ok well in bvb items are :
botd ba / botd sword , from what u got use death cleaver ( 60 deadly strike + hichlord = 97 deadly strike ) , upped arreat with ber , hichlord , enigma or levi or stone ( stone bst for babas based on hich def ) , storm with ber , hsarus belt + hsarus bootd give lots of ar ( on lvl 99 990 ) raven , raven , steelrends , against chars like sorc take verdungo + another 1 hand axe . u dont need gore coz u got deadly strike - most important , of course vs chars u dont need ar take gores ,and skills ,
axe mastery 20 , iron skin 20 , shout 20 , bo 20 , ww 20 and 1 in natural resistance , increase speed and other .. at the end max iron skin , first max shout .

i would recommend either stickin with pure melee or ranged, not both.
and the stuff ur gonna use depends alot on ur skills, (ww/conc?)
helm: an up'd arreats requires insane strength and prbly doesnt provide much defence, i'd rather use normals ones so taht the +20 strength saves u less stat points for heavier gear
jewelery: most duelers use angelics set for massive AR, i would do the same. prblem is u gotta socket something with cham for CNBF
weap: i'd suggest death cleaver, as it has a lot better avaerage dmg than GF or Doom after the deadly. also, when u get rich enuff, Botd zerk is better than Botd Cb, so u can invest in axe mastery w/o worry
boots: up'd gores are nice, with the allthe open woudns and deadly mods, and will make ur deadly % almost 100 with DC. if u dotn want to use that, sandstorms are nice as it'll save u on strength points, and will add even more life.
gloves: depends a lot on ur current ias, im not familar with Conc breakpoints
if u dont need ias, rends are great if strength isnt an issue. the CTC on dracs is so low and barbs hit so slow that i 'd ignore them completly
armor: if ur going for all out def, i'd use a high def STone(+2k def) i dont think u'll need any DR as dungos +SS already puts u at the max. duress is also interesting, but unless ur really lucky and find a nice def eth 2 sok armor i doubt it'll be as good as stone. plus stone has 60fhr, which is almost all u'll need (84fhr is s decent bp)
sry if i confused u on anything i hope this post helped

what a waste of Ber runes ...DR is capped at 50... unless u duel vs amplifie spaming ppl the BER runes is a waste ( stil is even if they spam Amp )
and yes i also choose Death cleaver over the Doom GF ( to slow )
And dont bother getting CoA, only barbs i think that might need CoA are those Polerarm Babas( stil dont know if CoA would be better than arreat, ur baba looks dumb for sure :P )
And in BVB Angelic amu rings. Or second option is 2 verry good raven and the metalgrid amu. actualy saw some baba using those altough u gain less AR than from angelic but more def...
Gloves Steelend
Boots Gore rider unles u wanna use the hsarus combo... never bother muling those to my barb so i dunno if its worth it.. Irc boots belt combo is AR and DEF base on clv.
Armor for BVB id say Eth zod Arcain valor if u can afford one..
for caster enigma not that ul ever catch a sorc >.< but atleast it gives u a chance..

No love for war travs around here? +15-25 damage (adds up to a lot), +10 str and vit with only 5% less run/walk than gores. I prefer it to goreriders as a little crushing blow won't even dent your opponent, a little OW likely won't trigger and 15% deadly strike isn't the difference between life and death.
Well, if you want the best gear.
Rare sword with 300e/d and fools, 2 socs eth repairs 40ias.
I'd use cleaver though :)
Go for highlord's and 2 high dex/ar ravenfrosts.
