That's Expensive.. Here Is my gear, I tried to offset one piece with another (max on one, max on the other) to save money but still building a good gear set.
Are those your buffed or unbuffed stats?

I'll comment more later, but step 1 is upgrade your weapon. You don't need that much LoH when your dps is so low. Get the highest dps weapon with a socket you can afford and put the best LoH gem you can find in it.
what the fuck are you supposed to do?TheDancingWatermelon

Soooo someone just put this up for 20k; even had the 1d12h showing.
So I've been on vacation for the past 2+ weeks but check this thread pretty much nightly much to my gf's chagrin.
Just got home and checked my gear. I think I'm the worst equipped level 60 around haha.
Average level of my gear is ~50, my bracers are from level 27.
Anyways, now that I'm about to enter Inferno I know I need better gear.
Anyone have a decent 1hander for sale cheap? Mine is only 400dps.

Wouldn't that make me die quicker?
Post your buffed stats too

Well every piece needs a major upgrade but even if you had 100k hp with 1000 all resist with that kind of dps you'd still die imo.
With decent dps and sprint tornadoes at least you can kill stuff this way. Its going to be difficult tanking anything with a group without at least 5 major upgrades, so just do it 1 at a time and start with the weakest link imo
How much do you have to spend? If its not at least 2m, id say keep saving. And if it is at least 2m, id say use it on EXPENSIVE gear that has every stat in high quantity
Spent about 400k in the AH last night to setup my Barb for inferno. Here are the stats
Still haven't bought a weapon yet. Still rocking the one I got in an Act 4 drop in Hell
I have 1.2M~ left and am wondering what I should look out for for a weapon? I was going for an attack per second/LoH build with tons of all res.
Will this be enough for Act 1/2? What will I need to improve for 3?

I have 1.3 million.. problem is even with 2 million the good gear on the AH costs 5-6 Million +..
What's the DPS for a weapon and LOH that I should want? I don't care if I have to save, I'd rather just get it out of the way, the other stuff I can snipe cheaper.
Just wanted to beat this before the nerf, or be able to farm Whimshyre... lol

bitch I'm taking calls.
So with the upcoming nerf to attack speed should I be looking for replacement gear and selling anything that has attack speed % now before Tuesday?
I have a shit load of attack speed stacked on my main so I'm pretty much going to be back to square one gear wise after Tuesday's patch.

Get rid of Sprint unless you don't intend to face tank.
The more health you have the more opportunity to cast Revenge, to block, to dodge, etc.
You only need 900-1k resists with Impunity for Act 3.
I'd also use Leap in place of Charge for the moment because the only heal you need is Revenge. Leap works better as a defensive cooldown and also mobility/initiation.
Wow just reminded me that Blizz is nerfing IAS, damn I have to rethinking my Barb's build now

I actually made a bit of progress into Act 3 with my dual-wielding DPS build. Fun stuff. Honestly, when it comes to those damn flying things and their fireballs, I don't seem to take any more damage from them without my tank gear. I think those damn things just ignore all defensive attributes or something.
I'm at 27k DPS now, but I've got 41% crit chance and 210% critical hit damage modifier.

Thats not that bad in all honesty, how much did you end up paying for it?
Is there a reason you're carrying around every potion every made? :lol
*all images are things I found right now on AH so prices are probably high or low depending on how "lucky" I was at the time of my searches
Based on your stats and equipment, I'd say the primary focus you should have right now is upgrading your weapon. It'll make a huge difference in boosting the amount of damage you do. I know people throw around numbers with 900 LoH, etc. etc. but if you kill stuff significantly faster, you won't need that LoH. 900 LoH total isn't going to counteract some of the burst damage anyway. Sometimes I run up to 1500 LoH and I still drop HP much faster than I can regen even with tornadoes doing extra work for me.
I would probably try to get something like this:
3.5m
This has been sitting on AH for a while now at 3.5 million. If you shopped around and waited you could probably snag one for around 2-3 but the key stats are at least 500 LoH or a socket, base stats (str/vit). If you can snag a good DPS cold weapon, I'd get that over anything else if you play in a group a lot.
After you get your weapon you'll want to upgrade your amulet. something like this:
800k
You can probably get a better one. Now you're going to lose +life% but we'll make up for that next.
I would probably target a socketed Helm of Command. The stats are kind of up to you on this one. Base rolls are VIT, Block%. Allres brings the price up a lot but the entry cost on a socketed one without all res is pretty low. Socket an amethyst into the helmet to make up for amulet loss)
800k
Next I would start replacing your blue items with combo pieces to even out your STR/VIT/RES pieces. 60/60/60 is incredibly cheap (200-500k) but 70/70/70 is pretty affordable too (700k-1m ea). I think the first goal you should set would be to get your STR/VIT to 1k:1k. Keep in mind that you get armor for strength so just because your role isn't to DPS doesn't mean you should be skimping out on it.
After that you'll probably have to reevaluate to see what you need most but it should make things pretty comfortable especially if 1.0.3 comes out Tuesday and completely obliterates most of the insane burst damage in A3.
1.3 million, was just posted with 1d 12H left, in and around 6 million dollar weapons..
Not necessarily. ASI is still going to be good, you just need even more of it now if you want to break records. I'd say go out of your way to stack even more! :lol
I like to extra space for my stash.. lol

Thats quite a deal imo. Obviously it's not the highest weapon dps, but solid stats and LOH for 1.2 million, you can't go wrong with that. Nice being in the right place at the right time on the AH eh? :lol
Yep, I've been searching for an upgrade for a week, but was trying to keep same LOH and raise DPS at same time.. prices were never coming down. The DPS 460 Axe I had been using, I bought for 250k... It's worth way more as well.
It'd be nice to be able to farm Whimshyre, so I can get some more money. Guess I'll go back to Act 2 and goblin farm.
Thought the rumor was Tuesday.
Buffed. Moving my right ring and my amulet to res all would probably put me in the 840 range for res all
Unfortunately this doesn't stop one handed crossbows from being outrageously priced.
840 buffed? you need much more than that.
Still a pussy always cuz of the story lol
You want to be around 900-1k resis, 10k armor (w/ enchantress) for A3 imo unless you plan on doing 50-100k dps then anything goes.
So right ring, neck and one piece to get to 900. Still, my amulet and ring are both IAS, this will murder my DPS
Might as well get used to it now.

Im only at about 900 buffed. I made a conscious decision to lose some of my resist in exchange for more dps. Im even thinking about getting an Ouroboros if i can ever find one for a decent price, and ill probably lose another 50 or so resist from that
Depends what you can handle. If you can't do anything in A3 then A2 gobs is the best spot. If you can efficiently kill stuff in A3 then that's better to do for the better drops.
Work on surviving first, DPS second or just go straight DPS now and hope you won't need as much defense for 1.0.3.
Here are the stats that I clear A3 with "easily" btw:
Last Time I was in Act 3.. as a group we couldn't kill most elites..
On another note for Act 3 I like using cleave, as you hit more demons per swipe, also get more LOH per swipe than frenzy, at least that's how I felt. Switch back to Frenzy for Elites.
Sure, I can help.

quick question guys:
Is there any disadvantage to having a follower with you at all times?
Is there any disadvantage to having a follower with you at all times?
They can pull aggro when you don't want to, especially with goblins, but other than that, no. You don't take a hit to XP, or anything. Oh, and the Enchantresses hex spell is bugged and can turn you into a chicken. So pick the other ability when you use her.
