It sounds like you need to remake this barb if you want to have any chance. Stat distribution is terrible for pvp and hellslayer cant even hit the first ww bp for 2 handed weapons. Do a little reseasrch on this forum and you will find a lot of information on how to build a barb much better for pvp, even if you can't afford great items.

Try to get a death cleaver axe, non ethereal are not so expensive,, offer a couple of ums and pgems on trade forum and u will get a goodly weapon for low price, and dont socket it with shael, put an ed jewel in it or ask on forum what to socket.

If he can get um runes he can get better than a non eth death cleaver.

If you cant get your hands on anything listed above, consider a Messerschmidt's Reaver, it has a little less damage, but its quite a bit faster. A shael rune in it might help.

Don't bother socketing the hellslayer with anything for your pvp ww barb, it is flat-out useless for ww.

For a good pvp ww weapon, you need:
- 4 fpa (4 frame per attack = 6 attacks per second)
weapon speed bps (breakpoints) 1h weapons + swords:
-10 = 6 fpa (4 attacks/sec)
-35 = 4 fpa (6 attacks/sec)
bps 2h weapons:
-10 = 8 fpa (3 attacks/sec)
-30 = 6 fpa (4 attacks/sec)
-60 = 4 fpa (6 attacks/sec)​
- decent dmg (base dmg + edmg%)
You're looking at getting at least 1k-4k dmg, so you need a base dmg weapon in the range of a berserker axe (24-72) and at least 350% edmg.​
- decent requirements
Your majority of stat points should go to vitality, so you need a weapon with low str/dex requirements. Try to keep str req below 130 and dex req below 70.​
- vs melee
You need a shield, so having a 1h weapon is necessary if you go against melee classes.​

Hellslayer meets one of these requirements. Making a pvp ww barb is expensive, since you need to meet at least 3 of these to make one that will win a majority of their duels. You might want to wait until you can afford better equipment to continue your pvp barb as you'll often be frustrated by poor results against most other duelers who have had more time or use illicit methods to gather their gear.

That was an incredibly ignorant comment. You didn't speak english properly yourself. There is no requirement that you need to speak english well in order to play d2. There isn't even a requirement to speak english well to post on these forums, just that you speak english. Try to open your mind to the fact that some people speak english as their second (or third or fourth) language. Take that into consideration next time you post, especially since that was your only point.
