Hi, peeps!
I've got a tiny WW barb problem. I'm kinda stuck at around 40k-ish dps. I can do A3 MP4 fairly easy, up to right after SiegeBeast, then i die.
I'd like to advance.
What can i do differently? Gear-wise, build-wise...
For gear, at the moment i have only 37 mil, so don't go nuts with the gear.

Thanks in advance. :)
Santi, out!

A couple of things.

1) Get more crit-this build fuels itself off of all of your crits: the more the better.
Your helmet, amulet, and ring could all use crit.
2) I would switch out Bloodthirst for Tough as Nails
With your current damage, you'd get more out of LoH than LS at the moment.

Good luck!

I agree with Phamalot on the importance of CC and CD, attack speed is critical with this build as well. I would focus on those 3 with your jewelry.

As for your armor I highly recomend getting a full Immortal Kings set. I looked on the ah today and you can get the complete set for under 24 mill. Granted its lower end IK but you still get good base stats, great all resist and some nice set bonuses that are made for the WW barb like fury regeneration and 5 life per fury spent.

As Phamalot also pointed out you should ditch the Bloodthirst for a survivabilty passive. Waaaay to much life steal, not enough life on hit.

I may be able to throw some weapons your way. Just hit me up in game. Otherwise you are looking for BIG dps on the main hand with socket and crit if you can afford it with a fast offhand with crit and life on hit. At least 600 dps on offhand.

After Santient is good, hit me up. I could definitely use any kind of upgrades. can throw some gold in if need be.

So this belt and pants droped for me recently...

Also i bought a few things (dagger, gloves and amu).

Now i'm waiting for a IK helm auction to finish (i hope i win).

So far i got a great dps boost.

Thnx guys.

Looks like you are on the right path Santi. Keep up the good work.

@santient , excuse me but how are you stuck at 40kdps with 37m in the bank? I run around at 70kdps with usually around 5mil in the bank.

I wish you luck, and if you want actual help from me, hit me up in game.

Don't buy IK helm. Look for IK chest.
Look at Mempo helm
You need more critical chance.
Look for bracers with CC. I suggest strong bracers like mine. Shouldn't bee too spendy. Consult my profile.
You can get a decent firewalker set as movement speed helps a lot.

Looks like your not building a dps set, but a MF set. You'll need to choose which you want and stick too it.

@zerokewl

I understand that a Mempo is a much better helm than the IK but for a guy that is on a budget and looking to use a WW Barb build he should go for the complete IK set. These days you can easily get the whole set under 25 mil (low end) which is pretty cheap.

More importantly the full set gives awesome survivability (5 life per fury spent) and top notch fury regen (2 per second) freeing up the need for a passive like unforgiving for something far more usefull. WW Barbs spend fury like my ex wife spends her alimony checks. lol

Bracers with CC is a nice luxury to have but with 12% on IK boots I would go with a reasonable set of Lacuni bracers which would give you 24%. All the speed you need and attack speed to help with the tornado proc on your WW which is huge.

If Santi decides to go with this spec I'm sure he will be able to hang at the higher MP levels. Once he starts to get up in level then things like a nice Mempo with CC should be in the discussion but not until then.

If you're on a super budget and don't want to spend the money on an IK chest, invest in a Tyreal's Might. They're very underrated.
