Boss progression

[Leyan]

So,

I'm about to engage Belial with my barb and Butcher with my DH and I am about to decide if I'm ready and could use an extra opinion.

Here are the stats:

Barb on Belial
65k life
610+ all res
17k dps
6700 armor
frenzy, ignore pain, WotB, Warcry, revenge, leap
nerves of steel, ruthless, preparation

DH on Butcher
47k life
300+ all res
38k dps
2400 armor
hungering arrow, elemental arrow, smoke screen, preparation, vault, companion
steady aim, archery, tactical advantage

I have SC toons that have almost the same gear

Barb
55k life
510+ all res
13k dps
6600 armor

DH
42k life
270+ all res
28k dps
2500 armor

Ive done the bosses 4 times each on SC and the barb died once. He hit the rage counter on Belial twice (one was the one I died on, first time I tried the rage).

DH cleared butcher all 4 times, but was down to 10-30% life a couple of times per kill, from onehits.

Any pointers are welcome.

Cheers
Leyan

I'm still in hell, but looking at your SC experiences, the question is: ARE YOU FEELING LUCKY?!

If I were you I wouldn't risk it yet ;-)

You should be fine. Drop Warcry for Quake on Belial, IMO

Just tried Butcher with my DH and I will not be needing your newly posted fast levelling guide just yet (great article by the way).....

was this down to single hits or did you get unluckily by being charged while standing in fire etc? I'm rocking about 15k less life but 1k more armour and 5k more dps and about the same amount of all res.

First time I've ever seen anyone recomending a lvl 60 barb drop warcry! In HC no less!

One other interesting idea to beat the enrage timer would be to swap on a huge 1200+ DPS 2hander during your WOTB/EQ cooldowns and then swap back to your sword/board for the poison meteor phases.
