I've been looking around for a good build for a barb and I havnt quite found one that I liked 100%. I'm looking to do boss runs and most of the Ubers, but heres the catch...The only mentionable piece of equipment I have is a eBotd cb. Sure I have other items that are useful, but nothing compared to what most people on the forums have. I have a conc barb going now, but reading around I started to think I was headed in the wrong direction. So leave your input please.

Make a frenzy barb.
Use that Ebotd Cb and eDeath Cs to make a good dmg combo.
Youll be able to run Ubers and any area in the game (maybe not Chaos and WSK) without much trouble.
Axes are better for frenzy barbs though.

No dont make a Concen. Barb, youll get pwnt be ubers, you need resists not def.
Frenzy barb is the only barb build that can handle ubers w/o difficulties.

Just hit 78 on my Conc Barb, and he can easily solo Baal runs (has been soloing them since 70). Ok Conc Barbs are NOT major DPS (hits for 2k-6.7k with Aura on too), but they almost never get hit. I can have my Conc Barb stand there during the last wave of Baal's Minions and he barely gets touched. As far as resistances, if you equip him right you could probably stand up to Uber Mephisto (wearing Delirium and COH and res% charms). I would say mine has like 400 MF because at the moment he had way too much resistances in HELL. I had to take off items and resocket them because he had too much. I have not done Ubers yet with this guy but so far he can tank like no other I have seen. Also has 39% LL with this build not even considering the life tap aspect:
(10% Draculs, 5% Areats, 15% EBotd Sword , 9% Carion Wind)
20 Conc
20 Berserk (Adds %Magic dmg to Conc)
20 Shout (d-e-f-e-n-s-e)
20 Iron Skin (d-e-f-e-n-s-e)
20 Weapon Skill (Sword pref)
1 Bash (Synergy for Conc)
1 Leap (Prerequisite) -- OPTIONAL
1 Leap Attack (nice in the early stages) OPTIONAL
1 Increased Stamina
1 Increased Speed
1 Natural Res
1 Battle Command
5 Battle Orders (Rest here)
Your Equipment:
Helm: Delirium/Areats (Delirium for Crowd Control, Areats put 15% IAS/40 ED also nice +skills and LL)
Ammy: Mara's (+Skills and res%)
Boots: Gores (CB)
Belts: Verdungos (15% DR and Vitality)
Shield: Stormshield (35% DR and some decent res%)
Armor: Enigma/Whatever (Normally Enigma, but for Ubers CoH?)
Rings : Raven Frost (Can't be frozen/dex/AR)/ Carrion Wind (nice LL, and Stun effect)
Gloves: Draculs (Life Tap - believe me it will process enough)
Weapon: EBotd Sword (Nice dual Leech, and dmg)
Merc :
Act II Defensive (Defiance from Normal)
Helm: Vampiregaze with 15% IAS/40 ED
Weapon: Pride (level 20 Conc, which makes you almost uninterruptable)
Armor: CoH or Stone (I prefer Stone for the FHR and high AC)
I usually use Areats 90% of the time but switch in Delerium when I see fit. I rarely end up drinking a potion since leech is so high on this char. I am debating about adding a Last Wish, but have yet to find a Colussus Blade that isn't ethereal with 6 sockets.
This guy has very little problem with PI's, as Conc has this built in (as long as you pump up Berserk). Worse mob are Mana Burn ones that are PI, but isn't that true with almost every class?
I am looking forward to trying this guy on Ubers when he hits 90's and I have more res% charms, etc.
