1130 is the lowest res,
30k HP
825 LoH (Because I've had to swap out my offhand for a Stormshield due to too many deaths).
48k DPS.

Using Giles Trinity for combat.


Where did I go wrong?

you need somewhere closer to DOUBLE that much LoH and ideally another 20k hp, what u dont need is all that res, also ure dps is very low. So all in all its your gear isnt right.
 
I see. I always thought that I need as high-a resists as possible. And yes, with my normal offhand, I have 1680 LoH. So more vit, less res and try to buff up damage eh? Would you suggest still using 2x 1hr's or a 2h?

False, you dont need so much LOH especially as a 1h+ shield, as you would rend/revenge back you HP. Pickup a 3% Ls belt while your at it, e z to find.

Your base HP is to low, it should be at 40k+ since ull be gaining so much hp back, it gives you more cushion. high block over 30% ideal. DPS is fine, but obviously the more the merrier.

2x 1h tends to be more expense if you plan on running it efficiently so if you dont have the chedda, dont bother. if so youll need over 1k+ loh, a lot of IAS, decent amount of health id say 40k+ and res about 8-900 including paragon buff. and ofc as much crit and crit damage you can get. pickup a 12% ms item, boots of whever else has it.

not sure if you were referring to me or the other dude, but i currently have 2x bots

a 2x1h & 1h+ shield, both are doing great.

spent about 80m on my 2x1her ww

30m on my 1h+shield rend

currently working on a 3rd experimenting on 2h ww
 
I'd prefer to go with my offhand weap instead of shield. That's when I have 1680 LoH. Would you recommend me sticking with the shield? Cos that's the main reason my DPS is so low
 
Currently im trying to figure out which OH would be better suited for my guy. I have 1 very low damage dagger (1.5asp), around 250dps, close to 200 str some dex, LoH, 90 crit, and a 80 emerald gem socketed. It puts me at 55k dps unbuffed. I also have a 950 dps Axe (1.3asp) which has LoH, 90% crit and socket but no stats, equiping that pumps my dps to around 90k. Im trying to figure out if IAS is better than pure DPS.

but whats certain is that if you are running a 2x1h build, you should get as much ias as possible without sacrificing too much of your other stats.

What Barb calculator are you guys using before buying the items off the AH?
 
56K dps, 41K hps, Resists around 500, 1200 LOH, 2.8% life steal, 9K health globe bonus, 40% crit, 200% crit damage, 28% block, 8200 armor. Working fine as either WW or Frenzy barb. When I started doing A3 I was only at like 25K dps but I had 39% block and around 900 resists.

I would put that 250dps dagger as off hand weapon. If I remember correctly for 2x1 hand ww barb. The off hand dps only counts about 27% of ur total dps.
 
i ran with 160k selfbuffed WW barb and i still died 11 times per hour...

i downgraded my dps to some more res helm of command/stormshield and rend build and now im getting 0 DPH and on rare occations 2 dph
But ofc i got 140k dps with frenzy 5 stack, buff

i also got a monk with 90k dps and it dies 6-17 dph
1500 loh


So barbs are soooo dam much better at botting

Atm I'm running a WW barb 1H + Shield : 11,5k armor, 1200+@res, 80k dps without WotB, lvl 7x paragon. 1H + shield is nice if the rest of your equipement is decent, you should try.
