and it's amazing! I have always setup my barbs with old school sword n board setups, thinking they would die if I didn't (I don't like trying new things, why it took me so long). I went from 35-40k dps sword n board to 127k dps 2H, what a difference! Trash and champ packs drop like flies now, and its smooth sailing without dieing.

Anyone using sword n board still, make the switch, you won't regret it. Does not even cost that much gold.
 
yeah 2h rend build prob cheapest but dual wield WW is where its at, items p/h is much more than 2H barb
 
you change too late, I think most of us change to WW dual or 2h build when 1.05 came

- How much gold did you spend to switch from S&B to 2H?
- How much is your Items Dropped Per Hour?
- How much $ do you earn per bot per day?

I only switched 2/5 barbs to 2H so far. Probably spent 15-20 mil per toon to upgrade from S&B. Pretty much just bought Skorn, IK belt, IK boots, IK gloves, IK helm, 2x stre/vit/cc/cd rings, and stre/vit/cc/cd amulet.

How do you check IPH?

Money per bot is too early to say, as I just got these guys newly leveled and geared 4-5 days ago. 5 of my accounts got banned the day before halloween, so these 5 are my new replacements. I have made a little over $100 so far with these new accounts though, and I still have maybe $100-$125 woth of items to sell. I was out of commission for a little over a week, and RMAH sales seemed to have taken a hit in that short time imo. Have not been able to go 24/7 because the downtime with auth servers this past week. Had to spend about $225 for 5x new D3 keys, and $80 worth of gold to get up and running again. Will probably break even in a few more days I suppose.

Use Giles Trinity and look under the plugin folder for *stats*.log.
You need to check your Deaths per hour also.
For me, 2H is a net loss in IPH and net gain in Death Rate, getting killed all over by Ranged Elites who kite you.
 
question about ww barb:
has your BB lost himself, if he ran too far away from the way points?
and do you have immortal sets?
