What is the best barb build outhere

I am curently making a barb.He will be my first character because i lost my other ones and i Really want to play a barb(haven't done so since 1.00).

My question is:what is the best barb build outhere.I would love a WW barb i think it isn't that good.

My opinion so far is that Hal's concentrate barb is the best.What do you think?

It all comes down to what you want imo.

All builds have their strengths and weaknesses and it depends on how you want to play.

I am mostly interested in a barb that can mf well.

By mf i don't necesarilly mean using mf,but being able to beat pindle/shenk etc.

I realise that without an enigma meph runs are out of the question and i am now interested if such a barb can do pindle/shenk/lister(maybe niktalak or whatever his name is but not necesarily)

If you want safety, then make a singer.

Re: What is the best barb build outhere

singers are a blast, but probably not what you're looking for in the barbarian play style the class is famous for...
check out the frenzy guides, it's an awesome fast skill. If you're looking for that brute force attack, concentration is probably for you. It can hit 600% ed on the skill with some +skills, and that defense bonus is a little safety net, gets up around 250% edef (to your base defense, so it'll add a couple thousand when you're attacking)..

Re: What is the best barb build outhere

You are right.I am not into a singer for two reasons:
1) It is not a 'safe char' in my opinion.Not enough dmg but i maybe wrong.
2) I want brute force.

So my questions are:

Can a concentrate barb beat pindle/shenk/lister/other good mf bosses on hell without having good items(it will be my first char).

Also would a concentrate barb be better at this than a WW barb?

I maybe to lazy here,but can you provide me with a link to the best singer barb build in your opinion?

Edit:I searched a singer barb build and it is clearly not what i am looking for.I want more of a dps char and not a support/tank char.

Re: What is the best barb build outhere

OOoooh...one more thing. Am i crazy for making a barbarian my first character seeing that i don't have any char to mf with(hammeradin/sorc)?Because i do think that if you can pindle/shenk/lister with a barb then you can find some worthwhile items.
