Hi!
I got 130 m to spend on upgrades for my barb to run inferno act 3 more efficiently.
What should I upgrade or look for?

Screenshot with stats, spec and items: http://i50.tinypic.com/67qq2r.jpg

Schaef?r instead of Skorn?
Dual wield with high loh?
1h with stormshield?
More cc?

The goal for me would be to spend around 50 m and not die more than 5 times/run. (it's currently like 25+ or so...) but if it would cost more that's okay too.
 
Buy

+1000 dps 1 socket axe ( most times you can get +200 vit almost for free on weapons ) ~ 35m
90% Crit gem ~ 7m
+30 block Stormshield ~ 15m
+50 AR Helmet of Command ~20m
17% Life gem ~6m

Upgrade equiptment to get
800 AR
8000 Armor
~50k life

Don't buy any single item for more than 7-8m. If you cannot get to these stats change your skills to Nerves of steel + Tough as nails.

Dmg should be +30k dps

Change battle rage to Leap with Iron Impact

This would give you 0-1 DPH in act 3 with much better result. Its a borring build, but it really works.
 
id go with what he said... 1h + shield build works very very well

could also grab a 3% ls belt

and also i like battle rage - swords
 
Thanks for replying, very specific... just what i wanted! I'm going for what you guys said and I'll post results later tonight.
Thankss!

EDIT: Will this 1-handed do the job?

My A3 2h rend barbs only cost 10-20 mil to build and die 2-3 times an hour...

Dying 2-3 times an hour is way too much. You can spend a little more than that and die 0 times an hour. You would make that back and more in a day or two.

And I thought 4-5 deaths per hour was already the best? What's your secret?
1H + Shield, WW, DW Throw or 2H Rend?

1h and shield all the way but I could go 2H as well and still not die since the rest of my gear is good enough to keep me alive. And yeah, no way 4-5 deaths per hour is the best. Even when I first started doing Act3 I was at 1-2 deaths per hour and that was with semi bad gear.

Something like the below?
+1800 Str
+800 Vit
+24% Life
+800 All Resists
+40% Crit Chance
+325% Crit Dmg
+900 LoH
>40k DPS?
 
Actually 2-3 deaths an hour only costs you about 5 minutes of downtime at most per hour and when my bot does die, its to desecrator/waller/arcane bullshit. Sure I could double the amount of gold I invested into my barb to reduce downtime by 3 minutes an hour but that isn't going to "pay for itself in 1-2 days." When my fresh 60 barb with 10 mil of gear can slaughter elite packs in 15 seconds on a 2 minute cooldown with 2 dph, I think I've done well. Oh I should mention I found a weapon throw IK belt with vitality last night on my paragon 4 ghetto 2h barb. Anything above 3 dph is going to hurt you greatly but 1-3 is fine.
 
Alright... and WHAT to use when the barb is a HARDCORE char? lol... 0 deaths is a must... is it acceptable to simply let go of much of the STR/crit chance/crit damage in order to get more and more vit and resists??? Oh, and let?s not forget it should be practically lagproof and drop-conection proof (in essence, i believe it should be able to last at least around 20 seconds just standing there and looking pretty, while taking the punishment)...

If u r thinking about bot Inferno in HardCore then u r OUT of ur mind. even Barb with godly item cant prevent sudden death. When ur DB crashed in the mid of a elite pack then u r done.
