Re: i am unsure of the direction to take with my barbarian
well, a lot of it depends on what u are planning on using the character for. i actually have both a uber frenzy barb, and an unfinished pvp zerker barb. but i will run u through my gear, and what i like and don't like about each toon.
lvl 87 frenzy barb:
ebotdz
edeathz
ap coh
highlords
LoH, and dracs for uber meph n lilith
arreats w/ 32/15 ias jewel
gores
string of ears
frenzy barbs are definitely my favorite, and what i feel to be the most fun build out there. w/ their fast killing speed, insane amount of dmg, and high life, they make for very efficient killing machines. w/ this guy i can pretty much go anywhere in the game, and put a beating on whatever i come across including taking on all 3 ubers at the same time, and never worry about my dieing. but, the drawbacks to this character are im, pi,lack of mobility, and their isn't a good pvp build.
lvl 90 tele zerker barb. (my current project)
ber+ber coa - don't have yet
mp nigma
ebotd gpa
highlords
2x ravens
trang gloves
arach mesh
tri res rare boots
charms (don't have yet) - 9x bcomb lifers, 10x 5 all res sc
well, im kinda undecided on this toon so far. as i said im building him for pvp, but so far since i dont have all my gear yet, so ive been limited to pvm and baal runs, but i have had some time to goof off w/ him. for pvm he basically runs as a ww barb (and does do some decent dmg for only 1 pt ww), and then i use zerk for bosses. the worries that i have w/ this toon is that even w/ a 20/232 +20/236 raven i only have ~10k ar, and i would like to see this more ~18k, but ill see where im at after the bcombs n see if i need to adjust for angelics ring n ammy. also, im not sure if he is balanced enough for pvp, since i will only have 40 fcr, 39 dr, 12 fpa, no blk, 0 def, and no way to stun, but ill just have to wait n see what happens. the best things about this character is that he is very flexable. he can tele for a good ways b4 potting, will have ~6k+ life, will have tons of stacked res, an insane amt of dmg (~12k b4 bcombs), easily deals w/ pi and im, and hopefully is viable at not only pvm, but also pvp.
