Building a barbarian

[Chaostheory]

1. When we finished baal the red portal was put practically off of the cliff and I wasn't able to go into it. Has this happened to anyone? I was only able to get the ending by saving & exiting.

Sometimes this thing happens to me too, it is only a little bug, doesn't really matter cause you can end the quest by saving & exiting

2. My friend who had beaten the game said to wait for all the waves baal sent out first. If your strong enough can you beat him down beforehand?

hmm.. i am not sure what you are talking about..
wawes...? :huh:
If you mean the monster "wawes", tha baal sents, and you mean it is possible to beat baal when still in throne of destruction, your friend has just fooled you, there is no way to even damage Baal before entering the Worldstone Chamber.

3. I left some quests 'open' cause I don't know when to use them. They include the imbue an item quest in Act I; the socket an item quest in act V and the one I still don't quite understand yet the Personalize an item quest from Anya also in Act V. What does the Personalize quest mean is the quest and also when is best to IMBUE a weapon and SOCKET the other?

Personalizing an item only makes your name appear infront of the item's name that you have personalized, for example: KingofKewl's War axe

When would i imbue a weapon... practicially never :P but i think u should wait untill u get to act5 and find a good exeptional or :P elite version of an item (non-magical of course)

Before using larzuk's "socket item" u should really think what u socket, cause u can only socket 3 times per char, i'd say that you wait untill you are really REALLY sure about what you socket...

4. I was referring to a barbarian builde while making this character and have been following it pretty faithfully except holding off on one or two things till I checked in with you guys.
 
This is how my build is going. 18 in axes, 2 increased stamina and 1 Speed, I got about 7 in Iron Skin (told to max), I've got about 2 in resist all elements so far (he said he'd been playing along time and to put 5 points in this Skill). I also have 2 points in leap and I dunno weather to put more into it or some into leap attack or just to leave these stats alone. Now I have 2 points in Battle Orders which helps out some, he says to max this and that Battle Orders is not worth bothering with. Yet alot of people swear by this. What is the most useful War cry to max out? And what ones can stack?
The last one I remember is him saying to put 10 points in concentrate. I havnt put any into that yet but would like to if its good. thanks

Thanks for any questions you can answer :-)

I think all the Warcries you make (those that affect yourself) stack as long as the skill says, you can't "overwrite" them with another war cry,
if u use another it just stacks with the other war cry... (not sure)
The most useful war cry? I think it depends on what kind of baba you make, but overall my opinion is Battle orders...
