Another obvious one would be a bvb barb. Many of them have ~400 STR with equipment on, because they use Fortitude Sacred Armor for extremely high defence and damage (1 point in STR for a barbarian means 1%ed, so 400 STR = 400%ehanced damage).
Another exception would be a BvC barb. Since casters hit all the time anyway, there is no need to block, therefore, you don't have to spend any points in dexterity, also no shout (defence is not needed since casters hit 100%), no shield required, etc.
Also, most builds can just get away with all base stats, except for vitality, of course. My brother's BvC has base str, dex and ene, but by tweaking his equipment, he can still equip CoABerBer and all the other stuff.
And by the way, mana is an important thing. Ever found yourself in a long team duel and you are suddenly out of mana pots? A very big problem with barbs especially.
I don't want to say that your guide is rubbish, but it's not accurate enough, and I find it unnecessary. It will actually confuse people more.
