Seeing as my mules were starting to fill up with all sorts of stuff, I thought I'd put some of it to use by making a new character. I always wanted to see how much magic find I could stack onto a single character, so the barbarian was a natural choice (seeing as my MF-sorc has about 650-700% MF)
But which skills should I choose. Obviously, I want to make use of the "find item"-skill; additionally, dual-wielding ali babas will give me even more MF. Another point, is that by making a dual-sword barbarian, I get to play around with the Bul Kathos-set which I acquired last week. But what other skills should I use? Frenzy? Berserk? I seem to remember whirlwind blows quite considerably when not using anything but a polearm, so I'm ruling that skill out immediately.
What about stats? Should I do do my barbarian what I did to my sorc - pumping vitality up to 300? Or should I go for more strength or dexterity?
Right now, I'm using the isenhart and iratha (-helm) set along with 2 cathan rings. At level 15, at the beginning of act2, I'm pretty much invulnerable. It's fun running around with low-level sets, but somewhere along the line I will need to ditch them, no? Come level 80-90 the Bul Kathos won't do enough damage I suspect. What are the best swords out there? Runewords, or uniques?
I'm not extraordinaly rich, but I have my fair share of stuff (every set except griswold and a large collection of runes, uniques and rares.) I could easily trade for any unique in the game, and with some luck most runes in the game. I don't see myself getting ahold of Enigma or Breath of the dying any time soon, but other than those two, I should be able to make anything.
The most important thing for me to know right now, is which skills to use. At level 15, I have 16 skill points and about 60 attribute points saved.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Edit: Yes, and I appreciate the irony of freeing up space in my mules in order to make a character which will fill them even more. :)
