If you have an old Guild Wars account with characters that are 7+ years old on it, I'll trade you gold/items in D3 for your account., or just for your birthday presents if you want to keep your account.

LOL at his face in the picture >

I just killed the Butcher as well with my Barbarian. After finishing Hell the other day I did a lot of goblin runs and bought resist gear on the AH to boost my survivability. I thought compared to how hard those fat zombies hit right at the beginning, there was no way I could do the whole act. But I decided to see how I fared against a champion pack anyway, and with SSJ4 and Ignore pain with lifetap I found I could tank most elites without even kiting a bit (I had to kite against desectators/arcane enchanted of course). My way through the act went very smoothly, and I hardly ever went under half health. My stats with Enchantress and War Cry buff are:

49,186 hp
8825 armor
330-492 resists
9400 DPS

I also have 2.30 lifetap on my weapon so that helped a bit with keeping me topped off. Obviously by my stats there's still a lot of room for improvement, but hopefully I will be trying Act 2 in the near future.

I could use this time to get some symbolic logic homework done, but I'd rather daydream about finding a rare with 200 vitality and 75 all resists

Quote from Sinister Demon

I honestly don't see how anyone could progress further than act 1 considering there is basically a 65% armor/resist cap and even when you reach cap mobs will two shot you. :| Stack bunch of vit I guess.

Umm so how does my Barb have 75% DR from armor then?

Still says "Game is up to date" when I open the launcher.

Are you on US or Europe? I just hit Inferno today on my barb and my gear is pretty shoddy so it will take a while to get geared enough for where you're at.

Btw, how did you farm gear once you got to inferno? I doubt I could take a champion pack as even the white zombies drain my health pretty fast. I was doing NV runs of Maiden and Azmodan which yielded a lot of loot and were generally pretty fast since there are a lot of elite packs in the tower leading down to maiden. I also found a house in the Old Ruins that spawns a treasure goblin occasionally so i've been resetting my game trying to get that to spawn. What would you suggest?

Why is an exploit farm spot newsworthy?

holy cow! - you leveled 3 barbs to 60? - Im finding it a grind to get 1 toon to 60. NJ thou ...

Yeahh I love mah barbs. The first two I grinded to 60 using Nightmare Azmodan runs, but the third didn't make it in time before they nerfed the exp from that, so I had to level him the old fashioned way through A1 in Hell. I just unlocked Inferno on my third barb but i'm afraid to try it out

I really hope they don't nerf the entire Revenge skill! Provocation is really helping me stay alive in hardcore

I assume by PS you main Ignore Pain? (pain suppression) This is not an absolute must have. I'm up to Azmodan in Hell without ever using ignore pain. Revenge with Provocation is definitely a must have though

Grats! I just lost my 60 barb in Hell yesterday from getting trapped in an arcane enchanted champion pack. Damn if I'll be playing without any escape abilties now, lol!

I'm using this run in normal mode to farm gold and level up. The two quest rewards in a row are a fast way to get exp and gold. Enjoy your runs!
