help wit PvP barb

i got the following gear

Ebotd
Dracs
Gore Riders
StormShield
2x raven frost (i heard its good for dueling)
Arkraines Valor
Atmas scarab <-- i need better
String of Ears

things i plan on getting soon
Enigma
Areats
possibly a offhand weapon

i need some ideas on good dueling gear, such as which amulet should i use ?

and what rune should i put in my stormshield ? im thinking of putting a ber into it for more damage reduction but im thinking maybe a 'Um' rune would be good fit for it too

good rune to put into my areats also ?

i havent started to build him yet, i only know i should max axe mastery, whirlwind, and battle orders

what else should i put skill points into ?

i want to be a all around dueler, but also would like to be able to kill ubers

yuqing's gg BvC guide

that should answer any questions you have about building a barb for Vs-All duelling.

good luck.

Right, get rid of that BOTD and get a Grief.
Get rid of Atmas and get a highlords, also get two anglics halos and an Angelic Wing,
Get of string of ears and get Verdungo, with dungo and stormshield you shoul dhave max DR...

For an offhand weapon Beast is the best option, that or another grief. Get a demon limb for prebuff to increase AR when needed. 2 SOJ/BK Rings and a +3 warcry amy as well if you can be bothered to pre-buff your BO.

By the way what build are you aiming for? Please dont say a BVC using a shield because they generally suck....big time. They have less damage for vs casters due to not dual wielding and they suck vs other melee due to having a low defence as they dont have a maxed shout. My barb usually eats them alive even when I dual wield.

How have you done you stat distribution, do you have max block already? If so you may as well carry on keeping it otherwise its a complete waste of points. If you do have max block I would suggest you go down the BVB route, a guide can be found in the stickies.

As for ubers, good luck. My PVP barb can run the mini ubers but gets his *** handed to him when he goes to visit tristram, unless I bring a smiter friend when all I do is howl the minions to keep them off the smiter and launch the occasional Bezerk at one of the ubers.
