Blizzard Sector » Diablo II » Character Development » Barbarian » My First Barb

Barbarian The king of close quarter combat, they don’t come more vicious than the savage Barbarian. The Barbarian has more weapons and armour options that any other character. There isn’t much subtlety to this class, as it basically revolves around being in a position to get close enough to something to hack it open.

This will be my first barb so i do not want to spend much on it in the lines of gear.
My ideas on builds in order of which i want to do them
1.Warcry Barb
2.WW Barb
3.Frenzy Barb

Can anyone come up with something for me as in a guide or advice to steer me in the right direction because i see that if you know how to build a barb they can be godly. Remember this is a CHEAP build as it is being my first and i will probably going to screw it up =].

(i usually do pallys and saasaa's)

Well are you looking for a barb that will BO or do War Cry damage?
Do you want a 2 handed barb or a SS barb?

lets start from the top and work down.

OK, i do not like barbs with shields. If it is a warcry barb, yes a barb that can tank and do damage with warcries.

Well see when you dont have a shield most of the monsters will hit you so I dont think tanking isnt that good of an idea but you want to focus on High Life, Caster features.
I never made this barb before so feel free to correct me.
Weps: 2 hotos
Helm: Some helm with a lotta bo and you make delruim out of it ( I think )
Armor: Enigma
Boots: Treks?
Gloves: I think Mages
Belt: Arach?
Rings: Sojs
amulet: maras?
Like I said I never made this barb.

Stats: Max War Cry and its Synergies and Max Bo :)
Without Bo your gonna suck a lot.



Im not sure but I think I have e general idea

I would use Sojs for rings because of the 25% mana and Mages over Trangs...
More mana and barbs will use it up quickly

I know but Barbs use the same FCR frames as a sorc, and you want to hit a frame that will be pretty good for your use.
You can still use a soj instead of the FCR ring, but also you will need that str mod from the ring so you can get more health and *mana*
But you trade off your fcr ring for a rFrost, Wisp, Dark Star.

Well ill right up a little thing for your WW Barb..

Gear
Full IK-For the sockets "Since its cheap" use sheal rune and low runes like that for them.. Or the best max/resist/ed/fhr/fcr jewels you can find/get.
Rings- 2x BK "IF PVM" If PvP then use The Angelic Trio
Ammy- Maras or +2/3 combat skiller ammy"PVM" for PvP Angelic Ammy
