Hey :o
I'm a pure vit barb, let's say, pure cata barb. Not interested on damage, I just get improved on defense. Since we got a complete month of x2, I'm trying to improve my gear, but I cant make my decission on what to get. So, I'm asking here what should I get If I'm only concentrating on defense, not PvP minded, as gear? I was trying to farm R9 (I'm still trying) but, being a barb It's hard to get some good Nirvana squads (Despite I have already farmed 93 Uncannies and 20 Raps). And, since my sv prices are screwed up, Uncannies and Raptures arent going that expensive as they used to, not even with normal drops, I've been thinking that R9 is a little hard now with these prices. So, I need some help to decide.

My gear atm:

    If you dont want to go for r9 do what i did and go for full nirvana. Yeah its not as good as r9 but its still good.
    If you do go for full nirvana i recomend 252 base str. If you get all nirvana second stage you will still have enough str for nirvana axes. Bonus for full nirvana is 13 def lvl and 5 attack lvl its nothing compared to r9 but it still helps.
    I guess it depends on ur budget
    High budget = get r9
    Lower budget = get full nirvana
    One last thing if you have a lvl 100 bm or seeker you can stash the full nirvana armour to it. 3 armour sets for the price of one :p

    r9 armor is 255 str and i am myself not into r9 axe but only the armor for best possible deffence and god ppl are enoying the hell out of me asking why i do not have my r9 axe.


    armor is not cheap but compare to the axe its hellaluya cheap and iam not into damage either just like cata build best hp wish mean survival is just what i want and even i might get some nirvana axe i think if i can get the stats right.

    fir chrismas i am gona get my barb +10 so yay me

    It looks like you have at least a level 90+ blademaster. If you plan on leveling those two simultaneously focus on the gear both can use, then make your bm your farmer. Create a plan for your BM first, which probably includes G15 pants and 2 x TT99 HA and level those first. Use it to farm r9 for your barb.
