I am having a tough time deciding the best type of barb to build. First question I have is the IK set the best set to use, and if so what is the best build to go with? Second question is, am I wasting my time by making a barb and trying to do some MF runs with him? I have a blizz sorc, but being poor with a blizz sorc is not a good combo. I was rich but quit and now starting back and being poor sucks a$$!!
So please if anyone has good luck with barbs tell me the best build, ww, shout, concentrate, etc. Thanks!!

if your planning on using full iks... max mace mastery and ww stone skin 4 points in natural resistance and the rest in bo and shout.. then you need to get yourself 2 +3 warcry javs for him on the switch and you should have a barb that can solo baal.. and do about 5 k.. if you want to up the damage put ed jewels in the helm and weapon and armor... since you will have full resist and a high defense from stoneskin and shout you should have no problem except for in act four... i hate iron maiden.. hope this helps.

mf with a barb is a waste a sorc can carry more mf an kill quicker.
to avoid iron maiden use stun attack on oblivion knigths they cant cast spells when stunned.

to avoid iron maiden if u miss stun, use beserk otherwise ur screwed, and as for using the ik set, u get some nice dmg so i might recommend using a str build (put most of ur points into str) instead of using a vit build. this would get u higher dmg and since the ik set gives some to life (or so i hear) you would be set either way. also since ur using a 2 handed maul u wouldnt need to put any points into dexterity

good advice however ik set isnt that great, although its alright seperate itms put together is way better as you would know like enigma, botd thunder maul (which im trying to get cuz 200-1000k+str=about 8-9k dmg), arreats helm, spider sash, etc. youll own with itms like that.
