My clvl90 conc barb took on 2 ww barbs (85 AND 84) and I beat theme every time. They could not not hit me. Of course I used Hals guide and I have no idea how the ww barbs were set up, other then they both had some type of polearm. I use sword/shield conc.

if there aretwo barbs, equally equipped, and each person equally experienced, one a Conc, one a Wwer, the WWer has the advantage. WW hits extremely fast, while conc, even at 9 fps, is not nearly as fast.

No sheild = death in pvsp

[LeTHaL_BaNaNa]

No sheild = death in pvsp

No shield = death in melee pvsp

not always :P, my pvm frenzy barb did just fine in pvp against pallies and some barbs, even with a coh instead of something useful for pvp

I have a level 88 PVM Conc barb that I love to duel with. However I've learned you must pick your battles. If you enter a duel game and a barb has the pretty aura around him (IK), you can make mince meat out of him. I've never lost to an IK barb while using conc. This can also be due to the fact that most Ik sets are used by less experienced duellers. (I loathe the word noob) Anyway, I do agree ww wins out. Especially against botd cb and ss. Also good fights to pick are with bowazons, wind druids and some melee druids. Good fights are with other conc barbs, melee assasins, javazons and zealots. None of these are easy to kill but fun to try.

Stay away from any teleporting necro or hammerdin. Don't even try. Trap assasins can be a pain in the butt also. Sorcs are just to darn hard to catch.

See, I think most IK'ers are PvM, that just decided to try their hand at PvP to see how they stack up. No serious PvP'er would take up all of his equiptment slots with IK pieces. That being said, I beat my buddies pure PvP barb. I was level 87 and he was 86 at the time. it was down to a hair and I happened to hit and take away his last bit of life. He had fought about 5 or 6 IK barbs before and mine was the first to beat him.. we were doing strictly melee at the time, and I have quite a healthy investment in conc, as well as ED/IAS jewels in every socket, so it's probably a bit stronger than the avrage IK setup.
