Need major help with ar/leech for my barb please
Hi, I have a barb who has 12k ar (7k without the demon limb switch). I'm having some serious problems leeching and doing considerable damage to some monsters. Like in act 5, I just did a one-player game for a test against some blunderbore that randomized in the frigid highlands and I had to whirlwind about... I dunno... let's just say 40-50 times to kill the pack. Each ww did very little damage.
The leeching wasn't too much of a problem, although my blue bar isn't skyrocketing up or anything like that like it does in classic. It's just slowly going down until it deplets. I had to use 2 mana pots to do all 40 whirlwinds to kill them.
Now, it says that I have a 89% chance to hit them, so I figured attack rating shouldn't be the problem now. I just want to know why I am not doing good damage in a one-player game and why my mana isn't jumping up like it should. I mean, if I'm doing 3k damage, shouldn't 181 mana just fill up regardless of leech penalties?
Anyway, here is my gear:
200% grandfather
6% arreats with cham
25% leviathan with 40ed/max
stormshield with um
thundergods
goreriders
58%/20 steelrends
metalgrid
228/20 ravenfrost with 101 ar/6% mana leech/39 life/31 mana ring
The rare ring isn't the best, but it'll do. Anyway, the gear doesn't suck although you can make the argument that 6% mana leech isn't enough. However, when the bar rarely goes up when I hit something for either life leech or mana leech, I'm concerned.
Another thing I noticed is that concentrate, even at level 1, is doing more damage per hit than my whirlwinds, which actually leechs better (however, only slightly). What's up with that?
Any Barbarian experts out there that can help me figure this out?
