[alonsa]

i ahve a bvc barb lv 84 and i built him like this

STATS: i put 39 into strength, come to think of it i dont know why, other than that the rest went int vit

SKILLS: 20 axe mastery, 20 bo, 20 natural resist, 2 points into bc, 20 ww, 2 iron skin

GEAR: ap nigma, arreats (chamed), highlords (eventually p maras) 2 raven frosts (2 bks eventually) sand treks, dungos, dracs, doom and beast (on other side i will be getting last wish and grief) and a 16/19 b torch and 19/17 anni

if anybody has tips, please let me know

Pretty good but if you don't have ANY into dex then you're not going to hit as often as you would like.

I think you might overestimating the power of skills. Maras and dual bk don't really do much for you. You'll want to have at least AR so you can hit.

Go with Gore Riders instead of Treks as well.

^^ Good advice right there.

Highlords + 2x Ravens are much, much better than 2xBKs + Mara.

Also, Last Wish is garbage for a whirlwind barb as it is far too slow. Grief and Beast are the axes you want. If you can't afford a Grief than ebotdz will work too. Doom is a good switch weapon.

alright im trying to get a grief and ill just keep doom in my stash, when would i switch? and ill keep the highlords and ravens then

how much dex do u sugest?

[Zarley]

No points in DEX. Get AR from your gear.

[alonsa]

Ar?

[Zarley]

Attack Rating.

STATS: i put 39 into strength, come to think of it i dont know why, other than that the rest went int vitThat's fine, BvC's are known to be "vita" builds.

SKILLS: 20 axe mastery, 20 bo, 20 natural resist, 2 points into bc, 20 ww, 2 iron skinAll fine except for what I pointed out. You should have no need to EVER put that many points into Nat Res. The MOST I'd ever put is enough to get 60 res all with my pure BvC setup. To me, any more than 3 points on Nat Res is a waste...5 if you have crap for skillers. BC should always be 1...always. You get no further bonuses from it than how long it lasts, and you can get that from Shout.

GEAR: ap nigma, arreats (chamed), highlords (eventually p maras) 2 raven frosts (2 bks eventually) sand treks, dungos, dracs, doom and beast (on other side i will be getting last wish and grief) and a 16/19 b torch and 19/17 anniWhy Cham Arreats if you have Ravens? Chances are the only cold characters you'll face, you'll be using the Highlord's/Raven combo anyway. Clear that socket and put something more useful in it. Highlord's/Ravens>>>>>Mara's/BKs
Gores>Treks (Like Gunit said)
BotD or Grief for your main hand weapon (Like Zarley mentioned)
Either two Dooms on switch or +3 to Warcry weapons. If you can only use one Doom then have it in your stash to switch with Beast in BM duels.
LW is garbage on WW compared to Grief or BotD.

And to add onto AR options...the belt/boots combo of the Hsarus' set works well, too.

What kind of Scs do you have in your Inventory?

Life and 5 to all resists are the best if you didnt know, that is if you can afford 3/20/20s that would be the better option. But life and resist scs are good.

Also you should try to get Trang gloves and arachs for some FCR, it comes in handy.
