How much res needed for act 3/4 inferno since patch?

**cowtestickles** · 22-06-2012, 07:04

Trying to gear my barb and was wondering what res I should aim for since the damage was nerfed some.

Anyone????

Depends on your build, hp, and armor. One build with X hp and Y armor might need only 600-700. Another might need ~900.

I would try it out.

I am at 950-1050 resists right now with warcry (40k health, good amount of armor) having trouble with some elites in act 3, but did kill azmodan with two buddies. I am still only comfortable farming act 2.

You need 700 - 800 max no more Res. Life on Hit 1000 - 2000 no more. Ias 10% no more. 40k hp no more. then stack str and good luck

ps. You need 44% block rate and 15% reduction mele dmg. around 200mln and I cant still farm a3 :P

Simple...
Res ~75%
Armor ~75%
Block ~39%
Mele dmg Red. ~14%
LoH ~1100
DPS for Act3/4 ~25k

I dont know exactly what you need, but this is what I have

All Res 900~1100 with warcry
Armor 8k with enchantress
Block 32%; Amount 3,706-4,706
Dodge 17%
Life: 48k
LoH: 400
Life regen per sec: 1,000

btw i killed every elite pack, azmodan, and diablo solo.. it took me a while cuz of my dps (13k), but it was really hard for them to kill me

its not like a jump in and killed everything.. if i'm low health, i run and wait til i regen about 20%

Duno man. I have 18k dps and bether gear. And I don't think about act3... cuz it goes loong loong time to kill and e50% of champions I kill at enrage... That sux. Even Siegebraker killed me once at enrage... Tankbarb is too expensive and doesn't make a day. Anyway thanks for Your post.

Go do a whirlwind barb.
I have:
1k loh
1k resist
10 armor
20k damage
13% dodge
40k health
40% crit chance

I can do full act 3 in a very short time. I do however bypass ranged mobs, especially if they are a shielded. Not that I can't kill them, just takes too long.
This build can be done with a lot less, saw a guy do diablo aswell with 600res and less damage than me.

Another good thing about this build is that I can more or less perma sprint through entire act - making finding champs/minions a lot faster. Whirlwind also lets you run straight through mobs.

What I'm trying to say is, once you get the build down (takes a while to learn how to properly manage your fury/whirlwind) this build is overpowered

Care to share the build? I'm currently at 23k damage, 45k life, 850 res , 8 k def and 47% block, 1020 life per hit. Think I can do act 3/4?

I got 9.5k armor, 15.5k dps, 50k HP and resistances around 700. Block chance 31% and reduce melee damage by 16%. I beat the first quest, though that was only because i encountered easy champions packs, cant comfortably walk around yet. Ill give it a shot when i got at least 800 all resist and hopefully something like 17-18k dps.
