I have a lvl 60 barb, and I am currently rocking a 1hd and a shield in inferno. I have heard rumblings of 2h being better, is this true? It seems to me they'd be to slow and would get killed quickly.

This is a huge topic,

But put it straight forward, the gear you would need to survive inferno fine and not have to wait for CDs to start the next pack is pretty insane, I've spent around atleast 400m+ on getting the right gear for 2h, It's hard because;

-You need high resist to even manage to survive,
-Decent enough health so that you wont just get absolute destroyed by everything,
-Huge life on hit
-The weapon you would need would go for around ~25m

Sword and board is ofcourse, better, slower - but better. You don't die nearly as much as 2h.

Ofcourse, people will go 2h in inferno, it annoys people - and me, that we're forced to basically "Tank" this whole shit. If you're interested in 2h inferno i can hit you up with some tips, it's not as easy people think "hurr resist vit str", you need much more, you need to make sure you can survive the dmg intake, and do enough damage so that they die before you do.


As i said, 2h'er barbarian is insanly expensive and takes ages to gear, get the correct gear.
