best PvM build?

ok, i dusted of the old D2X and decide i was gonna make a Barb for Singleplay/LAN with friends. But mostly singleplayer PvM.
(Last i played was back in 1.07 or something with a 91 Sorc, leveled only thru singleplayer alone :s)

I looked thru some of the guides and builds in the sticky but most of them seems not updated or not there at all.


So for 1.12 whats the "best" and most fun build to smack down a lot of monsters (not bosses so much)
WW was my previous barb, is that still nerfed or actually good now?


Please just give me the basic where i put the skills and talent points? Meanwhile ill start leveling w/o puttin the points in :crazyeyes:

Actually, I'd still be interested to hear what kind of PvM builds are viable these days.

Needn't be cookie cutter, but moderate kill speed and crowd control are important.

I'm thinking Frenzy and WW. Is that it?

Is it possible to build a successful Singer these days?

Pretty much any barb that doesn't have a random skillpoint distribution is viable. Although some will be faster than others.

WW/Berzerk/Frenzy are probably the best options, but Concentrate/Throw/Singer work too.

I have a concentration barbarian on West non-ladder and he can stand his own in any PvM situation (minus when I'm hit with iron maiden :p haha).. he's pretty decked out though, with a last wish zerker, phoenix monarch, COH archon plate among other things.. the defense boost is great, but you can only tackle monsters on at a time.

Frenzy and WW are great crowd killers. Frenzy is ultra fun and fast :)

Anyone have a link to this? I've been building an IK barb, but complete reliance on maces is starting to get old (WRU weapon between Bonesnap and Windhammer?). Thinking of recreating my barb and going either swords or polearms.
