Trying to find the optimal balance between survivability + speed + items. For those with experience, if you could share your feedback that would be great

Here are my stats
275% mf
70k unbuffed
7000 armor (8200 with war cry)
600-700 resist all (800 with war cry)
41.5% crit
261% crit dmg
axe/shield
very limited LOH and life steal
currently revenge/rend running act 3 profile

A) Should i stick with revenge/rend or WW build?
B) What MP should i run for act 3 profile
C) if you could post your barbs stats + build + average time per run+ death per hour+ items per hour that would be great!

thanks again!

What's your crit chance? If it's high enough you could go with WW route. I have a ww 2-hander with 93k unbuff, 24% MS that gets between 550-600 items an hour. I have S/B ww barbs too that get around 450-500 items an hour but they have way less unbuff dps than yours; one has 35%+ crit chance while the other 45%+

About LoH and LS limitations, it's not that big of a deal if you're running MP0-1. My 2-hander has 300 LoH and 2.5 LS, dies about 1-2 times an hour (data gathered after 18h run time)

IMO ww is the way to go, almost doubled my item per hour when I switched from Rend. Your barb looks super solid enough to demolish a3. MP0-1 is the best simply due to efficiency.

Edit: Also I set my bots to pick up every single rare. Don't really know how much it affects my item per hour stats with all the time spent in town.

i have 41.5% crit and 261% crit dmg. whats ur average time per full run for ur barbs?
 
sorry another thing, whats the "new" ww build after 1.0.5? thanks!
 
Not sure how long it takes but less than an hour. Can't give you an accurate reading cause my bots aren't running at a super flawless rate. There's no new ww build, just use the same build you've always used. Try switching skills around here and there, like I have Bash with Pulverize instead of Instigation. Or switch out WoTB for Overpower instead, or remove War Cry and replace that with Overpower (my 2-hander has 600-700 resist after buff)

A) Rend/revenge was good for lesser geared barbs in 1.0.4, but now that act 3 MP 0 is incredibly easy, you should be able to run a WW build pretty easily.

B) 0. My WW barb has 140k DPS, 0 DPH, 748-882 res, and I'm still botting him on act 3 MP 0. Faster runs = more mobs killed = more chance for good drops. Found an IK chest last night that with the stats could have easily sold for $150 (decided to use it though, was a bit of an upgrade to my previous IK chest). And I'm getting about 15-23 mil XP/hour (31% ruby + hellfire ring).

So if you want to go WW it's pretty simple, your gear isn't too bad for it but a few important things:

45%+ crit
350%+ crit dmg
1k+ loh (~800 offhand, ~200 somewhere else), 2.5%+ ls (belt)
 
Interesting, hadn't seem those numbers. Will try swapping my OH for a LS one then I guess!
 
Somewhat subjective as I've literally just done this and watched bot for 5 mins, but LS does look like a big improvement over LOH for WW warr at least :)
 
So I ran some builds to test out. Thanks for everyone's input. Here are my results

2x axe ww
By replacing shield, I went from 70k dps to about 97k
5500 armor unbuff
550-650 ar
41.5 crit
360 crit dmg
Just 2.9 life steal
1 run took me 45mins on mp1, 1 death and 570 items dropped

I also tried the ww build with my original stats, took me 53mins, 0 death and 450 items. This was pretty similar to my rend revenge build.

I guess 2x weapon ww is better, here is my build if anyone can make t better please let me know. Thanks!

Frenzy maniac
Ww hurricane
Sprint run like the wind
War cry impunity
Battle rage fray
Overpower ca

Ruthless
Weapon master
Superstition
