A good build is a build that you comfortable with.
My melee WDM mostly build around decent physical damage, dr% 20%+, defense 200k+, and LL 45%+. And also reach at least IAS breakpoint-1, it doesnt matter if you have 10k dmg but cant land it.
Generic gears for them is erawan, nephilim, truce, bogspitter, icarus. Jewelcrafted with ber rune. Weapon? mostly the highest damage.
Of course you need "progressing gear" to get those generic gears, right? But since you dont want to farm TU6 or even honorific then I have no advice.

The easiest char is holymeleedin imo. Go try it.
Not being above something means you are open to it, perhaps you're unfamiliar with the expression. Paladin however, is out of the question, as are any sacred uniques. I'll craft and make honorifics and upgrade tiered trash as long as it means I can farm charms and uber areas with it but I've yet to see a decent barb guide. The problem is the lack of people who play this mod and the copious amount of numbers that need crunching.
Upon consulting the hive I noticed these icarus gloves you suggested look like trash. Lv 11 miasma is the best thing on it. It better be godly to make up for the lack of anything decent in these gloves, not to mention the -20% fire res.
The bogspitter helm u suggest looks mediocre at best. I have an Erawan sacred ancient armor, Megalith sacred greaves and a runeword sacred arreat helm (I forget which, but a decent one). I've tried a ridiculous number of things to make this barb work. I have crafted lifesteal jewels. I've tried stacking CB. I've tried throw barbs, bow barbs, iron spiral barbs, summoner barbs and every one of em struggle at farming TA let alone anything harder. Christ, I could barely get through act 3 on destruction. Meanwhile, there's druids farming Lazarus trophies while afk. Seems balanced.
TL;DR
Can't farm gear cuz I dont have the gear to farm the gear to farm the fear to farm the gear to farm the gear.
Can't do nothing cuz ya can't do nothing.
