I am dying a lot, it's getting tedious.

What MP and what act you running?
At first glance I can see you are running zero defensives, thats pobably the main issue. Well... i Guess inspiring presence and stomp can be defensive, but neither of those really help if you're getting 1/2/3 shotted. Look into using 1 or more of the following: nerves of steel, superstition, tough as nails and warcry (either impunity or hardened wrath). You are probably 100 all res short too.

If they do change it I hope its an activated ability, with the reflect doing 761835x as much damage as it does today so that you whiny ranged chars will still die :twisted:

With a DH you just have to be careful with them. If you can perma shadow power then there isn't a prob. I can keep it up for around 30 secs so have to kite quite a bit. Once it is on it doesn't matter how much damage is reflected. It's just more life regen. Ofcourse you have to make sure that the elites don't actually hit you but that's the usual problem.

Just doing Inferno MP1 at the moment, agh, it's mostly allright - Suck in a crowd with groundstomp, shout them into 20% less damage and cause 'em to rain health globes (which give me like 14000 health or something), and then do that move that grabs loads of health from them if I am dying. Ending (or starting, depending on situation) with rend @ 900% damage.

It's actually pretty sweet. I think I just wasn't paying attention last night, and I also had a brief go @ an MP4 key run (total fail, that ).

 

[copacetic]

I see my character has finally updated.

With a big enough sample size I'm telling you will see the %'s blizzard says. I've seen someone get key after key on MP4, its just they way it goes.

Yesterday we did an uber run MP6, got 3/3 organs, ring number 8 for me and I finally got this:



8k DPS over the hellfire I was using!

 

[Wikkels88]

ring number 8 for me

The way RNG is treating me I'll probably have one by next year:erm:

He got a ring? Too bad for my crappy connection last night.

I am wondering if any barbs 2handed can take a look at my build & perhaps look if my skills will work.

Friend found the 2 handed hammer yesterday & been getting 300-400k crits when it actually does crit but i am very weak atm as I don't have any decent ress gear & working towards that now. (have cheapish ress gear but stats are roughly 70-70-70 str-vit-ress)
Seems like you'll have a trade off between MF or Ress gear.

I am trying to go for a mix between old tank build (ie revenge) & some DPS.

[Archer]

Most of your skills will work, although cleave instead of bash may be a better option. Also the into the fray rune is worthless with your crit chance. But looking at your gear you can easily (and I mean really easily) get another 20% crit chance. You might lose a little strength doing that, but I still see you breaking 50k dps with ease. And then swap nerves of steel for tough as nails, it gives you a greater armour boost with your current stats

Your build is very similar to mine: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Trainwreck-2655/hero/14927921

You seem to be on the right track, but I've really noticed for this build to work you need a nice amount of crit chance and crit damage, the optimal ration according to some is 1:10. Mine is about 48.5%: 411% and I average 600-700k most of the time. And yet I still feel the need for more crit. I may be able to help with some rings and I do know I have an amulet with 5.5% CC. Let me go through my stash and hook you up. Also, life steal on belt is essential! The rich boys will tell you to get a skorn with LS on it, but unless you're willing to fork out your monthly apartment rent, I'd stay clear. I ran 2.8% on belt and 3% passive for some time and it worked beautifully, I only recently swopped my passive out for more armor, since survival became an issue at mp5+.

My current spec and gear are perfect for farming MP6 at an easy pace, the only mobs giving me hell is reflect damage, so take care if you do meet those.

I stood and looked at the Fang on the ground for a at least 20s..... wiped the tears from my eyes.... then realised I may be DC'd, so quickly picked it up

Yeah bud. Will still do them with you though. My ring gave me a 10k dps boost at the loss of 50 AR

Bud I have been using a 2h for a while now. I can't access your link, so would ask if either you or someone else could post more info relating to your question.

What I can say though, is with a 2h, you shouldn't need Revenge. Rend should be your 'go to' skill for lifesteal.

Edit: Seems my 2c aren't needed here

 

[NeoNarchy]

Tnx, I actually copied your build speaking of rings & amulets what should I be looking at stat wise? Only recently started playing again after the new update, changed my tank build (1k unbuffed ress & 4-5k dps) to a dps build, because barbs were never meant to be tanks they need to hit the snot out of you.
Now just need to make some money to get some decent ress gear.

His fury dump is HoTA, same as mine I'd rather swop out revenge for CC (ground stomp is amazing). If he wants to go the rend route he'd still need to switch out HotA, although I don't know if those two can be used in harmony.

Edit: I'm retarded, he already has GS In that case - Leap with Iron impact

 

[Archer]

Crit chance
Strength
Then average damage or crit damage
Then you try get lucky with some all res, vit, magic find etc

Haha I still have the "fastest fingers first" mentality left from my D2 days, as soon as I see a green or brown/gold items I'll rush over and pick it up ASAP with like 10 monsters on my back, even though I know loot is not shared anymore

Cool tnx would it work if I replace revenge with rend still use hammer of ancient as my secondary skill & map rend to my middle mouse button, or replace hammer of ancients with rend?

My thoughts on the rage skill (WOTB) atm is also to rather drop it, as the only real use I had was using it when ever elites freeze me.

 

[Devill]

I got an Amulet that ups my DPS by 2.5k and adds around 500 LoH. It does drop my HP from 40k to 35.5k.....

What would you guys rather take: A slightly more durable monk or a higher dmg slightly more volatile monk?

I am thinking of going with the slightly more volatile option, as I feel that the odd extra death is off set by the seconds shaved off on killing time, well that and I love seeing bigger damage numbers

Edit this is on my Monk, with AR 650.

Whats your all resits and armour?

Edit: With 650 AR I'd go for the higher dps and LoH for sure

 

[MentalistX]

Does your new amulet have MF like the one I gave you?

I would go for the MF amulet. 32.5k to 35k isnt that big a jump.

But anyway, the drop in life isn't so big because you picking up 500 loh which adds to your survival.

For me the question would have actually been "Do I want to lose 30% MF for 2.5k damage?" At my stage...hells no, at your stage, still no. Others may differ, I'm a MF slut myself. Can also get some good MF gear now for cheapish now because of plvls. I found an amulet, well priced, increased my damage by 9k, thought hard but didnt go for it cause it would drop my MF and I'm not willing to do that yet. Rather I went broke and upgraded something that didnt affect my MF...lol

Regardless, you mighty wanna keep the amulet for uber runs because MF means nothing there.
