A little about me: I’m something of a pro gamer. Any genre of game I’ve spent my life completely dominating. I have a 4:1 kill death ratio or better on every call of duty. I am 2100 elo on League of Legends (that’s top 5% in the world). I’m in the platinum league of Starcraft II. The list goes on and on.

When I picked up Diablo 3, I expected to quickly assert my dominance over it as well. Unfortunately, things did not go as I planned.

Diablo 3 is a very difficult and unforgiving game. I could progress through it just fine, but I never seemed to have enough gold to do everything I’d like to. I wasted countless hours crawling the web, searching for better methods to bring in more gold.

I ultimately stumbled upon the blog of Daniel Chan, which changed my Diablo 3 life.

Daniel Chan is Diablo 3’s first gold billionaire, and his methods have drastically increased my gold income per hour. With his expert guidance, I’m back to being the pro I’m used to being.

I’ve got all my friends jealous and begging for advice again. I think I’ll wait a little while longer before I turn them on to Daniel Chan’s amazing guide. I want to make sure I get a pretty big head start so I can stay ahead of them, haha. 

Your build for the Barbarian class is highly determined by the quests you can undertake. Hacking and slashing your way in the game just doesn’t work anymore as it did for Diablo 2.

For starters, do not grind the same monsters or do boss runs over and over again. It produces diminishing returns and Blizzard has set the game up in such a way that the rewards look better if something is done differently. Venturing out is a very good option.

Here is a quick leveling method showing getting a bar of exp at paragon level 31 in less than 4 minutes. At 50mil a level, you could easily level 2 or more times and hour…

A Barbarian is a class that excels when they are in a team. Because most of their attacks are melee, they function well as a tank but are better off with characters to back them up with range attacks and provide support. If you are a low level barbarian, make sure you pair up with someone that provides a lot of healing spells and this will keep your game going longer and stronger.

One of the biggest temptations of a barbarian is to grind through the same pack of mobs over and over again. This might work well in the previous game, but the way the game is setup requires you to diversify your strategy rather than attack the same boss over and over again.

A barbarian must not sit still. Its primary skill is called fury which increases as they deal damage and take damage. Do not wait for your allies to deal the damage as this will hamper your ability to level up. The fury ability also unleashes a huge range of skills that will propel the Barbarian’s damage as well.

Last but not least it is very important to experiment with rune stones. Rune stones diversify the play of the Barbarian greatly and don’t be afraid to try out new things as the damage dealt and mobility can be greatly affected.
