Usually when you use CS, you have maxed LF.

[Silver Ice]

[A|fzZz]

Oops...wrote wrongly lol...
Supposed to write conc barb....
But i realised i wrote ww barb and saw no ww so i added...Didnt realised i wrote wrongly lol...
Sorry...My abd

[green127]

but for a ww i see the people with botd zerker using a different move... like beserk.. how many points should i put into that just 1?

[Silver Ice]

just 1-2... berserk is useless for pvp (unless u have a death wish) since your def drops to 0 when u use it.

[green127]

oic.. and what armor should i use?

[ghosts2003]

Jesus, I didn't think that many people didn't know how to make a char.



NOTE: This is for a AXE barbarian. It will NOT work for swords or mauls.

1. Skills

First of all. There are several skills you'll want to max. These are: Battle Orders, Whirlwind, Axe Mastery and Shout. You'll want to put the rest of your skills on Iron Skin. Don't forget to put one skill on every non-weapon mastery and battle command. They'll help out, trust me. Put no skills on any of the skills not mentioned. You'll want the pre-requisitories. And that's it.

2. Items

I would suggest an Enigma with a very... VERY low strength requirement. Like a light plate enigma or a mage plate enigma. For weapons, I'd suggest one of the two following combo's: Doom (Beserker Axe or Ettin Axe) and Eth Breath of the Dying Beserker Axe, or Doom (Ettin Axe or Beserker Axe) and Beast (Ettin Axe or Beserker Axe)- either would be great for you. Angelic rings and amulet are a must. They make you hit very often with a +life add. For boots I would suggest Imp's, as they are the choice boots for any character. I would suggest high steelrends or dracul's grasp, both are perfect. As for a belt, I'd suggest perfect vitality add Verdungo's- as they're best for any melee character. And of course, the helmet: Arreat's always. If you want it socketed, I'd suggest a 40/15 IAS. It will make your barbarian that much better. Oh- and for charms. You use all the skill trees on a barbarian, so any +barbarian skill grand charms would be great for you. Also, stock your inventory with 100 poison damage small charms and vita small charms. And an Annhilius small charm always helps out. (Alternative Items)

For those of you who can't afford the items above, I would suggest the following: Death Cleaver (maybe socketed with an eth rune), or any other axe that does decent damage. For a shield, I would suggest stormsheild no matter what; as it is the best shield- and without mad damage, there's no point in using double axes. Other good shields would be Medusa's Gaze or even a Lidless Wall. For a belt, Verdungos shouldn't be too hard to get, but if you can't afford that, then get a razortail, nosferatu's, or something else to that effect. Rings: most unique rings are okay. Get a Manald Heal for mana steal if you have none else; also use a ring with stat add, as long as it isn't energy. For an amulet, if you can't afford a +2 amulet of any kind, then use a +1. I highly reccomend Highlords for a +1 amulet. For gloves, any gloves with stat add and/or mana/life leech are good. Same with boots, but gore riders shouldn't be too hard to get, as I find them all the time. For armor, I highly suggest a stone or something with damage reduce. Like the Shaftstop armor, which has 30 damage reduce. Also, a steel carapace would do good. Especially if you put a pul in it.

3. Statistics

Here's what your stats should look like for the best results:


Without Gear

Strength: 40-60

Dexterity: 80-90

Vitality: 300+

Energy: 10-20


I built my barbarian similar to that before, he has 1700 base life, almost 5k life with BO.


And yes people, my barb kicks ***.

[Silver Ice]

theres only a few problems with your barb.
1. no cham rune will screw u over when u try n catch people or duel with a skill other then ww.
2. no shield makes your barb useless against any character with a shield
3. gore riders arent much, but crushing blow and open wounds will hit the odd time in duels, their better then resist boots against melee anyway.

and yeah..... your barb has 1700 life. mine has 2500 or so base life (5.2k with bo)

[geves]

i'm looking to make a blade fury assassin. i heard that venom adds to blade fury. so it seems like it wouldn't be a bad combo.

i was thinking along the lines of having a good back up skill like a martial art. but which one?
an would this build even be worth making?
if so, what'd be a good skill point distribution?

thx

I guess I didn't mention my barb was level 72. And I didn't make that guide, I built my barbarian from trial and error, I didn't feel like typing it all the way out so I just looked for one similar on a website.
