Act 3 Ghom

This is for anyone having difficulty with Ghom on inferno. I have a nearly foolproof strategy for beating him:

http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/barbarian#WiRQkP!YZV!cbcbcZ

The only requirements are about 700 AR, ~1000 LoH, and at least 40K Health. Note that I have a higher end crit build so the first two passives are prolly better off changed if you are tanky.

I did this with no difficulty sitting at 800 AR in my lowest slot, 1400 LoH and 55K health. Never once did I fall below 50% health. Run up and smack the shit out of him with frenzy - do not stop ever. Open with overpower, when it falls hit ignore pain, with a decent crit chance your overpower will be off cooldown in no time, if you're having an easy go of it just pop overpower every chance you get. Your frenzy hits, combined with reflecting a shwack of damage will = way more life on hit than Ghom can beat.

I did it with a sprint/Loh build that basically tornado-ed him to death. It was effective and i did it with 50k hp, but never really lost any health when i did it, so that wasnt a concern.

sounds expensive to get all that in one build for most people

most players ( like myself) are stuck around 350/500 AR , about 30 to 38K health ..

I have watched the vids about slowly killing him and moving in a clockwise/counter clockwise ( doesn't matter )

I have loaded/ attempted the AR build with over 1000 AR in poison and have about 1500 LOH and used a WW barb with 40 % crit chance and still can't keep my guy alive to take him out ..so many player saying its easy and yet the forums are still full of players like myself stuck at the part of Act 3 .

I did it with just Overpower->Reflect damage rune, just be liberal with potion use, I had no LOH either. It was a close call but very possible.

I started the fight with a WOTB/EQ nuke and proceeded to frenzy fuck him for the rest of the fight

I had to use Revenge with that rune that damaged your attacker with something like 30% of damage done to you, which also triggered life on hit procs. I'm pretty sure they fixed it.

It took me a few attempts to finally beat Ghom, the clouds kick yer butt if you don't have the resists necessary. Even with Warcry Impunity my resists aren't close to 400. I managed to beat him, but it wasn't easy.
