. Do you have any screens of your eq, stats and skills? : )

Not $250?
Just kidding. I'd rather get gold for it than $12 if it means I can gear up my character better.
DH weapons finaly hitting a price roof ? Every 4 digit dps xbow with a tiny bit of dex/vit/crit dmg was 100+ millions last month
Price check? Seems there's no similar stat weapon with this high a DPS. I filtered conservatively with 100 Dex, 200 Vit, 50 Crit Damage and got 1065 max dps on the auction house (15mil bid/20mil buyout with no one bidding). And then when I filter 150 dex/ 250 vit, the AH has 935dps max. How would you price this?

Some offers for the weapon I found... with one being a troll offer of 900mil, lol.
Sure. I put together an album with my stats (unbuffed and buffed) and all my equipment in a photo album:

Alright mans, I read through the thread a bit but didn't find any helpful info so I figured I would go ahead and ask. Are there any good sites for character builds or tips for inferno and all that?
I just picked up the game about 5 days ago and I've been glued to my Barbarian, have had a ton of fun. But, given how easy it has been I hadn't bothered seeking out any info and had just been setting up my character for whatever I was having fun with at the time. That has served me well all the way through act 1 inferno with very little trouble... but now in act 2 after a fucking normal wasp murdered me outside of the desert town I assume I need to actually get serious with my gearing and ability loadout.
No idea what to do though, looked around a few websites and I couldn't find anything really all that helpful and wasn't sure if what I had found was out of date or not either.

There is some decent guides for inferno Barbarian builds on the official forums, but you have to search for them due to the item price check/trading spam. The biggest thing for moving up to Act 2 is getting the proper gear. Skill and a good build will help, but having solid gear helps more than anything else. Once you get the proper gear everything becomes much easier, although the bees are still annoying due to them running away so often. I dont think the bees would be that bad if they didnt move around so much. A champion pack with fast, reflect damage with shield or invulnerability is a waste of time for me and I just skip them. A bad build will make inferno tougher, but high end gear makes up for almost any short comings with builds or skill.
This is a decent guide to start off with.

/r/diablo3strategy is a good subredit for stuff like that. If you have questions you can post and people are usually pretty friendly
Thanks for the help gents, I had found that one guide on diablofans but I wasn't sure if it was up to date or not since this WW barbarian stuff seems to be all the rage currently. Will start gearing up and such when I can, still pretty low on gold right now since I haven't even had the game a full week yet haha.

Just had a complete brainfart and bought out the wrong item for 2.5m (basically all my gold). It's not even much good.

Given the luck I've had selling anything lately (getting to 2.5m took about a week) I'd be surprised if I get 500k for it.

I ended up just putting it on the auction house for a starting bid of 10mil. We'll see how it goes from there.

crit damage could be higher but you can easily get a ton for that because of the high dex, really high vit, and dps.

I haven't sold shit this week. My gold is now under 1 mil. :/
Only downside is the bid ends around maintenance time... I'm guessing auctions don't halt while the servers are down?
I don't do minimum bids only anymore.
A lot of people have wised up to the art of bid sniping. I put a piece that was worth in the 10s of million but I put a min bid of 3 million only. It sold for exactly that much. I haven't put a min bid since then and I have been making decent money.

Can this go for a good amount? (Upgrade doesn't reflect any of my character's, little brothers Barb)
I'm at work so I can't check for myself, but do a search for one-handers on AH together with min value 300 strength , 100 vit and 90 crit chance. Sort by DPS.
Did that and one came up for 13 mill, had higher dps but 45 chance to crit instead, I'm assuming mine could go more.

I had some decent luck this weekend farming act III. Got a ring that sold for 12 million.
I'm enjoying MP too. PLayed with Cebo and Vossler again. Played with Linsivvi this weekend for a second too. Playing with two monks and having two Manra's rocks.

Yeah ... seriosuly.
This really makes discussing one's character easier on forums like this. Anyone need any gearing recomendations or something like that can easily just link their accounts now.
ON a side note, I'm compeltely blown away that a WW barb, with less DPS and armor than my monk is SOOOO much more effective at farming act III. I've seen your video of you pulling multiple packs.
WW barb is pretty powerful.

