WD A3 Ghom

I'm currently stuck on Ghom in A3. I'm at about 55k dps, 28k life, 3500 armor and 300 all resists [Witch Doctor]. I have been putting off trying to beat Ghom and just been farming A1 and A2 with increased MF. I'm wondering if I will be able to farm A3 with these stats if I make it past ghom. I'm just looking for a change of pace in farming, as I'm sick of A1,A2.

If I can farm, I'm thinking I will try to beat ghom solo. Is there advice on builds or gear. I was thinking about stacking some poison resist to survive the acid cloud and then should be fine.

Mate you really need to work on AR if you want to even think about this or you are going to get farmed yourself

Sounds like me. I haven't tried to beat the game solo, because I usually get bored without multiple people in a party.i use a tacky ad build too, but my resists are up in the 800-900 level and act 3 still isn't easy.

You absolutely need more AR and slightly higher armor. I'm thinking around 5k armor and 600 AR minimum.

Well im not doing as much damage as im a tank barb but i have 8k armor and 700ar unboosted and i still get owned by him when he enrages.
Mainly due to my 11k dps i would say but decent barb weapons are as expensive as S@#T

MORE AR.

As a barb, at the time i was running a two weapon frenzy/sprint build, with 1600 LoH. Killed him on my first try with no close calls.

To kill ghom you must get a lot of AR and LoH, and attack really fast. Choose a skill that will attack a lot, regardless of the damage, to keep your life up. In between small fast attacks, use big hits to keep the enrage timer from raping your face.

Raping your face...that gave me a small chuckle. Not a good mental image.

I currently faceroll Ghom. Haven't died yet from him both solo and group. All the Barb and Monk tanks I run with usually need to bail and heal. I can stay next to him the entire time. Using a CM Battlemage.

Armor: 12k (prismatic)
AR: 900 to 1000 (prismatic)
DPS: 22k
Life: 16k
LOH: 574
CC: 40%
Crit D: 134%

Add me in game if you want to do the run. I get much more trouble on the elites during the run. Lots of shielded/molten/firechain/frozen/descrator along the way that ticks me off.

IMO Ghom was far harder to beat than any of the bosses, Diablo and Azmodan were jokes in comparison to Ghom, I think once you make it past ghom its almost smooth sailing most of the way through

Does anyone want my help to kill Ghom? I can tank him fairly easy. If you need help, add me.
