Hi!
Thanks for the input.
My only concern is, without using dual-wield, I will lose a lot of magic find (about 150% from a duel-ISTed ali baba.) I will also not be able to dualwield the unique rondel which gives + 4 to find item.
I realise choosing a polearm for my mastery would allow me to cause more damage, but it'd cut into my MF-count. Same with using parts of the tal rasha set. It'll give me *some* MF, but not max. A skullder's armor, MF-amulet, goldwrap/harlequin will give me more MF than the Tal Rasha-set up. I have the entire set, so I could certainly try it when my I reach the appropriate level requirement, but the point with making this barbarian is getting as close to the 1157%MF-cap as possible.
edit: It seems I can carry 2 swords simultaniously, without having the dual-wield-skill. I didn't know I could do that. With that in mind, I think it would be wiser to go for a polearm-barb and have dual-alibabas as the secondary attack, and two heart carvers in the inventoy for examining the corpses of Pindleskin and Shenk for any extra loot. I have a max enhanced dmg (240%)unique thresher I haven't put to use yet. I guess this weapon would do nicely.
