I have been playing diablo for quite a while now, and i duelled many different builds. But there is 1 character i have had trubbles with at times wich is very uncommon and fun. Dubble Throw barbars. They might seems weak because of their lack of blocking and low resist, but dont let yourself be fooled. If someone master this art of fighting they can be one of the most dangerous fighters out there. I dedicate this build to a player in europe non-ladder wich call himself "X_HeadShot".

You might wanna keep a set of Angelic Rings and Amulet in your stash if you would need much more attack rating. Normaly, this aint nessessary.
Inventory:
-Annihilus (This is a nice item since it will give you about 500-1000 more damage and more 10-20% resist all.
-5% Resist all Small Charms (I recomend that you get enough to have max resist and perhaps a bit extra. It is possible to get this charm with 1-20 life or 3% faster run/walk)
-3/20/20 (3 max damage/20 attack rating/20 life) (An very expensive but well serving charm. If you are super rich, then you shoud get them on your character)
-Warcry and Mastery Grand Charm are welcome for people who would prefere it.
Am doing this build and will add on later how it does versous the different characters.
