Quote:High Warcry for stun duration (twin Spirits or somesuch on switch) coupled with Taunt and you're pretty much safe. I have a barb in Act V Hell now and there isn't much that can hurt him. Dual ranged boss packs with Amp and something else made him drink, but other monsters are pretty much ignorable.
He's no mass killer, but he is one of the safest (and, granted, most boring) characters I've had.
As for high damage weapons, with Warcry you can afford to go 2-handed with an autocruel™ Insight polearm. High damage + good Critical Strike chance. Not sure about the speed though, might be dreadfully slow. But like librarian said, if you play a Concentrate Barbarian, you must have lots of patience to begin with.
Ok, this is for you and Occy.
I thought the post was about Barbarians not Borebarians.
Edit: Actually there is a way, solo and not twinked... in fact I did it, I just forgot. It requires trading. After taking about 6-8 months off, when .11 came out I started a ladder Barb. Through trading (I got lucky and got Um in Hellforge on Nite and that started it rolling), I eventually got him 2 BOTDs, and he was fine. Not powerful, but ok. At lvl 85 or so, I got bored and quit D2 for good this time, I think. So, technically, he was untwinked and solo, heh.
