the only art in bvb is knowing how to build one properl; only that and luck determines who wins which is why they are boring


you can't be more wrong. especially in no mana pot duels.

I disagree a little bit with the stat placements for a put bvb barb.

There is no need for berzerk, inc speed, or inc stamina. Also, I personally like to split points between iron skin and ww.

Using eth up'd arreats, sacred fort, up'd gores, rends, angelics, dungos with max/ar/life and ar/life gc's this split got me 5k life, 22k ar, and 33k def which seemed to be my magic numbers.

i love the natural resist part of your guide. shout and iron skin are THE most important skills you will need.
so max ww mastery bo shout iron skin. thats it.

indeed berzerk isn't needed, but inc speed is definitely needed on a bvb.
btw, you're playing a def barb, which imo is the worst build : low life / ar , with a little bit more damages than everyone else (not even sure since you've got some ar/lifers) , and just a good def (not exceptional)
fyi, you don't reduce the chance to hit for the other barb that much with 33k def compared to 25k or so, which is usually what barbs using up arre / forti ap achieve. But they got 1k++ life than you
and for the last point concerning splitting point between iron skin and ww... how horrible ! How can you suggest tu lose some 8% dmg and 5% ar bonus from 1 point in ww to win something like 300 def from iron ???

/@ksir no, bvb is not all about def, defbuild is 1 build, nothing more (and as said, i think it's one of the less effective builds)
