let's talk barbarian armour normal-nightmare preferred budget

i'm thinking Smoke is pretty decent?
with a good AR +50.
need a decent base defense though.

i get my ass whooped by those Frenzy minatours with my Frenzy barb.
using a unique body armor with +25 replenish life, forgot its name..

any recommendations to me?

uniques, rune words..

on ACT V not doing well... got some decent swords though..

p.s.
I'm doing my version of players 8 in an online play....
going to 7 players act1 game, and doing act5...
is that legit?

Smoke will get you through hell

Sounds very enigmatic. But probably true

Also, what base you recommend? And is it worth rolling it in cube ?

A Boneweave is nice if you have 158 Strength because you can use it with level 47. Great Hauberk (Level 56 & 118 Strength) and Archon Plate (Level 63 & 103 Strength) offer a good Defence to Strength ratio. But you can use any of these Elite Armor base/#filter=%2C%20Body%20Armor%2C%20Elite as long you have the stats for, just don't raise Strength just for the armor. If you don't have the Strength and Level, a Exceptional Armor also is good enough.

What you mean with rolling in the cube? Do you mean the recipe to add sockets to a Armor? I wouldn't recommand it doing it if you on budget, because you have only 25% chance to get the right amount of sockets. It is better to trade a Smoke directly without it building yourself, you can get it cheap here sometimes: search.php?keywords=Smoke&fid%5B%5D=16& ... temid=1195

Thanks. But I’m level 30ish. So these are too high.
Gonna try those smokes suggestions.
I’m guessing the Smoke Eth are for the merc. Since they would be total lost in no time(unless you throw barb)
