D3 Enchant Guide Barbarian Dmg Or Vitality
+Skill Damage refers to item modifiers that boost the damage of specific skills, usually by 10-15% (at level 70). Many different armor slots have 4-6 skills they can boost, and these are selected randomly like any other primary affix. Enchant must be cast directly on the recipient. This skill is largely a novelty or support skill for most Sorceresses, though some few variants specialize in it. The benefit to minions is considerable, which can make it worthwhile for a Sorceress to carry an Orb with +enchant on it. When added to her usual +skills modifiers, this can be worth. Nov 04, 2007 The Chaos Barbarian By 312 Table of Contents I - Introduction II - Gears III - Stats IV - Skills V - Strategies I. Introduction This guide is made for a Berserking Chaos Sanctuary Clearing Barbarian. This is the prime build for getting a barb to 99, easily being able to kill diablo nihlathak and baal every single run.
Diablo 3's Patch 2.6.4 brought significant changes to Raekor's Set bonus damage which now increases the damage of Fury spenders by up to an astounding 27500%! This is one of the highest damage bonuses out of all Diablo 3 sets, and on top of that, it's one that can be easily reached within a matter of seconds and selected Fury Spenders can be spammed with the set's full benefit.
This is currently the best Barbarian Build for Season 16 and Patch 2.6.4, which is apparently slightly better than Charge Barb based on the Immortal King's and Raekor sets combined. I guess we will have to see over the course of the Season how it ends up.

General information
The entire build is based on The Legacy of Raekor set which provides the following bonuses:
- Furious Charge refunds a charge if it only hits one enemy (2/6 pieces)
- Furious Charge gains the effect of every rune and deals 1000% increased damage (4/6 pieces)
- Every cast of Furious Charge grants a stacking effect that increases the damage of the next Fury-spending attack by 5500% per stack. Every cast of a Fury-spending attack consumes up to 5 stacks (6/6 pieces)
The Legacy of Raekor is a truly fitting set for a Barbarian. It's fully oriented on raw DPS, and unlike the majority of sets in Diablo 3, it grants no defensive bonuses. Luckily, Barbarian class offers various items and defensive skills that are more than enough when pushing High-level Greater Rifts.
The gameplay mechanics for HotA Raekor are rather simple, but spamming skills mindlessly will not bring you good results (yes, for some builds it does :) ). First of all, you need to accumulate stacks for the 6 piece bonus, by Charging into enemies with your Furious Charge. After you have 5 Stacks ready, you should use your Hammer of the Ancients for maximum damage. You can lower the stack count versus thrash, as you won't need the entire bonus ready for weaker enemies, but that heavily depends on your current gear, Paragon level, and the difficulty level you are playing currently (or the Tier of Greater Rift). You should adjust it for maximum clear speed.

Diablo 3 Barbarian vs Monk Tanking Analysis by Endgame
In Diablo III, two classes are standing out as the ‘go to’ classes for tanking groups of mobs in a party situation.
As such, let’s take a close look at the Slow Time and Diamond Skin mechanics of the Wizard and how they will impact tanking, and compare them to the cookie-cutter Gargantuan tank build of the Witch Doctor!

Don’t go, I was only kidding!
(Still here?)
Okay, let’s take an ability by ability look at the Barb and Monk and see what to expect for those whose noble job it is to get punched in the head for the sake of their group.
This post will focus on actual damage mitigation. Stuns and knockbacks aren’t as useful situation to situation, so they won’t be addressed. If you’d like them added in feel free to let your thoughts be known, however!

Writer’s Opinion:
Barbarians will thrive in pack tanking, where Revenge will proc endlessly and heal back the damage sustained. Less options available for bosses, where fewer targets means smaller heals.
Monks won’t have the armor and constant healing Barbarians do, but better mobility and Healing independent of dealing damage are big strengths.
I believe that the first Inferno clear that utilizes a Tanking strategy will rely on a Monk – but ultimately more clears will be done – and done faster – with Barbarians
