Hi, I just came back to the game. A friend mentioned a lot of barbarians are doing different things. I do decent as is, but I was looking at builds. It is a bit overwhelming now, to see all of these builds that work well. I was hoping for some insight as to what plays the best. I was a LoH shield user. If this build is still good I will work with it, and maybe save gear for another build.
defensive builds dont exist so much anymore, since inferno has been nerfed so much that the high levels of mres/armor/life on hit are no longer as necessary
with high end gear more common, life steal is better than life on hit since you can easily achieve upwards of 100k dps, making life seal more effective
majority of farming barbarians run "double whirlwind" afaik, which is sprint with run like the wind and whirlwind with hurricane, which allows you to basically spin through large packs effortlessly
if you want to farm exp, do monster power 1, look up alkaizer route for a good start
if you want to farm gear, do the highest monster power you can without dying and still at a rate fast enough that u don't have to stop for trash, same route will do fine, but this one is probably more preference
50%+ crit chance, 24% movement speed, 2.15+ atk/s unbuffed, 6000 armor, 600 all res, 9% life steal, 50k HP.
Then you do pretty much what you want in the game with a barb. Mostly whirlwind or hammer of the ancients these days.

I do not know what to do now, I want to start playing again. But I want to know what's up before I get back into it. Thanks in advance.
