Help me fix my barb for act1 champ packs

[sojufiend]

i dont even use a shield and i have less resist then you and my barb never dies in an 8 hour run. I use Leap with armor rune i use ignore pain with iron hide rune, revenge with provacation, Warcry with impunity, frenzy with maniac and wotb with insanity. But i have 44k unbuffed dps with 700 resist all. i have 500% crit hit damage and 47% crit chance. i use Superstition and weapon master nerves of steel.

this is pretty much it. except i honestly dont even find need for leap or ignore pain.

Turn off all avoidance and set tick per second to 20 .

Using 30 ticks per second atm, with all avoidance off.
It's not 100% of the time, but watching the bot it's often slow as hell (and will even let frenzy fall off, its so slow)

So what do you guys suggest? Should I change my build?

Yes.

Either go for as much dps as you can pack and get it to the point where mob packs die in > 3 secs, or go more defensive.

ignore pain is rubbish, leap/ironimpact is a lot better (300% extra armour 40% of the time is *huge*) also check whether Nerves of Steel is better than Tough as Nails - (it ought to be with that much vitality) and the thorns boost from Nails isn't worth worrying about. Superstition is a great passive, though with resists that high you might not need it, and wepaons master with an axe might well be better to stick with.

I'd also drop sprint and pickup EQ/mountains call - whenever you drop a WotB EQ it melts things.

FWIW I run the latest test release of Belph and keep arcane avoidance and spore avoidance (dam poison trees) on and other avoidance off and die ~once an hour, your DPS is higher than mine, your LoH is better, and your all res is about 3x what I have. I have 8k armour, and better block amount (armour is a cheaper version of all res more or less)

I increased ticks per second from 10 to 17, and it seems to be doing better? What does TPS do?

@Flyingtoo - Not going to requote your post, but there are a few points I would like to make:

Of course he's planning on standing in shit, avoidance is freaking broken. The idea is to overcome the damage caused by those effects with life regeneration, which comes from multiple sources. If you're having trouble surviving, you need to generate more life. Revenge is a huge source of regeneration, especially when surrounded by champions or minions. Even if there are no normal monsters, you're typically surrounded by 3 or 4 champions or rare/minion monsters, so every third hit you take, your revenge goes off and heals 15-20% of your total life. Basically, your healing increases the more things that are trying to kill you.

If you're using frenzy, why in the world would you want to knock enemies back? You advised against revenge, but it knocking back would also be countereffective with using revenge.

You mention sprint as an evasion tool... you did notice that he's using Demonbuddy, right? And making a botting char? Sprint is just for running across the map faster, and chasing down those aggravating ranged champ archers and retching things that like to back off. I timed runs through act 1 a few days ago to try and judge whether sprint/marathon is worth having, and it lowers my run times by about 20%. With the same number of elites killed, that's 25% more profit overall. Sprint/marathon should be the absolute last thing you ditch for survivability, and if you're using something like Profile Switcher, it may even be worth a few deaths.

TPS increases the speed at which the bot runs. The higher the value the more cycles the bot completes in a given timeframe so it'll attack more frequently, do more dps and gain more life from LoH. I have mine set to 40.
