WW Barb - need some helpage

[ZConnor]

Ok, first thing, I have searched for a WW barb and only found the PvP WW barb in the stickies. I want this char to be PvM.

I have a WW/Frenzy barb that is a great build but I want a pure WW barb.

This is what I'm thinking:

MAX Shout/WW/Battle Orders
Natural Resist to 75 in hell
1 to prereqs [including battle commands], increase speed, iron skin

If this is good to go this way, where should I place the extra points?? More in iron skin? Another attack skill??

I'm leaving weapon mastery out until I decide on what to go with as a last weapon.

Thanks for any help in advance!!

Every pvm ww barb has to max these skills:

Used weapon mastery
Whirlwind
Shout
Battle orders
1 to Battle command, inc.stamina / speed, iron skin and natural resist

All the rest into Berserk. Or, if you want, into Iron skin or Increased Speed. But I prefer Berserk; a faster way to kill immunes.

Thanks DJNAt,

At least I was on with the stats, now if I can just get that gear...

Would it realistic to have this char with an eth botd thunder maul or should I go with one handed wep and SS?

You'd be better off with EBotD Zerker or CB than Thunder Maul. If you truly value damage over ability to survive that much though, T Maul would be managable, just realize the sacrifice you're making.

Thanks SweatyOgre,

I know the one hander is the safer bet but I just fell in love with that thunder mauls mad damage.

Alas, my dreams usually get shattered...
