Uber trist and a frenzy barb?

[basictrainer]

I have built a smiter for uber trist, but he is kinda getting old, so i want to make a different char to do it. Figured a barb would do fine since he has BO's and shout. I can get most highish end items, my setup is with gear that I already have. Would this build work fine? i'll probably level higher than this (~85) so where would the extra levels go?

20 frenzy
20 battle orders
20 shout
20 mastery
10 taunt/double swing

Weap: dual grief (3 wc sticks switch)
helm: guil? (ik prebuff)
armor: fort? (enigma prebuff)
boots: gores
gloves: dracs
ammy: maras (3 wc prebuff)
rings: soj, raven (no idea here)
charms: anni (20/11/10), lots of single res scs some life, 2 wc gcs, btorch maybe.

any help is appreciated

Your close, but a little off. Your skill setup is fine, i would put at least one point into natural resist and iron skin, and make sure to have at least one point in howl, critical for keeping minions off you. Gear needs some changes though, mainly weps, remember you need lots of crushing blow. If you have lots of life, then use something like ebodtz/edeathz, or griefz/beastz etc.. My favorite combo was either ebodtz/edeathz, or beastz/lwz. Use highlords and dual ravens, and CoH if your resists are low after mephs conviction. Guil is good if you need the crushing blow, otherwise id use an arreats. I think i was ubering with this setup in the upper 70s, can't remember exactly, but it works well, especially once your lifetap triggers. If you have over 6k life, you could use duel lacerators to ctc amp instead of lifetap. Hope that helps.
