Nice idea but i would only put one into Battle Command sense your going barb vs. barb and none into increased speed you really dont need it. im liking the iron skin though. very useful sense it is passive and mixed with shout you can be untouchable. but remember that other bvb characters will be trying to accomplish the same thing so all in all it will end up being who have the best dueling skills as opposed to who has the best barb.

Not good. Have a 2nd look and realize why.

Dex for Max Block when he doesnt have a shield, xD

**SilverTears** · 09-03-2007, 12:10 AM

bah, i forgot the shield.
i added the shield and dex reason.
frater what was wrong?

Why Enigma for BvB? Wouldn't something with way higher def be a better Idea? Mabye a Sacred Fort or Stone? I mean yeah, you will need to spend more on STR but a couple Warcry lifers will make up for the lost VIT. Oh yeah, why the arachs BTW? woudln't a dungos or tgods be more purpose oriented?

**SilverTears** · 09-03-2007, 03:10 PM

well, the fort is an optional choice. i only use it sometimes. and dungos is stashed. this is just my opinion.

good call i agree with you 100% about the enigma the enhanced defense if worth it for sure. and as for arachnids i have to say i think he was going for the +skills but for BVB it doesn't matter.

Oh come on, are you trying to kid me?
As a simple summary:
1) Fort > Enigma. It's not a matter of opinion, it's what works and what doesn't.
2) Weapons are fine, but include Fury RW for OW build.
3) There's only 1 set of jewely for a BvB and that's Angelic rings + amu.
4) Goreriders > Grim Spurs
5) Since when can rare boots spawn with IAS%?
6) Belt = Verdungo, why on earth would you pick Arachnid (unless of course, you're a BM noob and want the slow target mod).
7) Wizzy gloves, CoA, Vamp Gaze in stash? What for?
8) Skill distribution is dire.
9) Nothing on charms?

I'm not sure whether you got the right idea when you wrote BvB in the title? This is possibly the worst BvB in the world, it couldn't be a BvA and obviously not a BvC. I don't have a single positive thing to say about this "guide", it's simply dire. I'd advise you to delete this entire thread and do some research before you start writing guides.
