First build

[Kriemoon]

I'm now level 30 or something and these are my findings:

Stuff with +vitality is needed to survive bigtime. Items can easily give you +500 hp each and that's alot. I need like 2-3k health in act4 to easily whirlwind my way through I go 1-hand + shield btw

So... skills:

Cleave: Just by far the best? Don't know... just seems the best to me (explode rune)
Whirlwind: Actually a good skill, whirlwind can get you in and out of bad situations (+ speed rune)
Leap: is nice I use the + armor thing so I can jump into mobs (armor rune)
Revenge: This skill is awesome! It does loads of damage, good AoE and heals for alot too (not sure which rune)
War cry: not sure yet, increased dmg but maybe not awesome. kinda waiting till I get the MF rune for it (for now extra dmg rune)
Earthquake: Skill I reserve for rare monsters and bosses, works really well. (not sure which rune)

Will update later with the correct names

Noteworthy is that Barbs (and also Monks) take 30% less dmg overall than wizard, DH and WD
