Best equip should be:
CoT "Lem" or Magic Circlet 80extragold "LemLemLem" (CoT is propably better unless you got lifeleech elsewhere)

You have any idea how much that gear would cost? I doubt anyone wants to put tons of HR's/Sojs into one goldfinder.
I doubt you killing anything with that kind of resistances without lifetap. Personally my Wolfbarb sacrificed some GF for Survibility, and he can successfully run hell Travi. His gear is:

Azure PB (made him based on swords long ago,and the mag dmg is cool)
Enigma AP (spare armor)
Stormshield with ed% jewel (spare also)
Wolfhowl socketed with pruby (planning to change to UM)
1x Dstar 1x Manald (GF+Mana leech, both self found)
Infernostrides (fire resi, gf, used to use 7x% rare gf boots)
Dracul's (spare, give lifetap which allows surviving
Maras amulet
Goldwrap
2x Ali baba's socketed with random gf jewels (~50-60% gf from jewels)

As for charms, he's got a torch, Gheed's, several gf gcs, rest is life or max/ar scs, his feral displays 2k max dmg, he has ~72% block, 20k def, 4.6k life, but crap resistances (do not matter with lifetap). As for how I play him, I tele to councils, use Taunt on Council Members (minions), and then trigger lifetap from them, kill them, hork them, pick gold, go to town, next game.

Ouch, Shield on a pvm barb. You should really read some barb guide dude :lipsrsealed:
I have pretty much that equip above (no perf items / charms) and it costed me about 1Ist besides the griefs and the stuff I already had. (EuL) I dont really know what you think is so expensive about it
I got about 3200life, 60fire res +30 reduction from the dwarves and I kill pretty much everything with 2wws. No need to cast fade, taunt, lifetap or stuff like that.

Those charms you listed are pretty much damn-expensive, also the belt/boots (resi+frw+fhr+gf).

And as for the shield, it's a wolfbarb goddamit, plus why not a shield? And FYI I've played barbs for quite a while, have read all the guides in here and made 3 very successful PvP BvC's, and like 3 successful PvM barbs (the rest 3 were geared with rares -_-').

[Stupid]

The charms show the optimum possible, max damage are not such a big boost if youre wearing grief anyways - I dont have them either
For the rares, they are not expensive. For instance I got myself some 10fhr 30frw 78eg for Pul. And for what reason you have a goldbarb :)
To the shield, its somewhat useless on a PvM barb. With 2 weaps you deal more damage, meaning the monsters will be stunned twice as much, die faster, and you leech much more. Additional, as a barb you got 10k def and most hitpoints of all melee chars. Do you want to kill mobs or bath in fana moonys?

Lol? My barb is a wolfbarb with max shout+iron skin+enigma ap+stormshield so he has like 20k defense already. And like 72%-75% block depending from my rings. And I just cannot be arsed to get another Azure. And as my barb is a wolfbarb, he doesn't really benefit that much from a second weapon. Do you really think that I do not know that 2 weapons with _ww_ means that you get way more hits? With a welfare goldfinder wolf it means I get hit more, have lower resistances, no block, no dr, and thus get slain pretty damn quickly if the lifetap doesn't trigger. As soon as the lifetap triggers, it doesn't matter what mods the councils have, I can take them down with any mods.

Grief BA (used to be botd ba, still experimenting)
Beast BA
Delirium +3 bo/+3 find item
Chains of Honor
Upped Inferno
Upped Chance
Upped Goldwrap
dual dwarf star
+2 barb / %ml / 78% gf amulet
6x warcries/% gold skill charms
9x 10% gold/damage or resistance small charms
gheeds & annihilus & torch
2x 6-Lem War Axes on switch

Merc:
eth Crown of Thieves
eth Chains of Honor
eth Reapers Toll

My merc has no problem surviving the Hydras (CoT + Reapers + CoH gives over 30% life leech) I like Chains of Honor for the skills, res and %damage to demons, along with Grief+Beast combination killing them within 2 minutes. I use Delirium and Warcries skill charms because I only invested 1 point in Find Item, so with all the equipment and battle cry, I get about a Lv.22 FI.
