After reading a lot of topics on this forum in the past week i have managed to get my barbarian from 60k Damage at PL-0 to a 130k unbuffed Damage at PL-19.
However, im not sure where do i go gear-wise from now... what next move will improve my hero the most?
I can solo MP5 fairly easy but anything above that is a bit of a struggle (My goal is to solo MP10 smoothly on all acts and reach atleast 250k Damage unbuffed - note that im not a high budget player, atm got 25M gold and a few MIL bids on my auctions)
Str: 2299
Damage (With Battle Rage): 156k
All resist (With War Cry): 719
HP: 40k
Life steal 8.6% - i know its high but i seem to die wiithout it quite a bit
Critical Hit Chance (With Battle Rage): 51.5%
Critical Hit Damage: 481%
APS: 1.3 - Using a 2 handed Skorn
First of all, soloing mp 10 "smoothly" as you suggested requires alot more than ~20m gold so just wanted to point that out.
Now, you seem to be stacking on IAS (rings, lacuni, etc) which is very nice in theory since you use skorn and it's slow and all, but you need alot more strength on your items and getting that along with trifecta will cost you alot. So my first suggestion would be to lose the trifecta rings and get rings with STR + VIT + AR + CC + CD. these rings can be quite cheap.
Your Skorn is a bit low on the dps and not to mention the gems you got on your Skorn and armor are quite bad so this is another place for improvement.
It will be hard to replace Andariel's visage since it gives such a dps boost but it lacks EHP stats like AR and %Life. Obviously, getting a crit mempo will be awesome but that is out of your budget i'm afraid.
You got too much life steal to be honest. I'd lose the LS skorn and get one with like ~1400 dps, high str and ~180% CD. You can use the Bloodthirst passive (Instead of brawler) and it will be more than enough along with your IK belt.
Your amulet is nice but you need one with CD too.
Your shoulders and gloves are quite nice.
Rend is the most awesome skill for survivability. I would replace Warcry with Rend (Bloodlust rune if you change the LS skorn, Lacerate rune if you keep it).
You can keep the Skorn, just use Rend. It's basically a must. It will cover for the loss of survivability from changing Warcry. Whirlwind + Rend is a very solid build. As i said before, you can get rid of the LS Skorn and get one without LS but like 200 more DPS. Again, Rend (With Bloodlust) will cover up for that.
sorry if im jumping in here or anything but was just wondering how this gear is. what would be good mp lvl to farm on with this gear. and what things can I change out. I have been gone from game for like 6 or 7 months so im a bit rusty. i also have a really bad no socket EF and 1h i use the scorn gives me a bit higher dmg but i get more fury from DW obviously. not sure what i actually do more dps with though. I only have 20mil right now no idea how people are supposed to make money now adays 200mill items from when i last played are now worth like 100k lol.

Good luck.
My gems are a result of self crafting so things come a bit slow... (getting the designs and the mats).
The gloves, amulet and shoulders i've crafted myself - i really prefer crafting and gathering materials than counting on drops..
Ill try to roll withou War cry but the Fury and the protection really help, i dont know why but i feal squishy as hell without my high LS and AR.
