best barb equip??

and IK gloves... 20 dex and strenth is good... saves some vita

It depends on if you are making a BvB (barb versus barb) or barb versus any thing else

If its a bvb then use alot of stat giving items and get so much strenth as possible and have about 2000-2500 life only... if its a anything else fighter you need alot of vita!
