unfortunately.. for PvP, there really is not.
If you feel like getting owned in Pub games or hardly winning, then any build will do, a hammerdin would probably be the cheapest as an all around dueler. You won't have many P-Combats (as they cost 3hrs on us-east scL), but you should be able to make him fairly decent and easy to Bad Manner (BM) in any public duel game. Grab some absorb gear, get 125% Fast Cast Rate(FCR) and hit a decent, mid-level Faster Hit Recovery (FHR) breakpoint as well as having 75+ resists (hopefully 100+) in hell. After that you should be fine.
However any good PvPer will be able to kill you with ease. To repeate... PvP in this game is sooooo Gear Dependant (your equipment makes up easily 90% of your PvP success)... given that you won't be able to obtain any of the great gear without investing 50-100 HRs into a character, your character is going to be really lacking in respect to the other people's who either trade well / ebay / or bot.
i just sold the wpn/shield/circlet/1 ring and 9x GCs from my fire sorc and got back the equivalent of 180 HRs... i have yet to sell her other fcr ring and her life/mana scs... i expect to get between 250-300 HRs from her gear when i sell it all. my barb's charms... Just His Charms have sold for 180 hrs. factor in the rest of his gear and he should be right around the same as the sorc...
in no way did i pay that much for either one of them... the key is to trade wisely and you will find yourself becoming more and more rich. i do not and have never botted, i just trade for profit. that's all you have to do and you will find yourself able to make that barb you want to.
i suggest making a hammerdin or even a smiter if you want to BM people. to get both to a decent PvP level you shouldn't have to invest much.
Frater may be able to help you out in regards to an "OK" PvP build, regardless of BM or GM duels that you will be semi-successful with... those are my two suggestions.
good luck.
