Last question for now :P What MOs do you recommend? I can reach 75 resists from jewels alone, so that leaves MOs for more useful stats.
Especially what MOs would be useful for TU items from mid game section?

Mo you could use to FHR, Defense. or you can get resistances from rings and amulets alone to get defense / Fhr sockets also. if you have MO and sockets on defense and you play with defense setup you shouldn't die very easily

Hello, i found this build very fun to play but have problems now..
I cleared my way up to destruction act5.
Im at lvl 120 now and wanted to do black road challenge. I fail at fautznville terror..
I have 150 ias, 206 fhr, 286 fbr, 25% block, 64k def without buffs. all res at 85% (even on destruction)
All my equip is TU 6 from the list.
I MOed my weapon with additional life stealing/on attack. All my armor MOed with additional ED% and THD %.
I just try to do what the OP did on his videos, whirwlind to the crowd and then iron spiral them..Okay i manage to kill some mobs but there are others that 1-2 shot me. I use wolf stance (btw it says increased fhr and block rate but i dont see the diffrence in stats when i switch?). Tried bearstance but im very slow this way and die too.
What am i doing wrong?

From what i learned while playing sword-barb for whole ladder - dominance is not worth until 500 sigs and at least mid-game gear (SU/Sets/crafts) and probably just ends up in HR/Block stun until you dead. Use max runemaster/bear stance/spirit guide to greatly boost your defence/damage and add %dr cap. Also i always keep my ll at around 50% (25-30 on terror) so i'm able to recover full life orb (10k hp currently) with just 1-2 spirals. Also you might need to boost AR (Eld runes/some dex/max Daedalus/Spirit trance) 'cause all your ll is nothing if your chance to lower than at least 85-90%
PS: Also i used abit different gear setup. At least i was using

Hmm... Idk but that's all i can get currently with 907 stats to spend (some stats goes to str just to wear items) I think while doing BRC you can't get more than it... if only you don't manage to do it at end-game :)
PS: For now it can't cover 1kk+def i have from runemaster... tho gear still pretty sux no matter i've farming from nearly ladder start XD

yeah you only need like 2650 dex to get max block. even that amount can be raised with io runes. even if you use 2% dex 2% life leech jwls you would be kinda close. you also need some charms that gives you huge amount of stats :)
