High Dps Farming

[chutch93]

I am currently farming act 3 as a tank style barbarian. i keep seeing posts of people farming with 50k plus dps. the only way i see being able to do that without investing hundreds of millions in gold is to sacrifice massive amounts of damage metigation stats. i dont see how act 3 farming is doable with 2 1 handers or 1 two hander and the sacrifice of these stats for crit and crit dmg. if i grab 1.5k life on hit or even more i still dont see how that makes the bot effective when if the bot doesnt get to use revenge or a life saving ability fast enough one will surely die without a shield. also i dont see how people are able to sacrifice superstition or nerves of steel. if anyone has any tips on how i should gear to farm for more $ let me know as i currently am only doing 20k dps but i rarely die.

There is a barb act 3 gear discussion http://www.thebuddyforum.com/demonb...-3/67290-barb-stats-required-run-act-3-a.html

I have two barbs around 75k DPS. Crithit gear with str/vit/allres, and 1300dps 2hander with 150+crit damage and a socket.

All res is low, like 800 buffed.
Almost nothing as far as life on hit. Did not look for LOH when buying gear.
55k HP.

Very rarely die. Would die less if Rend worked like I would want it to. (Cast on anything that doesnt already have it over head)

Probably 30m invested per bot, with the occasional drop getting equipped instead of sold.

Clears Act3 in under 45minutes.

I bought a 30M 1200dps 1hander, boom 60k dps unbuffed. Good investment, since I get 20% more ilvl 63 rares per hour. Sacrificed some LoH but I'm still at 0.5dph or so...
