really nice guide.  I used it and im in the process of building a (new) charger right now.
here are some other weapons to consider for 2-h charge

Upped Ethereal/ZOD'd Pierre Tombale Couant - A cheaper version of Death RW & allows an easy 86% FHR BP.


And how about a 2-H Beast RW Axe?  I wonder what the results would be like to have constant Fanat. (Dmg/AR) stacked with Might (or Conc?  Can the "uninterrupted attack" bonus help here?)  You wouldn't lose any AR while changing from your main aura, either.  Another plus:  you won't have to invest in Fanat.  Anyone test this yet?
Oh right.  I noticed from FHR charts that spears/staves on pallies have a dramatic punch on their FHR rate.  It is for this reason that I steered clear from any type of spear.  Check it out here:  http://strategy.diabloii.net/news.php?id=551 Another thing, I heard something about the resist fire/lit/cold auras giving a passive bonus of 1% max res per point invested up to 5% total.  How does that work??  Would it be a smart few points to spend?

here is my idea i would liek to share with you all for vs baba

equips
ber shako 18dr
ber zaka 8dr
enigma 8dr (eni vs baba, coh for casters)
dungo 15dr    49dr here already
eth berzerk axe death runeword (50crushin / 45+deadly)
highlord 33+ deadly
20/2xx raven        - NO, you will need ar for vs barbs. angelics + raven.
bul kaoth ring
draculs (25open wound)
gorerider 15deadly, 15openwound, 15crushing

total gets 93+deadly, 65crushing, 40open wound

9x offensive gc here, why? look below
charge 15%dmg+/lvl 15%ar+/lvl    (combat)      575ed at lvl20
vigor  20%dmg+/lvl                          (defensive)  400  at lvl20
might  20%dmg+/lvl                          (offensive)  400  at lvl20
fanata 17%dmg+/lvl 5%ar+/lvl      (offensive)  373  at lvl20

u see here, 1 offensive skill charm adds 17dmg for fanat, 20 for might thats
total 37%dmg increase only by 1sk  and it increases 5 extra % AR which is dam big    - Synergies DO NOT WORK like this.

for the reason to use eni when vsing baba, is cuz u can use merc without him walkin away and dying quickly
hire act2 merc with might aura wearing eth reapers toll that has 33% chance of casting decripfy on him. -50% dmg reduction, 50%slow and shit
might@lvl20 adds 230%ed  also eni has teleport to run away from babas tele/ww, if u charge to run from it, his tele locking ur name will let him teleport
on you charging away and gonna be easy ww hitting, but if u use tele instead of charge to get away, its harder for him to hit u

why coh/eni for armor and zaka for shield?
HIGH* resis on both
zaka adds 20str/vita, high blocking
coh adds 20str, 8%dr
2 to all skills on COH, please look at the table above, can add 144%edamage AND* 20% AR,  wow big. forti adds 300ed? life? 2skills from coh can increase bo and there is no meaning if the attack doesnt hit, so AR is important
same for zaka, 2 to pally skill, 2 combat can increase total 174%edamage AND* 30% AR

so lets see
forti/phoenix 700ed+ 30resis 100life
coh/zaka 318ed+ 115resis, 16%dr, 40str+, 20vita+, highblocking, 50%AR+, 2+to bo

best barb killing build is a smiter with huge defense flashing holy freeze using grief pb exile etc. you could still have a strong charge as a secondary but it wont be as strong as pure charge 2hand.

Nice guide =) But i have some info about deadly strike wich some of you might know about, and others maybe dont

Deadly strike works as follows:
If you have lets say, 45DS from Death weapon, and 35 from highlord, and 15 from gore, it does NOT mean u have a total chance of 95 deadly strike.
When u land a hit, d2 will calculate from ds to ds, wich means: When u land a hit, first the death ba is possible, so 45/100 chance, IF its NOT ds, the highlord will come in with a chance of 35/100 etc etc
So there is no such thing as 90+ ds, so if u have 1 item with high Ds its enough imo. couse IF it may miss, the chance that gore does hit (15/100) isnt that high. Still, the more the better =)
