Need some help with it.
Could some geared barb for end-game (DPS barb) post a gear montage with stats?
I want to build a barb with a budget around 200m give or take, and want to have an idea what to be looking for.

I don't have pictures, but I recently helped my friend gear up his barb. Basically, 70-80 Res on all pieces of armor. I can't remember the max for rings/amulets. Try and stack Physical Res on top of that. This will greatly reduce the damage you take while being mobbed, and generally all damage. Try and make sure you have 50-60k Hp, for better heals and will keep you alive long enough to kill things. Your dps won't be amazing. Try to get a 1k+ weapon with life on hit. Two of the best pieces you can get are The Helm of Command, and Stormshield. The stormshield base block maxes at 32%, And the Helm of command adds another 7-8%. With damage reduction and blocking for 3kish, you'll notice a huge jump in survivability. The main key is to survive while pumping a steady stream of DPS. 15k dps is a good start, I would try to get it higher. With 200 mil, you should easily be able to gear up for end game. Sorry for the lack of pictures.
Edit: Skills also play a good role. I've noticed using high DPS skills end up getting you killed. Leap with Iron Impact is amazing, and the only DPS skill is Wraith of the Berserker with the insanity rune. The rest are Revenge/30% Rune, Cleave/Broad Swing 156% Weapon Damage, Warcry/Impunity, and Ignore Pain with the 20% Damage dealt returns as life rune. If you run into a nasty pack of elites, Leap in, Wraith/Ignore pain, and murder them. Leap out to avoid arcane/molten/just need to back up and heal. Once you get use to the defensive play style it seems to work really well.

Thanks dude, I'm looking to use the skill build, but the gear is outdated.
That set was pre 1.0.3
I see alot of people going DPS, not 100% dps, but you dont need like 1,2k resist and tons of block and hp to get trough farming.
I saw some videos and it works really well.
Like you dont need LoF anymore, and crit damge/chance is better. And a friend told me a good shield with %life and % crit can do the trick better (with 20-25% block chance)
But I need some ideas for legendary items, or good stats on amulet/rings etc.
Thanks for the help anyway.
i would recommend "Andariels Visage" (Helmet) with
>120 strenght
6% crit
6% ias
and socket
Thank you both!
Helped alot xD
