Well, i just recently moved to a new apartment and while i was unpacking all my shit from storage i found my DII cds and LOD cd. I know i shouldn't get back into the game but it looks like it is to late, snice i already installed it :(
I need to know what would be your choice of char to build. I'm a pvper and i've always used a barb ever snice v1.03. But im not sure snice i saw alot of people saying casters own, ect. So what char would you use and what items would you use for it? Thanks

since you like barbs the best gear for barbs is:
Enigma sacred/kraken(best def) or anything with high def
BoTD Eth CB
SteelRend ogre gloves
Storm shield
Angelic ammy and 2 rings
Up'd Gore Riders
Up'd Arreat's Face
Perf Verdungo's coil
and have 10 wc gc's for bo then switch back to either combat/masteries gc's or 3/20/20 life
VERY VERY VERY expencive...but ya by far the top of the line gear for a barb :D :D
Wasn't sure on Verdungo's so I just ... ya.

To be honest I would think a botd eth zerker would be better than a CB for one hand dmg when using a shield....

I compared them once...
1 handed, the zerker is much better. Lower Reqs / Higher dmg / Faster (I think) / Same range (3).

reason why i pick the cb over zerker is b/c that u have the option for 2 handed use to be more versatile vs in-general dueling like against sorcs's and all pure elemental types, even against some melee classes u are able to use 2 hands and slaughter them with ease due to the sheer raw power of 2x the damg of 1 hand, thus making ur killing efficiency 2x better

I made a barb with a storm and zerker botd, then switch to thunder maul for casters... Shield is pointless for casters two hand weaposn pwn them :) but when doing bvb or any melee it's best to use a shield and for one hand dmg the zerker has more dmg

Well, yeah. Going 2H vs. other melee usually isn't a good idea anymore, when life leech is all but dead in PvP.
Against casters it can be ok, but often, I find more use for the resists from Stormshield. I know a good 2H weapon would hurt casters though.
Back in 1.08, before people really caught on to Damage Reduction and Fury, I had a barb who would switch to a Cruel War Pike for sorcs. Usually a 1-hit kill. :D
Make a CS Zon, they're fun for dueling meele chars, :D
