Hi guys! How are u guys doing? I have a barb and I have been doing T6 SCamp chest runs for the last 3 days atleast 8 a day off n on. My barb has about 450k damage unbuffed, 5k toughness, 15.5k healing. I have a 2hand sword that i got from chest runs that I now use. My paragon level is just lvl 55 atm. My question is...should I stop doing chest runs and do something else to be able to get Higher Stats Gears and Weapons? Or should I continue doing chest runs to get higher stats gears and weapons? What should I do next? Thanks guys I appreciate it.
 
I gave up on chest runs...missing the exp gain was not worth it.
act 4 bounty and rifts on as high as you can (I gauge it by deaths/hour, aiming for about 4, and can kill goblin)

Depends on your goals and current plvl/gear level. If you plan to play and bot the barb I have no idea... never botted a barb. If I were you I would start a WD and start running Act 1 normal bounties. Its really easy to jump into torment level stuff with crafted gear on a WD. From there you can farm para/act 1 bags/bloods with the WD while you bot and open/spend with your barb. That is how I would do.

So do u think i should do act 4 bounty and rifts instead to be able to get much higher stats gears and weapons as well as leveling up at the same time?

I dont have a WD yet. Should I startup a WD character and start bot quest leveling a WD and is it easy to level up from 1-70 with a WD? and then start doing bounties?

Leg drop rate changes not the stats in T levels.

Other issue is, if bliz throw a ban hammer @2.1 release, botting chest run over and over is likely to get noticed....sorry but no human is that bored to run chests 24/7 :D

If I were you I would restart with WD. There are not many characters who can overpower WD at the moment. It can be changed with new PTR 2.1 or whatever they call. Anyways, I started with wizard and found elite items such at WOW, ThunderFury, Hate of shard, mirror balls, frost burn etc... yet she can't run T3 without dying several times in act4 bounty. However recently I started with WD. he can run T5 without death with some of legendary items. He doesn't even have Kukri. WD is very fast which means your paragon level will go up faster. After you increased your paragon level high enough, you can choose new character you like to play. It will take about 2 days or less to raise it from 1-70. Some people said they did in 8 hours or so by following other high level character running rift or bounties.

Just farm some rift keystone fragments and go for Rift it Forward while you still can, it will be impossible in 2.1

Yes. No other class is better than a WD for jumping straight into higher torments with only crafted gear. I like DH the best for botting but you need 6 pc mara and good ele rings/ammy to rock t5/6.

If you plan to play a ton by hand just follow Enthvor's advice and do rift it forward for your barb gear. I think once you play WD/DH though you will shelf the barb until they get the buffs that they need.

Hi guys! Sorry for not replying back to you guys. I wanna say thank you to all who replied to my post. Now that I made a WD 2 days ago and its now 70. I would like to know what crafting set would be best suited for my WD to be able to paragon farming and gear farming on T5 or T6? And what stats should I aim for, for those sets? Thanks

Heres what you want

I would go with Aughild 3-part bonus (chest, bracers,Shoulders), Ashearas 3-part Boots, legs, and gloves. This will give you survivability. Then start gambling for helm until you get your Mask of Jarham, after you get that gamble gloves. Use the best fastest wep you have, get as much +physical dmg as you can. you will be able to walk all over stuff and you will gear up quickly, When i started botting I used a WD it took me 2 weeks to get to the point where he is Perfect with a pet and Jade build except i need my SMK. He does t6 Ghome in 7secs

What?!!! U can do T6 Ghom in 7secs?!! Thats insane!!! Thanks for the ideas. Right now I happened to have Tasker and Theo and The Tall Man's Finger. I didnt even know that i have these items in my stash.

So I could do some gambling and be able to get Mask of Jerham?

yeah you should be able to do that, may take some time but wont be an issue. Tall mans finger and the offhand that makes your dog take %dmg are a must for t6 ghome.

My gear:
Mask of Jeram (92% pet dmg)
Aughild chest shoulders bracers
cains boots and legs
Uhkapian Serpent (int/life/life %/10% crit/27% dmg taken by dog)
Haunt of vaxo (20% Physical/700+ Int/90 CD/10CC)
Taskers (int/vit/AS/CC/46% atk speed)
Tall mans (int/vit/cc/cd)
SOJ (physical/int/cc/elite dmg)
Witching Hour
Doombringer /w 20% physical dmg

My fetish do 19-23m Crits, dog hits for like 65m, Garg hits for 130m

I finished up all my blood shards and didnt get a Mask of Jerham. Should I do some chest runs for now until I get some items similar to yours i.e. mask of jerham, soj, Uhkapian?
 
you can also look at below thread. There are many good info regarding WD build and equipment. You can do chest run for few days or run bounties/ rift in low difficult level. WD can run T2 level without great items. Try T2 level and if WD dies often, lower the difficult level. Remember chest run doesn't give any experience but rift can give you pretty good legendary rate + experience. Chest run might drop more legendary than lower difficult level Rift/Bounty. I never run Chest profile so I can't compare.

Thank you for this great info. At what difficulty level should I do some rifting? I did what you guys told me to gear up my WD with certain equips. My WD now has about 500k damage, 5.5m toughness and 18k healing. What would be the appropriate level for me to do some rifts? Thanks

You can try torment 1 or torment 2. If you die a lot then, you have to lower difficult level but if you die 2 or 3 that is ok to continue in that difficult level
