My Barbarian ACT III Build in Diablo 3

After struggling a little bit in Act II I had to switch up my thinking a little. I have shelved my two hander, and went one hander, and shield. I may switch back, and forth as each quest may be a little different.

I went with a few main stats this time with my gear. I focused on Strength, Vitality, and Life %, or Life Regen. I really like the added life because you really need those extra hit points in Act III.

Here are some of my stats as of right now.


49k life
4700 block
73% damage reduction
400 resists unbuffed (1k buffed)
1100 Life regen per second
1509 strength
370 dex
227 int
985 vit
8052 armor
16k dmg
1h/shield


Spells


Frenzy-triumph
Ignore Pain-iron hide
Warcry-impunity
Ground Stomp-wrenching smash
Revenge-provocation
Earthquake-mountains call


Passive


Nerves of Steel
Inspiring Presence
Superstition


I would love any suggestions that work for you that I am not using.

Act III Hell Mode in Diablo 3

I was moving at a great pace today.  I thought what was everyone complaining about in Act III.  It seems pretty easy for my Barbarian.  I eventually woke up.

I am definitely stuck at level 58 in the second part of Act III.  I seem to not be able to get past the elite mobs in Find the keep depths 2.  It seems around every turn is the three elite mobs.  It is either Icy Quillbacks, or Soul Rippers ripping me to shreds.

I had to log off for a bit before I raged on my PC.  The tip of the iceberg was when five yellow named mobs spawned.  I think it was a bug, but who knows if it is what hell mode in Act III is like.

Hopefully someone gets tired of GW2 this weekend, and comes to bail me out.  Yes, I am talking to you Christopher Morin.  It is frustrating to be this close, and get stuck.
