    Barbs only use Axes & Hammers. Therefore you will always need 3 str every level for any build. I find the tank build is the best (3 vit 6 str and 1 dex every 10 points), because you have more HP, and Blood Bath makes up for accuracy.
    An easier way to do a tank build is, either do 3 str and 2 dex or 1 vit 3 str and 1 dex every level until your dex is at 49 (or 60 if you want that extra crit), so then all you have to remember every time you level after that is to put 3 str and 2 vit.

    best build for barbs:

    TANK BUILD...why? because you will have more HP and high defense and also tank build is the best for TW, FB, GV, BH, etc...

    if your going to build your barb TANK BUILD, stop around 50 dex or 60 dex...based your DEX and STR to the latest weapon and armor and the rest VIT.

    i tried this build and it works pretty well on my barb:

    STR VIT DEX
    2 2 1
    2 3 0
    3 1 1

    Read the sticky, don't put any magic points and just follow your next axes/hammers and armour requirements, bearing in mind that you will always be wearing heavy armour.

    Or you can go mental and make the LA fist barb someone was sugesting in another post...

    I love freedom of choice.

    May I direct you to mom's bowbarian guide b:sin

    Seriously go with the tank build, it is the best by far. The most hp, best tanker, and armegaddeon will do way more damage. There is really no specific build, just put enough points into str and dex to wield the weapon and armor you need and the rest into vit.

    Sounds about right
