    Best guild used since level 1.
    63 barb 190 str 38 Dex 100+ vit
    stating for aps later kinda sucks though.

    i have 305str 52vit 58dex and 16mag at 79 it works perfectly if using shards for hp in armor, i can tank and DD when i want i hit 1/2hits over 10k dmg and have 10k+hp i can tell you it works perfectly i have enough str for 101axes allrdy and each lvl i add 5dex for claws at lvl95 and fists at lvl100 its a great barb build (half my opinion most truth)

    Just to make sure...

    The tanking build is

    LVL STR DEX
    2.....6......5

    (no idea for the excess)

    And so forth? I'm just wondering XD

    So when going for a tank, what's the recommended Str/Dex level? Or is tanking not the best route for a barb anymore?

    Right now I'm at 98vit, 86str and 33dex. I've been scattering my acquired points because everyone keeps telling me they build their tank barb differently... Where should I be focusing my points now?

    98 vit is way to high if you only have 86 str.
    98 vit would be level 70+ by then you need 200+ str

    I think I messed up my build. Currently I am level 14 with 44str, 18vit, and 18dex. Any suggestions on maybe turning this around, or am I on the right track? I dont feel like I'm going about things the right way.

    edit: And this is excluding my gear boosts.

    You're doing just fine. You're adding 3 str 1 dex 1 vit per level, which is great at lower levels. Eventually you'll want to cap off your dex (at 60 dex or 80 dex) and put that extra point in vit I guess.

    Thanks man, I'll do just that.

    If later in your build, do you find yourself missing a few stats, or wanting a stat change? A good way to accomplish these is to Plan Ahead.

    Look at the required stats for gear you'll be using later in the game. Stat every level according to what you need later on. Once you reach your goal and are able to wear the gear for your level, you can start statting according to your desired build.

    If your goal is a desired end-game build change, but you are a low lvl (example: 60-80), just rethink your lvl-by-lvl statting that ends with the desired stat build.

    For a while, my random stat building wasn't getting me enough str., so from lvl 80-95 I was putting 4 str. 1 vit / 5 str. every other level to meet my end-game build.

    Wait till 99+ before you do that because 95 is for any good claws/fists. But at 99 you can do the ashura/lionheart x2 set bonus which will make you 2.86 aps(4 sparked) with the wraithgate or any higher aps cape.

    I switched to fist build at 90 and I had no trouble tanking really. I did have pan gu tome merchanted by then though, plus all the other aps stuff. It really made life a lot easier already.

    Boy it's a lot of pages to read through.
    I just made a Barb and he's almost ready for FB 19.
    I've been stating him 5 str 3 vit 2 dex every two levels and have been happy with it.
    When should I stop with dex?
    He's a traditional tanker-axes hammers/heavy armor nothing fancy.
    Someone told me stop dex at 60? Is this right? Then 5- str 5 vit every two levels?

    You need 5 str every two levels for heavy armour, you need 6 str every two levels for axes/hammers though. So if I were you I'd start adding more str. You can cap dex at any multiple of 20 (60+) you are comfortable with (usually 60 or 80).

    I see what you mean with higher level hammers/axes.
    I made the adjustments so it's as though I went 6 - 2 - 2 every two levels.

    Does every Barbarian need to use HP charms?

    I was tanking Qinzi yesterday, but I kept dying, despite my 4.3k HP... The healer was good, and rezzed me like 10 times during the fight, but I felt so squishy for a tank.

    My armor was the rank 1 armor, from the Commander and Chief or his buddy there in Arch.

    What am I doing wrong, hehehe.

    (I am only lvl 33 btw, am I being to hasty to think i can tank him without dying as much?)

    THank you,

    Arnaldo

    Qinzi is pretty hard for a barb your level, so don't feel too bad about it. Try and use alacrity of the beast to cancel as often as possible and perhaps get an extra healer to help or find a magic class to range tank it :)

    When you talked about the "Tank" Build.
    You said for dex and str, follow equipment requirement?

    So does that mean "Equipment" as in the Heavy Armor or the Weapons?


    Please give me more details if any of you know?

    If you can, my email is eric083196@comcast.net

    Email me if you cant reply to my message, k? b:puzzled

    Would u recommend restating about 1k hp (with buffs) to get more str for van a/r8/r9 wep?
    Plz note i can't just get 1k hp extra from refines since I'm not rich...
    I do not need much,
    I do not have much,
    I do not miss much,
    I have love and friendship,
    To compensate for that!

    11k sounds a bit weak. I was pushing 25k(full buffs) & 18k hpwith frost gear around that level. Now at 100 I have 20k hp & 28k pdef full buffs with 2 recast r8 peices, oht wrist, r8 boots, phy neck/belt, forest hat and cloudcharger cape. My mdef is around 3k-4k which will change when I farm my mdef orns and rings.

    and no you are not getting my email ty

    Hey i got a question, i got too much vit and too little strength for R8 weapon. Should i restat 41 vit for that or stick to a Pan Gu's Giant Axe? I'm not going to Pk or TW!
