With Demoralize this becomes a great AoE taunt and with Inspiring Presence I double the duration of the taunt. I really like Leap as an ability while romping through dungeons and also as a jump in on the enemies and wreck some Iron Impact I feel is really awesome because the extra armor just gives me that much more durability. I want a nice panic button in case I get too many mobs and I added Mob Rule because I will be playing this build with friends and it helps them out with DR. I added in Whirlwind because my main in D2 was a whirly barb and I love it and with Blood Funnel I get some extra health. I didn't have any fury spenders so I wanted to add something in to this build. Gathering Storm is to help with some crowd control and keep good enemy containment. I want to use Cleave obviously because it is a great aoe move and works well with a sword and board. My main purpose is to tank with friends and to have a lot of fun and grab all of the mobs attention while my friends do all of the damage. My build (Link leads to Diablo 3 calculator) I will post a link and my reasoning for each skill choice. I attempted to post my build on the forums but we all know how useful the forums for Diablo are.

I love looking at different builds (for the classes I like) and I love to discuss them as well. If you have a build you would like to submit, please post a comment below. Here is another build for the Barbarian, this time it's a tank / melee build.
