Hi friends.

I'm brand new to barb and would love to start PvPing as one. WW is not my cup of tea, and I was curious if there are other viable skills that work well for PvP. I'm sure this has been discussed as nauseam, but most of the guides I'm finding are WW. Lmk whats out there!

Generally ww is the best choice.

You could try berserk but you'd probably be better off just maxing ww with 1 point berserk.

Throw barb is an option but not very good either for pvp.

Don't try warcry lol

Max increased speed ebotd wp zerk barb.

Its going to be mostly ww though, my man. Unless you want to get in to some niche BvB Conc ladders..

The reason why WW is the best is because of Tri Whirl and Tele stomp, otherwise a Frenzy barb would have been better... oh... you just noticed, no one else mentioned a Frenzy barb earlier.

EDIT: Frenzy is a Kite barb, issue is, PvP, you can not build up the kite speed attacks effectively as PvM.
