pvp conc barb

[Sjafi]

Alright so here's an idea, lemme know if you guys think it stinks...

40 base str
base dex
rest vit

Blood Crescent Scimitar
Twitch
Swordback
Death gloves/sash
3p ruby mask
Goblin toe
angelic rings/ammy

max bo
max sword mastery
max bash(synergy)
max conc
1 pt in speed, nats.

This would finish the build at lvl 76 I believe. From there you could put the rest of your points in battle cry, if that works for pvp to lower physical damage against you. I'm thinking it will mostly be for melee duels. You reach a 8frame, uninterruptible concentrated attack with 545% total ed on your puny little scimitar damage :P. I think with the open wounds and crushing blow damage along with the 8 frame attack, it could do quite well. You could also go the route of maces and try that flail that slows people by 50%, maybe tie in clegs for maximum gayness!

I wasn't sure if defence would matter much with such low defence gear, which is why I chose not to max out iron skin and shout for it but hey...if it does make a difference, I think that would be the way to go. Then again, battlecry does lower damage quite a bit(if it works pvp). What do you guys think?

Battle Cry is exetremely ineffective for pvp, im not sure what the number is that affects the person but I know that you would be wasting your time trying to cast it.

I agree with you in general, but i have a bvb with maxed battlecry in favour of shout/ironskin (defense is useless on a non-defense bvb anyway) and it does help quite a bit.

Conc isnt viable for pvp imo, and your gear is way off. Get some physical dmg! And conc is capped at 9 frame

If you must use a swinging 1h attack for pvp, go with beserk

WW barbs will own you unless they really suck so your the barb will only be for melee duels but barely anybody melee duels and for the ones that does, most of them will probably suck.
If you really wanna try then you should run away after you hit them for open wounds to work or you can just stand there hoping crushing blow and open wounds will kill them before they kill you which will more then not always get you killed.

conc is capped? lame....well that idea is done, then! Basically the goal was to attack quickly where open wounds/crushing blow brings them down but oh well, I tried. I wish blizz would pay some guy to write all the technical stuff about this game down on a site for each skill, that would help. Actually, if they wanted to, I'm sure tons of gamers would do it for free if they got credit for it.

edit: what about a dual weilding speeder using knouts? I've always wanted a barb using flails/knouts but I have never made one. Would knouts be strong enough? They don't have the power of nagas but they are faster, so maybe I could reach a higher ww breakpoint with them.

it'd be nice with frenzy, but knouts suck with ww, well they dont suck but naga is superior. Ias doesnt effect ww

Try this for a fun nice pvp build

40 ias nice dmg knout
deaths combo
Twitch
r/w res boots
ar res rings
+barb pris ammy
sback
helm of your choice

Stats/skills are that of a beserk barb

9 fpa beserk with nice dmg + ow, and nice r/w... Switch to an java to farcast beserk to transfer ow vs some opponents
