Im starting a one handed sword berserk barband if anyone knows a real good setup for my barb in the future plz tell me. Wow im randomI'd suggest you try this build out in single player with a character editor first. In many ways it is the worst of all possible worlds. You don't do decent damage because you are 1-handed; you won't hit much because you'll spend a lot of the game in block lock; you have zero defense and can look forward to being in hit recovery for most of nightmare difficulty; you have no leech and will be chugging potions continually; and berzerk's synergies are useless.
If you're looking for a more successful build I'd recommend Concentrate with a 2-handed weapon. The high defense means you can tank without a shield so don't have to waste points in dexterity; one of the synergies is Battle Orders which you were going to max anyway; and the attack is uninterruptible. And if you get lucky and find the whole IK set, for which there really is no substitute, you can wear it.
