Ok this is my loose idea for what I see as an extremely high damage barbarian.
Skills:
Sword Master-20
Whirlwind-20
Battle Orders-20
The rest will be put in iron skin and like 1 or 2 in natural resist. Maybe another war cry, I'm not sure.
Gear:
I plan on switching between 2 call to arms swords to hit up a BO of like 40 or higher and a breath of dieing(ya I know...) and a shield with 4 ohms. Some of this gear will take quite a while, but most of the stuff I want is runes so on ladder ifyou spend enough time countess running eventually you can cube them up.
I'll probably try to get a socketed ornate plate and fill that with ohms. Goblin toe boots and some kind of crushing blow gloves and belt (suggestions?) Also I'm not sure what rings, but I'll definitely use a crafted blood amulet.
Lastly I forget the name of it but there's a new helm that has 2 open sockets (again with the ohms) and gives good stuff as well, I think some + to skills.
I would stuff my inventory with masteries charms and maybe some poison or 3/20/20's.
This is obviously a very rough idea, I just want to try to max the damage of whirlwind and it seems like throwing massive amounts of +50% damage runes would pick it up real fast. I welcome any kind of suggestions and critiques, plus there's probably a bunch of new gear I haven't looked at yet with the patch.
