Go WW, cause to be honest, Pure Conc Barbs get VERY boring Really quickly!
and also, it is possible having maxed all of the above and WW with 10 on conc! (high lvl char)

you're lvl 1 synergized Conc will do nice dmg, just make sure you have lots of attack rating!

WW rocks for Duels too !

A little correction: if you max BO, IS, Shout, Mastery, and WW, that's 100 points already. 10 in Conc would make that 110, which is the maximum number of points you can get period...which you couldn't actually do, since these skills have pre-reqs that will eat into those 10 points. So in effect you couldn't max all of those skills and still have 10 in conc. Not that you would need it; you should never put points in two combat skills unless those skills synergize in some way.

But anyways, a conc barb is nice is you want something solid and dependable that isn't going to die, but you have to be very patient to play one, since you can only kill one enemy at a time. Whirl is more entertaining in general, and much more effective in pvp.

My bad, i didn't see he had maxed Iron Skin!

i meant....

20 WW
20 SM
20 BO
20 Shout
10 Conc
1 on Zerk // increase stamina/speed // IS // Naturla resists // Battle command

this is very possible!
and can be done by lvl 89

cheers

This is exactly my build! My barb is lvl 88 by now and is very effective overall :D (Excellent PvM, good general PvP, not that great in BvB tough :( ).

I was thinking about a different hybrid build:

20 SM
20 BO
20 Shout
20 conc (a conc barb!)
1 zerk
1 WW (will be lvl 9 WW with equip and anihilus)
Rest in Iron Skin

Could that work? It is in essence a conc barb that is able to WW when needed (and with very high DEF :D ).

Thats sounds good, but your WW wont be very Effective unless you have a great weapon and heaps of AR.... but it sounds good!

my favourite build is with Zerk! cause i like killing things fast with Zerk so it goes:

20 SM
20 BO
20 Shout
20 WW
10 Bezerk

So many variations to choose from! :D

Seems good! I have no doubt it's great in PvM, but have you tested this build in PvP? I guess its good for BxC (1 hit kill), but what about mellee (BxB, BxP, BxA)?
