Best Barb build for HC

[Nektu]

Alright, I was wondering, what the best Barb build for HC would be. Including gear, weapons etc.

I really never played much with the Barbarian, although i would imagine a Frenzy, or WW barb would be very good. With BO and it's synergies maxed maybe.

You should look around on the Guides section of the forums, as the HC board is rarely active.

Yeah, I could of looked at the build section. But I wanted to get some thoughts from people who play barbs for HC. Thanks.

dh play a HC barb (who is currently lvl 65 i think) who use concentrate, a defiant merc, and use a sword and shield (max block). When he attack, he have more than 6k of defence if i remember correctly.
He also use leap attack and berserk on some rare circomstance.
And have point in natural resistance of course.
Very huge tank, may take long to kill anything, but he have plenty of time since it seems the monsters just cant do him anything....

I love barbs.

I would say the best barb for HC would be a BO barb.
Cause if you max the stats Perfectly for a BO barb. Its really hard to die from anything.

For ex. I just recently made a new HC BO Barb.. im lvl 39 running threw act 2 on Nightmare and nothing can hurt me..but im owning everything in my path..

Also for a barb get a Act 2 Offensive Merc.. So u can hit higher.
