ww barb: wat's u're dream setup for pvm?

[bakatrader]

ok i just found a perf pally torch and plan to trade it for items or runes.
i currently have a ww barb with polearm mastery, however i don't mind remaking him (polearms were the cheapest option for me at the time).
he needs to satisfy some criteria tho:
1. be able to tank in tristram (probably using concentrate) and deal decent dmg to the uber bums
2. be able to annilate non-boss monsters in 1-2 hits.
3. be able to make bosses look like pansys

pretty much i'm looking for a barb which looks cool, is uber satisfying in terms of dmg dealing, and is practical in tristram as a tank.... a barb which is satisfying to play.

any suggestion is welcome

Hmm go with Ebotd Great Poleaxe, Fortitude Archon plate, Dracs for gloves, a good Dungos, Gores, a good Arreats, I usually go with one ravenfrost with my angelics and it works pretty well. I haven't tried this out but it should work fairly well :P

Remake him if your planning to trist with him, ww barbs are no good (or at least take way too long) to clear trist. I'd suggest making a frenzy baba. Look at the guides and past threads they will give you the 'dream' set up that your looking for and power to you man! Hope you get a nice trade from that perf pala torch :grin: !

Good Luck,

WW barbs have no chance in uber trist. WW needs too much mana, which you will be unable to leech, WW cannot apply life tap which will get you killed very fast. You will have to use concentrate (even lvl 1 conc is viable if you have crushing blow gear + dracs + life tap wand).

if you're not considering uber tristram then i would say

ebotd gpa
steelrends
fort/duress
tgods
dual raven
highlords
ed jewel arreat's
gores/travs
anni
torch
multiple AR/max/resist/life charms

might merc with

pride
eth elite stone
eth andy's
