One thing is for sure my first char will be a Barbarian. I started off with a warrior in Diablo 1, followed by a Barbarian in Diablo 2. On all the games I played, from Baldur's Gate to Wow, I've always been the warrior guy. I just love it, and can't wait to play again the Barbarian in Diablo 3.
I gave it a thought, and here is the build I propose.
This would be a softcore build, heavily based on I'll-kill-many-before-I-die. I don't see this build being viable much further after Nightmare mode, but I hope it will help me go through the beginning quickly before I get to the real meat of the game.
Here are some thoughts:
Bloodthirst and Unforgiving as passive are the only skills which will ensure (at least I hope) almost infinite supply of life and rage until far into Nightmare.
Then it is a rage fest, with no defensive skills, a good frenzy, which is apparently same as in D2, and whirlwind as a rage dump. When things go wrong I stun my foes with the Hammer or the Charge. Revenge is there to give me a boost from time to time. And the call of the ancients is really there because I love this spell. I just want to kill demons with my ancient fellows.
Berserker rage might be replaced if I clearly see I can't maintian my rage level high.
I expect to die with that build, and I want to, in order to prepare for my hardcore char. That's fine with me.
