I just reached lv 60 with my dps barb and i was wondering what level of stats so I have for inferno? By stats I mean LoH, all resist and the likes. (sorry, I'm totally new to playing barbs)
Thanks in advance

In my experience you can build a barb almost any way, and get away with it as long as you're willing to grind and grind some more. If you need any pointers hit me up.

You can build a barb any way and tear shit up, there aren't any specific minimum requirements like some say. I clear a3 inferno effectively with no loh, and 30k hp.

I made a mistake of spending too much on set gear and such, usually you could get a decent rare or slightly worse than the set gear for half the price. As for the stats, most barb use LoH on their off hand, aim for at least 700 dps off hand and then focus on stats like LoH/str/crit bonus/socket. With high all resist (over 650 buffed), high vit (over 30k HP), high LoH (over 900), you should do fine farming act 3 inferno. Have fun.

Also, If you're doing good dps (above 30k) Life steal is better than LoH, because of those big crits you'll hit.

I got most of my gears for really cheap (around 500k maximum) for each equipment. Most of it, i got it for under 100k. Look for where you can get the most strength gains in equipment. I only get vitality on chest and pants. Life % in other slots are cheaper then vitality.

You can have a look at my barb for reference. I wont the sage seekers from this website ^_^

Use warcry-impunity to help your resistances (and maybe upgrade some equipment to get some more), with these stats you should be able to ww through act 3 until u hit a nasty molten + plague + arcane mob or something insane.
Also you might want to switch to some defensive passives if you aren't using them. I have 60k hp btw.

just like what @timbarton411 said, warcry-impunity helps A LOT in act 3. i'm currently farming act 3 with relative ease using a barb with the same stats as yours, and WW skill build. you shouldn't have any problems with mobs as long as you manage your fury spending and skill cooldowns.

One thing that seems overlooked is life regen. Stack a large amount, over 1000, and it basically is a free get out of jail forever card. If you get low, just back off a few seconds and you can jump right back in. Another bonus is that you will be able to engage every mob group at full health.

@luan Life regen is only a really viable source of life after you have about 2.5-3k, otherwise you're gonna need another source of life.

Focus on getting lots of all resist, strenght, and vit. 1000+ LoH would also come in handy

As opposed to LoH, what is the recommended Life/sec for acts2/3/4?

The minimum requirement for WW barbs to run Act 3 .

DPS - 25k - 35k . More the better
LOH - Minimum 900 . More the better
Lifesteal - Minimum 3% . This works well with high DPS.
HP - Minimum 35k . More the better
AR - Minimum 500 .
CC - 45% . Try to aim 50% with skill buff . More the better
CD - 200% . More the better ( This increases your Lifesteal ).
Armor - Minimum 5k without warcry buff . More the better

The passive skills also determine your survivability as well .
Superstition and Weapon master is a must . The last skill can either be Ruthless or Tough as Nails or NOS.

This is my stats for running Act 3.

HP - 42k
Armor - 5k
CC - 50%
CD - 350%
DPS - 33k
LOH - 1k
Lifesteal - 3%
AR - 500 without buff
MF - 330% with NV and paragon .

I could do better but I'm just a farmer . I sell the best items without using it .
