My barb is pretty much a dual welding barb, I love the damage, so frenzy and WW is my skill of choice.

Right now I have WW at level 13, frenzy at 8 and beserk is at lev 7.
Beserk just sucks I think. Anyways, I was wondering should I take the remaining skill points I have left in the game and throw it at beserk?

Will it get better later if I build it up? Right now I just die within seconds of using it.
Just for some more info, this is what my barb is equipped with: ANY tips, opinions, or hints are welcome!

Helm
Areat's Face
Armor
Spirit Forge (going to be replace with a 4 sckt ornate plate runeworded)
Gloves
Gylph Cluthes
Belt
Razortail
Boots
Aldur's advance
Weapons:
left hand
Aldur's Rythyme
right hand
Sword Guard

have a stone ring of jordon, a amulet thats + 2 to masteries and 20% chance for magic items, and then a + 50 poison damage ring

Right now I"m just hacking away in search of runes and building levels.

Maxing Berserk won't hurt, since it will give magic damage to your Frenzy attacks, which is handy against Physical Immune Monsters, though you won't generally leach from magic damage alone.

That synergy helps.

When using Berserk, crowd control is important. If you use a Merc, you might want to pay a bit of attention to how you can use him as a shield. Or, go for a Holy Freeze Merc . . .

The synergy that Taunt gives to Frenzy is worth looking into, if you don't mind rebuilding. If you max Taunt, you find that non boss monsters have a significant reduction to damage and to hit (and hence damage to you) when Taunted, and I love it as a crowd control device.

The old feature where Taunt did NOT over write Battle Cry has apparently be fixed as of 1.10 going live. In the 1.10 "beta" it stacked with Battle Cry and significantly reduced damage done.

For what it's worth.
