http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=56485568As far as advice on how to stat/skill/gear, here is a run-of-the-mill Barbarian guide. Keep in mind this isn't the only way to play him, it's just how I like to from time to time.
Weapons: Swords and Clubs with Enhanced Effect (EE helps add damage as it enhances the weapons effect)
Armor: Scales and Leathers with Enhanced Effect (EE helps to tank as it enhances the armors effect)
Charm: Anything with +STRENGTH as Swords and Clubs both benefit from this more than any other stat.
I add 5-10 points to VITALITY to start out with just to add some more HP later on, I enjoy tanking and sitting in the front row protecting all the squishy robe wearers in the back. I add to STRENGTH the rest of the climb, as I find it gets the most bang for the buck and it is the dominant damage stat when it comes to Swords (and also Clubs)
You can substitute Plates and Chains for the armor I suggested, I just prefer Scale. You can also use +STRENGTH armors, but your tanking powers would be reduced in exchange for a damage boost from the +STR.
I also suggest you learn what items sell for 1fg. I made an old guide about what to look for, give it a read once you figure out the basics.