Oh finally no more tedious screenshotting of gear, thank god.
Okay someone tell me what's wrong with my character, I followed you guys' advice and sacrificed some INT so I could get more crit chance, but it's still not good enough even to cope with Act 1 Inferno, what gives?

Your defense seems too low. You should probably try to increase your all resist stat and your vitality a bit more. Instead of ice armor, use energy armor (force armor if you still get one shot, or prismatic if you don't).
You might want to switch to a blizzard/hydra kiting build for now, since it's not that gear dependent. Defense is not as crucial in a kiting build since the object is to not get hit anyway.
http://www.reddit.com/r/Diablo3Strategy/comments/wgc6b/wizard_general_guide_for_wizards_in_inferno/
Or you can try and experiment with a critical mass, tornado/nova wizard
http://www.thatsyogarbage.com/diabl...he-wind-up-wizard-build-with-inferno-gameplay
You can test out the critical hit wizard build for cheap, just buy some magic items on the AH with max or near max crit, (helm, gloves, bracers, source or shield, 2 rings and ammy) it probably shouldn't cost more than 5k a pop. Then go to Hell and give it a spin.

Yep, 7 packs at once is a pretty good sign that the build is strong. It's not as crazy as some of the builds I've used in the past, though, because you actually need good gear with this one.
I'm able to get by with less armor/HP/all resist since my life regen due to life on hit and life steal is pretty high.
Also, when I party with my wizard friend, it's a lot safer due to all the CC freezes.

There's a lot wrong.
1) Get more +All resists. You hardly have any. I'm not sure about EU market, but you can get cheap armor pieces (10k or less) with at least 30-40 +resists, 80-100 Int, and Vit. For Act 1, you should aim for at least 150-200 +resists, and 250-300 for Act 2. Also note, gloves and helm for wizards can reach a max of 300 Int. It's a bit unorthodox that you actually have less Int on your gloves and helm than your other armor pieces. It's normally the other way around.
2) Not sure who advised you to get more crit chance, as resists should've been your #1 priority. In fact, the most popular cookie-cutter wizard build doesn't require any crit chance (Blizz/Venom Hydra). You need crit chance though to make a melee wizard work, and later, it becomes the best way to pump your DPS. But even a melee wiz needs good resists/armor to survive.
3) Dump Ice Armor, it's terrible. Pick up Energy Armor (Force Armor) rune as your armor spell. Drop Frost Nova for Teleport (Fracture). You can keep Diamond Skin, or swap it out for Mirror Images (Diamond Skin is actually only good once you have high resists/armor, which you do not). Drop Wave of Force for Venom Hydra. And lastly, Disintegrate is not a good skill for Inferno until you're better geared as it isn't suitable for kiting. Either go with Blizzard or Arcane Orb, whichever you prefer.
4) As for passives, once you pick up Teleport (and MI, if you so chose), take the Illusionist passive, and drop Prodigy. Astral Presence is better than Prodigy anyway, if you wanted an AP generator, as it also negates the downside to Energy Armor. Galvanizing Ward is a fine choice, as is Temporal Flux, but if you choose a Blizzard spec, swap out Flux for Coldblooded. As you get better geared, you can dump Galvanizing Ward for Glass Cannon.

I have the monk build for inferno, 30k life, 850 all res when I'm buffed, 5k base armor, up to 7500 when I hit...
Yet, I can't pass Act 2...

Health is kind of low, are you using lots of crit dmg and %? it made a huge difference for me killing things faster after the jump to act 2.
Here's my shitty Monk. I probably only played a month, if that, of D3 before I bailed out.

Get some resists up to 400 at least and around 800 Life on hit.

You're health is lowish, but I did all of act II and III including Ghom with the same.
What are you skills?
For reference I farm Act II with 650 resists, 25K life and like 4500 armor and shred through things.
EDIT: link your profile so we can see your character.
Any advice for me? Just started Act 2 Inferno and getting my ass kicked just a bit.

I beat the game with my WD: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/BarelyOK-2277/hero/2969907.
To me it looks like you need more defense.
