Just coming back from a few months off of playing Diablo, so I was wondering what the general trends/current good builds and skills are. Here is my current armory:
So far I've been going through Act 3, MP0 no problem with this setup, just wondering what I should be looking for in equipment, weapons, etc. I only have like 500k gold right now, not much to work with, but I would like to know what I should be gearing towards.
should rename from Hodir to Brodir. Definitely a good swap.

Wow classic tanky style barb , reminds of the good ol days - spamming the revenge key hehehe.
Welcome back , barb builds these days are fast and furious to maximize paragon and farm effectively . - Whirlwind , Hammer of the ancients , Throw builds and Rend builds are the most popular at the moment. All have 1 thing in common - Speed both from equipment and the Sprint skill.
Look to upgrade movement speed , crit chance , crit hit damage.
Life steal works well once you start building up your dps - Barbs can use life steal from the passive , belts and weapons.
Hellfire ring can provide useful stats depending on the proc - also 35% bonus xp which is nice for paragon farming.
Some extra vitality and around 400-500 all res should be more than enough for mp0 -mp1 .
You are basically looking to increase damage and kill faster as "sword and board" isnt really needed for low level paragon farming.

Good luck and have fun out there
Haha, thanks. Yeah, I've been having fun even with the old build, Inferno is SO much easier now. But I can see how I am going a little slow, considering how easy it is.
Could I get a couple links to popular/standard/generic builds? Not wanting to carbon copy, but to get an idea of the current meta.
5 things will fit any build ... strength, crit hit, crit damg, all res, & speed. Prices are LOW on the AH if you're looking to buy, but with the good loot drops nowadays you can probably find your own upgrades in a day or two.
It really depends on what kind of build you have/want/use. For MP0 (or 1 or 2) IMO you don't really need to focus on those so much ... if you can 1-shot anything except elites then no worries
nmitty 1.0.5 budget barb guide for gearing. give you a very good base layout what should you go for and how to choose your pieces. he use ww build which most barb use and with his guide u can farm mp1-2 quite easily
Made some changes to gear and skills - any advice on what to upgrade next with about 1mil? I still feel pretty squishy in MP1, trying to do the Alk route.
