The second week for my Barb was a stark contrast from her starting week. Largely due to being locked into her skills without sprint or leap, so it felt like I was going at a snails pace. Combine that with larger zones to clear (and double-backing), pretty bad latency, mediocre gear (was on my old weapon from lvl 21 until 29)- I'm not surprised she was only able to reach lvl 30.
But I do have so say her skills are fun and work together quite well. I LOVE weapon throw, especially since I really don't use that much rage and always have ample amounts for when I need to pelt runners or those exploding lanatics. Cleave, Earthquake, and Ignore Pain work as expected, all are awesome for AoE, Bosses, and Champion Packs. Rend is definitely the least used skill as cleave normally does the job. I'll use Red against melee mobs where I have to hit and run, such as the Khazra or the Demonic Tremors.
But all in all things are going great, having a lot of fun with her. Had to drop some +exp gear for vitality as soon as I entered zones where the fallen lanatics were eagerly awaiting to ruin the party. Look forward in seeing how my DH fares in week 2.
