My Barb Idea... Is it good.

[MeBaD]

I've read through plenty of threads and I'mm poking around with an all around dueler. Here is my idea on items.

Helm: Um'd Arreats
Ammy: highlords ammy (might switch this to metalgrid)
weap: Botd Zearker
weap: Beast Zerker
weap switch to wc spears
Armor A: 1350 D balrog nigma (cause teleporting is fun)
Armor B: Archon Fort
Belt: Disiple belt (15 res, str and dex)
Boots: Gores
Rings: Ravenfrost
Rings: Switch from wisp/dwarf/something with high AR
Charms:
Torch
Couple of AR GC's and some Defence sc/LG's


Is there anything here that might be good to change ? Still kinda new to pvp :p

Well, versus fury druids, singer barbs, poison dagger necros and kicksins you will have a chance.. Not sure about the rest

go for grief bas not lame *** botd and worse still beast anyway try this instead consider this: what the hell is this barb trying to kill? casters? if so theres a lot of threads about their equip or other barbs? also lots of threads for these guys, or just noobs in like "low duels" who join with lvl 8x chars which suck *** cos they get pwned in high level duels and your barb would possibly be joining the noobs getting killed by level 49 uber equipped chars (some will seriously kick your butt with that equip)

Couple of AR GC's and some Defence sc/LG's i laughed at this for 2 seconds, what on EARTH where u thinking? this is ****** apart from for bvb wheres its poor at best. what you need is dmg + ar + life charms, these are expensive but seeing you got enigma archon there you should be able to afford some, if not consider making a cheaper char or fill you inventory with 20 life scs (with torch ofc) and youu forgot to mention anni, anni is VITAL for pvp chars along with torch the 10+ stats/10+resist +1 skill on a SMALL charm is gosu.

Ok now you havent said a SINGLE thing about your stats/skill points, although stats = fairly easy, u see this all the time and its not gonna change:
str: what you need after equip to use all ur equip
dex: enough to use equip (ar charms/angelic rings + amu will sort out any ar problems)
Vita: rest
Energy: hmm let me think about this for 0.00001 seconds, 0 points, if you didnt work that out then ur silly :)

Skills will look something like this: ( a / means either x/y/z only being those values or rest of skills, 1-20 means choose a number in there, it will help you whatever level you choose, the more the better ofc)
iron skin 1/20
natural resist 1
increase speed/stamina 1
axe mastery: 1-20
ww 1-20 (you might keep it low level cos its mana goes fairly high but it isnt really a problem especially if u decide you dont care about using mana pots)
beserk 1/0
bo 20 (always get this lvl 20 otherwise your barb will suck)
battle command: 1
shout: 1/20
leap: 1/20 (if you decide bvc then this is 20)
i think ive forgotten something but oh well

Other equip:
switch the disciple belt for one of these:
dungos (30-40 vita, 10-15 dr, 10-13 replen life, high def)
String of ears (6-8 ll, 15 dr)

helm:
coa (ber ber)

amulet:
highlords is fine u might also want to consider:
angelic (along with 1/2 rings) for vs huge defense chars
maras (2 skills 20-30 res all 5 all stats is nothing to sneeze at)

consider cta 3 instead of one of your warcry weps for 1 higher lvl bo

boots: fine

other items which come in handy:
For HUGE level bo before duels
+5/6 bo helm in stash
+3 warcry amulet
arach
2 bk's (any leech you dont have 2 use em in pvp) or sojs, although thats a bit of a waste
i would say wc charms but that would be TOO much effort and if u died you'd have to do it all again

Widowmaker (handy vs hammerdins + messin around killing newbs)

that should give you something to think about

Please, do not give out out-dated info, or info that you're not 100% sure about.

1. Gores are "fine" only if you can get life/all res charms to counter the res loss from boots
2. Maras is a waste of time, you will never need it, metalgrid is superior
3. Prebuffing bo is ZZZZZ, not needed at all
4. String of ears/dungo/whatever is crap, arachnid is superior
5. Using cta3+hoto/wc spear on switch is ZZZZ in pubs, rather use dual dooms for the aura to kill off kb spam bowazons.

As for stats/skills, something like this:

Stats: Enough str to use tgod+fortitude+grief+beast+CoA BerBer+Draculs
Dexterity: Enough dex to use Widowmaker with Arreats+2x Angelic rings+amulet
Vitality: rest

Skills: 20 WW, 20 Axe Mastery, 20 Bo, 14-20 leap, 3-5 nat res, 5 inc speed, rest shout

There you have yourself a nice BvC. Personally I think that people who have no intentions of playing the BvC for a looooong time shouldn't make one, since it takes time to master it. Playing a BvC for a while with no skill makes you hate them, think they suck and make mf hammerdins and cry about BvCs, just like KaythonXE does.

By the way, for an "all-around" dueler, you will need almost infinite wealth. And as for a barb one, you will need 5-6k life, max block, huge stash sacrifices.

But the BvC, when mastered, will beat almost any build.

EDIT: Ed, thanks a lot for correcting my small error. I might make a few errors here and there and my messages might not make any sense, but I have my reasons to be spacing off right now.

Dexterity: Enough to use Arreats+2x Angelic rings+amulet


Enough to use Hel'ed widowmaker, with arreats and dual angelics. :thumbsup:
