Hey guys,
I wrote a guide on barbarian inferno gearing and a bit about what to look for on the AH, and how to find it and what prices you can expect.
I chose to format it in a google doc so that I can post it on several websites and forums with less work for me, so here you go:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vYBHIAyAiuVfzX7gkSkZROymsEWChfUt8mQx8-8s8Zs/edit
I prolly should have linked more examples of items, but I just couldn’t be arsed, sorry. If anything is unclear, or if you need an example of a specific item, just ask.
Enjoy
EDIT: And the items shown as examples are from the EU GAH
EDIT2: Just to clarify:
The items shown as examples are just that; examples. These are cheap, low-standard items, and the best I could find in a couple minutes searching. While they are good enough for A2 and parts of A3, you will probably have a hard time with a full set of such items for A3/4.
To be able to farm A3/4 you will need similarly itemized items but with better stats, aka, more armor, more strength and vitality, more resists, better additional stats, which will cost on average roughly 1-2m per piece.
EDIT3: LOH is short for life on hit. I'll edit in the guide when google docs let me (too many people reading it, so can't edit anything).

Skimped it over: there are more builds to barb than standard sword and board tank build... each build require different itemization. Say... you don't want to get the 3 block items (SS/JL/HoC), you can go for vit+%life stack for a 90k+ hp build... you can also stack some crit for blood funnel/sprint build...
Bracers, chest and accessories can come with -melee dmg taken which is nice for those who need that edge. |

Yes, which is why I specifically state this guide is for sword and board builds, and more specifically my own playstyle of sword and board.
I suggest actually reading what I post before commenting on it.Last edit: 2012-06-16 09:50:34 |

| It did ring a bell, actually, seeing as how this guy here took 40 mins of his time today to write it all down for a fellow barb stuck in Kulle/Belial runs, Groundhog Day-style - namely, me. Great effort Dmn, I'll make sure to spread this far and wide. Thanks again! |

Great guide, tons of help.
Found a little typo though:
Stormshield is overrated. Unless you can find one with around 30% crit for really cheap (say like 5 mill) they are not worth it.
Crit should read block if I'm not mistaken. |

Thanks for the feedback. Indeed you are right. Unfortunately there are too many people reading it now so I can't edit, will do later though. Thanks!Last edit: 2012-06-16 10:14:39 |

| Thanks for the guide. Though, do you have a recommended skill build guide too? |

No, a lot of different versions of the same build work well for s&b. Its up to you tbh.
Frenzy - sidearm
Warcry - impunity
Revenge - provocation
Charge - dreadnought or leap - iron impact or both
The last skill(s) are up to you to decide.
Passives: nerves of steel and tough as nails. Last one is up to you. Last edit: 2012-06-16 17:01:46 |

Oh, you're right. I didn't specify what LOH means. Well, it's short for Life on hit. I'll make sure to edit it when I can, but right now there are too many people reading : |

I didn't forget the belt section, it's together with shoulders cause they are basically the same with similar itemization. Might be easy to miss though, I'll see if I'll edit it.
Thanks for the feedback |

So buying items like the recommended ones is supposed to enable you farming act3? I have some trouble believing that, because I have pretty similar ones or better, but I am only able to farm Kulle / Belial.
I thought everybody that farms act 2 already has items of that quality.
I have a feeling this will only work if you also have some of these sick legendaries like the OP apparently has.Last edit: 2012-06-16 19:02:41 |

I tried stating it in the guide but I might not have been clear enough.
Basically, these are just example-items. They are of the two lowest tiers and the best I could find in a couple minutes searching for very cheap. To be able to farm A3/4 you will need similarly itemized items but with better stats, aka, more armor, more strength and vitality, more resists, better additional stats, which will cost you on average roughly 1-2m per piece.
When I cleared inferno diablo for the first time, the majority of my items cost between 500k and 2m. With a few a bit more expensive. I did not use any legendaries up until diablo except for justice lantern. They averaged in price on about 1-1,5m. This is also including some time spent searching for cheap deals. A lot of my better pieces of gear which I have now, such as the helm of command I linked, I've gotten after this time.
I'll update with more examples of better items in the 1-2m price range which I believe should be good enough for clearing inferno. Some of the items I posted as examples are however, I believe, good enough. Hope that clarified a bit.Last edit: 2012-06-16 19:50:36 |

Just yesterday I started selling all my barb's gear as I was frustrated with playing him. I'm at least getting what I spent back, some items that I picked up for dirt cheap are netting some decent money. My wizard is currently level 54 and I was planning on just investing in him as I think its easier farming (cheaper).
However after reading this guide I might see if I can pick up some good deals. Maybe my stats were too all over the place, but having ~5m in my barbarian and not being able to beat champ packs after maghda in Act II was frustrating as can be. However I think I may have overpaid for a lot of my gear when comparing to what you found.
Biggest difference is how you basically find a minimum +RA (50), find combined 150 main stats. I think the way I was filtering might have left out some good deals.
I'll take a look at what I can buy when I get home. Can you provide more of an insight on your tank-barb playstyle? I'm new to the diablo series and still learning lots.
Edit: How did you learn about things such as "ilevel 60 has a cap of 60 RA, 61 cap of 70 RA" etc as well as belts / shoulders having more strength? Knowing this kind of stuff would definitely help with searching on the AH..Last edit: 2012-06-18 23:20:02 |

Hey mate, I'm happy to see my guide might've given you some motivation to play barb again - as although they might be the weakest/most gear dependent class, I also believe they're the most fun to play 
Just to answer the last question first, I discovered it myself basically, after just spending time on the AH. After some additional searching and reading other threads I confirmed my findings. If you just try it for yourself, you'll see it's correct. Search AR 61 and you won't find a single T14 item, search for shoulders with 200 str+vit+AR, and shoulders with 200vit+str+AR, and you won't find a single pair of 200 vit shoulders while you find loads of 200 str ones.
Anyway, for a while now I've been thinking about spending 10 million gold on an entire new gear set, and see if I can kill siegebreaker with 5 stacks. Today I decided to attempt this and I can gladly tell you it was a success.
I died a whole bunch of times and I'm not sure how long it took me, but I estimate I could quite reliably do it in 30-45 minutes with some more experience. Siegebreaker took me really long cause I wiped a whole bunch of times, but I found an easy solution in the end which should allow me to reliably 1-shot him if I decided to do it several times.
Most importantly, I learned quite a bit of other things from this, specifically more exact gear requirements for A3 siegebreaker farming and the importance of the much discussed legendaries, block% and LOH.
I'll start working on a post about these discoveries. I also recorded most of it, including the AH session, but for some reason I kept lagging out and my bandicam would stop recording for no reason, so the gameplay isn't very good and I missed one of the elite packs I think. I guess I could upload it or just give it another try and see if I can get it done without the annoying lag,
EDIT:
Made a thread about it:

With your current (or now old) gear you aren't able to do siegebreaker? I guess my question is, would a DH / Wizard be able to do runs without as much gold invested?
Edit: Doing some shopping now..
Got a 880dps, 197-493 poison, +20% IAS for 150k
And just grabbed this shield for 77k:
