Ok this is what i suggest

The char i would advise to use is a Strength/Vita tank barb. Reason being is because they can tank mob's and are very good use in catacomb's

Starting Stat's:
Str: 60
Dex: 25
Int: 5
Vit: 60

Pump the first 10 into vita. Which make you have.
Str: 60
Dex: 25
Int: 5
Vit: 70

Then first 30 level's add to vita. Which make you have
Str: 60
Dex: 25
Int: 5
Vit: 100

Then rest of your level's you want to add strength:
Str: 100
Dex: 25
Int: 5
Vit: 100

This is what it should look like without the stat's add'd from gear.
Now on gear: If you want to cata the barb 1-71 this is what i suggest:
L1-71
Weapon: Club, Sword, Axe. I would use a axe but that is your choice
Have as much ee as possible.
2nd mod i would want life ot strength add'd.
(this for 1-71 also)Armor: Plate or chain mail. Have As much ee as you can get on. 2nd mod i would want is strength and possibly get life if you can
Charm: Now this the tricky part. People would say use strength with dex. I would use strength and possibly life

Now if your going to single player it's alot different
L1-71
Weapon: Club, Sword, Axe. i would use a axe in this case
Armor: Chain or plate mail. Now try to get much enhanced effect as possible. (bonus life steal)
Charm: L1-20 i would use life per kill and as much of it. L20-71 i would use strength( bonus life steal) or
Alot enhanced effect on a armor as possible.
And find a 10life steal charm if you want.
or
Alot enhanced effect on a armor with strength or life steal.
And on charm have 1 or the other or both

This is my guide for a tank/strength barb for a started.
i know the gear sound's exspenive but you can get it fairly cheap

What you guy's think?

Good Guide! 3/5

how many times are people going to rewrite the same guide

nn so much vita

Yes, this guide should be called guide for a tank barb not for starting ladder slasher players..
Crap guide anyway, Tank barbs suck, they just do crap damage, and with 100vit and 100str good luck taking a week+ to get to MQ (thats if u cata evrytime)
You didnt mention tiers.
Axe not a good option incase you pass MQ.
You would be critted by mobs nearly evrytime.
If your gonna have 100vit at least roll a guardian and get a good heal charm.. much better than having a 100vit barb doing less than 100dmg.
2/5

Stop writing guides on your 3rd climb..

lol 3rd climb?

ive done over hundreds and hundreds of climb's.
i guess ur 2 much of a retard to understand ur going to have 100vita and 100str W/O THE GEAR
dumass...

and for this guide i wud suggest being used on hardcore.

hundreds???
why would you even say that

Anyone have a good advice for SC Fighter build?

for softcore fighter build.

well. i wud go 125dex and rest strength.
for stat's

and gear basically cud be the same
instead tank armor find str or dex with possibly life steal
