    They have high dmg depending on the build you go with. Perdition can hit for 40k+ and its an aoe attack.

    Perdition will never hit that much in pvp... even with full str and a +12 weapon.

    Ahh dont be a downer man, you sound too serious, it is just a game after all. It is just for fun. :D

    And if I was the least bit paranoid, I would you think you were trying to scare me off cause I might be competition, eh? ;):p

    Did you make these threads in all the class sections for post count?

    Seriously, there are plenty of threads already in each section that deals with this.

    No I did not make them for post count I made them to collect information in one thread for me and for beginners alike so please back off and let the officials handle it as they see fit, if they dont like my threads let the officials remove them. Thank you.

    There are plenty of guides in all of the individual class forums with numerous posts in them.

    Use search, repetitive threads only add to the clutter.

    Yeah all the wanna-be mod's are really annoying.

    You do not make the mod's job easier by pointing out there is a search function. You just add spam and boost your post count.
    Pray for mercy.

    Lol, this box has gone too far from its purpose.
    WB is strong in defense, therefore tanker is their job: bosses, HH, "driver" is war... Acutally, there are a few bosses that we can't tank...
    WB dmg is really low, with low accuracy ><, it means this class is not for PVP lovers. Compare to other class, lvl up a WB takes more time and effords.
    Why...so...serious?

    Barbarian is not the right name for WB, because he is made for tanking bosses, i dont think a barbarian is doing that. U lvl a little harder with him because of the low damage, but later when u higher lvl, u can aoe with him pretty good.

    Pros: same as above + good AOE skills
    Cons: good hit rate (with 2 good rings), HIGH damage at higher lvl, expensive (no more than clerics), slow lvling at start.

    In my mind Pros out weight's the benefits. This is a class that's gets better and better at high levels, I know many players who play their char to high lvl then decide to switch to this class for all the reasons above.

    wb was my main on the MY version and in OB im going wb again. Equiped right and played good a wb is hard to take down at the higher lvls. Leveling might be a bit slower but only if you solo alot get a good guild takes care of that. Except for a few bosses a wb and ep can handle anything in game the rest are just dmg adds to kill faster.

    Take a look at me! This was my old wb. It took all of those people like 25 minutes to finally kill me because I kept getting stunned.

    Yes Babarians are late boomers. Early game release there are never enough babarians to go around (they are in very high demand in everything). But once they game has been going on for 1 yr or so, lots of ppl re roll to a babarian, because of what they have seen they can do at higher lvl.
    To summarise.

    Pros: relaitvely high damage (at high level, in human form), good AOE skills (solo AOE relatively fast), NO PROBLEM with accuracy, (u get a skill plus u can always get those accuracy +50% rings). HIGHEST hp in game by far. HIGHLY demanded in parties, TW (they can't win without a barb). Ability to transform and flexibility to become tank or DD. Last but least, looks awesome with good skill animation and can ride on 2 headed dragons.

    Cons: slow lvling at first, low accuracy at first (once u learn the accuracy skill u won't have a prob), low damage at first.. I can't think of any cons at later lvls to be honest. EXPENSIVE? no not really because if u think about all the parties u can join, yeah the armor fixing prices is more expensive but u get into so many money making parties so fast, u earn money faster than other ppl regardless of ur armor fixing costs.

    note i say relatively because there are always other class that can do better than barb at those things i listed above, but a class can't have everything. Given all the pros u get as a barb, u shouldn't have all those pros to be honest.

    I. Pros and Cons really depend on your build/gear, but here are the overall assumptions.
    Pros:
    High HP
    High HP Recovery Rate
    Good Physical Defense
    Skills to help keep aggro/hate of monsters
    Best Tank / Wanted in Parties
    Catapult Pullers = Essential in Territory Wars
    Great damage at endgame
    Cons:
    Low accuracy(due to low DEX in most builds. Can be solved at later levels with the skill Blood Bath, as well as +50% accuracy rings (Lv. 77?))
    Low damage in the beginning/mid levels
    Low Magic Defense
    High repair cost
    High potion/charm cost
    Requires patience. Many give up before reaching lv 89+ due to high costs & other classes excelling more in terms of damage. (Barbarians rock at endgame though)
