I'm running a lightning barb and I can't seem to get past T4. A nemesis shows up and I almost die instantly. I can clear T3 without dying to often besides those nasty packs with wall/freeze. What are some good sets of armor to sustain my barbs health? My DPS is a 1mill
Hmm, you probably need to get some more resistance. My barb is around 500k dps and I can do T6, but I have MoTE and enough cdr to spam leap again 0.7ish sec after my third leap ends (feels good when you have 6+ quakes going at the same time).
You will probably want to work on getting MoTE (Might of the Earth).
I can toss you one of my 2 SoH's since that should help you out (unless you are already running OS + TF).
You can try adding diamonds into your sockets, defensive passive (Rampage is pretty good for damage and mitigation).
Something that helps is a Skull of Resonance. It charms enemies when you use threatening shout, lasts the duration of TS, and works on elites. I got one from yesterday, but I'm going to need to save it for my Lightning WW build. That + the healing globe rune on TS + the healing globe on crit rune for battle rage = you will have a lot of healing.
Can also try some of the crafted sets (Augs give you damage reduction which will definatly help you). Also try to find a good Eye of Etlich and String of Ears. Getting both can give you 30% melee (the belt) and ranged (the amulet) damage reduction.
You will just have to mix and match gear and skills to you reach a good point. With all my cdr I have near permant CoTA with the 50% damage reduction rune.
You can add me if you are on PSN since I need more Barbs on my friends list, PSN: GAF_Omnicent
