Help with build please !

Hi everyone 

I’m new to Diablo and was wondering if anyone could give me a bit of a breakdown on how build making actually works as I find it quite confusing (and it probably shows 🤣). 

I’ve decided to attempt to make my own, rather than using one on the internet. I’m on my first play through and really enjoying it. I’ve just started act V and I’m a level 27 Barbarian. I managed to beat Diablo but I did need to keep using town portals to revive my mercenary and restock on health potions (is that a common tactic in this game?). I primarily use bash, double swing and battle cry to weaken enemies. I’m sorry for the extensive list of my skills and equipment etc. I’m worried about getting stuck on the final boss, so if anyone could have a look at my set up and give me a few pointers, it would be much appreciated.

A huge thanks in advance.
