max/ar/life

For pvm you don't need high ar, prioritize max/life stats
more life = more stats dumped into dex = more dmg and hit chance

For pvp, well, you want as high as possible in all 3 stats

For PvM, the cheapest ones you can find. Just mix and match.

For PvP, unless you can afford some perfect ones, you often just better go with the best bang for your buck (which is often large charms).
All 3 stats are practically equally valuable, so you can just compare their relative price-to-effectiveness ratio based on how many slots they take.

Idk so I’m kinda asking too…

I read a post about 30def/20life scs. Are these very effective in pvp melee duels?

Definitely not for a throw barb.
I guess it could potentially be good on a conc barb, but I have no interest in such bvb duels so I won't calculate how it fairs against a 3/20/20 lol

PvM or PvP?

What item bases are you using? example: are you wearing Sacred Armor (runeworded) for best defense (heavy) vs Archon Plate (light)? Reasoning is FRW would make a big difference because of encumbrance penalty of base items weight. Movement speed, do you need more?

Faster Hit Recovery speaks for itself, since you are a throw barb, you should not be hit, however other ranged attackers (monster (archer) or player (bowazon) could hit, thus stuck in FHR animation)

What balance do you want with charms in your setup?

I am not sure if any of the PvP players remember the Tri Tele stomp method of a Hammerdin, or if it is even used in D2r or other characters where FHR was needed and how MB animation was Locked down by this method, a-long with Amazon Passive skills DAE were stuck without being able to attack or get out.

I am not sure how people PvP in D2r or the mechanics these days, but maybe there are some things people haven't mentioned because they believe in Maxroll for answers that only portray basic numbers.
