PvM titan lancer vs vita lancer

[Angry]

right so i currently have a vita lancer for pvm, and was wondering if a titan build would result in significantly higher damage.

now mostly i solo cows for pgems, nithi for keys, and join chaos runs howling to piss off people ;)

anyhow i have about 1500-11k ww dmg and about 4780 life

i was wondering about the survivability of a titan lancer and whether or not the added damage would be worth it.

thanks

+1 str = +1% ED (except mauls which are +1.1% ED i think)

so by investing eg. 200 more str than your current build you only add +200% ED which isn't that much considering you will already have fort (i assume) and a might merc

the pure titan barb died in 1.09, the sheer killing power of many packs in hell in 1.10/1.11 just don't make the huge vitality sacrifice worthwhile

i build my ww barbs (frenzy barbs maximize vitality as much as they can) with a healthy amount of base str, ie. 150-200+ base so i can put on a very heavy fort (eg. shadow plate) if i wish later on

if you want a big increase in killing speed get your merc a pride polearm, that's ~300% more ED for you
