How would you go at it? (I have had one on the server before...)

A Tempst/Figther does sound...terrifying!

Re: Barbarian/Tempst/Figther
I would actually go Barbarian 20/Ranger 6/Tempest 4. Ranger is a better choice than fighter because :
1. It will give you Heal and Spot, and also 24 extra skill points over fighter
2. It will qualify you for ITWF for free, meaning you can start with 14 DEX, whereas with Fighter you have to start with 17
3. It will also give you Toughness which you will want for SD
Feats pretty much pick themselves - you will want couple of Extended Rages, Tempest Qualification feats, Ice Troll, LoH, Able Learner, Knockdown and so on.

Oh, and with the Hunter Kit, it might get 3 favored enemies instead of just three. Also, with few points in Survival you can make use of the Track feat and see where mobs are on the map. It helps to get through an area with low health or when you are low on supplies...

Edit: the downside is that it will delay Epic Rage by delaying Mighty Rage.

Re: Barbarian/Tempst/Figther
Also agree with ranger... use some of the points saved on DEX in WIS so you can cast embrace the wild when needed, which saves you needing to take blind fight. This makes the number of feats a wash (F6 gets 4 feats, R6 gets TWF, ITWF, Toughness and a spell to cast blind fight) thus there is really no benefit to fighter over ranger.
