you played a barb before? what do you want your barb to be able to do? single target damage, good overall ttk, tank, mf. does it matter if it teleports?

ww barbs do good up through p5 anyway. there is a good guide in the stickies. if you follow it you will do fine. id play it safer though and use arreats and make a vita build instead of capping your life a 3000. also big sword r better imo i would go with grief zwiehanders or 1 zwie and death cs. grief+death is better at boss killing. i personally use a grief cb and a death cs to pvm with my bvb. i have the stats to use a cb grief without stating for it though. pbs aren't bad for pvm though and they are fast enough to not get bothered much by chill and decrap. l just like the range more.

the simple solution is if you have any of them. use them because they will all work.

grief cb not as good for pvm because it has high stat requirements.

grief pbs don't have as much range but are the fastest and don't have to be repaired. this is what most people seem to like best.

grief zwie have good range and speed but has the lowest damage. not that big of deal though the roll will matter more.

Death is the cheapest and does the best damage to bosses because it has alot of crushing blow and deadly strike. downside is it is really slow and will be hard to get max ww speed. it is still pretty good a the 5 frame break point. for pvm you want to pair it with a zwiehander.
