LL or ML Ammy: + skills and LL Hope this helps out a lil bit. U will want ur life to be around 3-4K with BO and equipment and your 1h damage to be around 2-3K.

this is a big lol don;t trade crap items is my advice
use this
sword cruel colosus blade with shael shael eth
amu use something with life leech i think on usewest is an amu with 2 barb and dual sttats + ll
rings one raven and one dual leech ring
gloves use ik gloves or some crafted gloves with ll and other mods
boots use war traveler
now ......
if u want to use areat get a shaftstop or an armor with 4 sockets 100 life or 20 str /dex with ber,ber,ber and an ed jewel
the most important thing if u want to start a barb is the shield STORMSHIELD ...all the other shields are craps U MUST HAVE IT
charms : use only small charms with life u can have 800 base life only from charms thats means 1700 ++ life with bo lvl 3x
on secondary use 2 weapons with +3 to war crys
........
STATS
put all the points in str to have dmg
dex for 75% block (with stormshield at lvl 99 u need 222 dex )
vita max 75 u don;t need more then 3.2 k life

1 str = 5 dmg
1 max dmg with 500 str means 10.1 dmg
and one more thing .......socket all your items with ed jewels

for a barb the only thing wich matters is his dmg if u don;t have dmg u don;t have a barb u have only a named char
