hey guys i jsut started and am making a barbarian.do stat points work like they do in diablo? or how should i assign mine?

It looks like you're on hardcore, I would put your first 10 stat points into vita.
Depending on what weapon you will be using, for axes I like to go all str for the high consistent damage. For swords/ other weapons you want to keep a balance/ shoot for 100+ dex with your gear.

ok what should my str and vita be then?

and thx btw :)

ur vita shud be 70 total and ur str we cant tell u it depends onur climb but ul want the most str u can afford and go str charms EE ARMORS perferably plates and chains AND get ee axe
