Can my Barb survive in Act 1 Inferno with my current set up?der=0><

**sOFrOsTy** · 20-08-2012, 09:18

My overall question is, do I have the stats to farm Inferno Act 1 comfortably both solo and with a party? This is my first time playing Inferno with a barb. My old Wizard farmed Inferno act 1 pretty comfortably for a couple weeks before I disconnected while on top of desecrate. T.T Anyway.

Here is my build as far as skills go:

WOTB (with 100% damage rune)
Leap (with armor rune)
War cry (All res rune)
Frenzy (side arm)
Ignore pain (extend to 7 seconds rune)
Revenge (30% chance to proc rune)

Passives:
Tough as Nails
Nerves of Steel
Superstition

Now here are my stats thus far.

Armor: 900
All resists: 939 (lowest is 939, highest is 1031)
DPS: 10280
Life on hit: 471
Life leech: 2.6%
Attack speed: 1.5
HP: 39780

So given the stats/build you see here. Do I have what it takes to survive in Inferno? I think my res/armor is okay, but biggest concern is my HP and my dps. I don't really know for sure what those should be at in order for me to survive/kill effectively. Any comments and ideas on the matter would be great!

That should be a walk in the park. Atleast act 1.

Assume you mean 9000 armor? Your resists are over the top for Act I Inferno. Your DPS is a touch on the low side IMO and so is your HP, the extra resists will probably compensate for that.

Yeah my DPS is pretty low. I am having a hard time finding a good weapon. My weapon is currently only 630 dps. The auction house hasn't shown me anything too great yet. I know the res are too high, but I don't really know what I could sacrifice to lower ATM. I have a ring that has 40 all resists, 52 str, and +4% life. I am thinking maybe of selling that and replacing with a ring that just has a ton of Vitality. That 4% life really only adds 1k hp.

And if you were adding that 1K HP via Vitality instead of %Life you'd be gaining an armor bonus as well.

Good stats but I agree, over the top res all for A1. I'm only at 600 res all and coping with A2.

You should be able to get a decent weapon with vitality, strength, and 800 dmg for a million or two.

Good skill build, but if you get a bit more damage and want to take champ packs down quickly, you could try swapping out Earthquake for your Ignore Pain. (That's only if you are feeling quite safe and rarely need to use IP).

Great point on the Vitality being armor. With items i've found, I have upped my HP to 40800. Lol. Also, replaced my boots with ones I had from before and forgot, that had 200 more armor. So now I am around 10k armor as well. I am still concerned with my low HP. I would be so happy with 50k. I might just get a ring.

As far as a weapon like that being only a mil or 2, it probably doesn't have a socket. lol. I need LOH as well. >.>

I am curious, other barbs reading this thread, if your farming inferno. How much HP/ALLres/Armor you guys have?

I'm farming Inferno Act I very comfortably.

With enchantress buffs and warcry I'm running about 10k armor, 53k hp, 800 all res. Some regen, but I don't think I've got any LoH...

I'm farming inferno A1 extremely comfortably.
