I don't know if I posted on here before, so I'll just do it (again if I did before).
This guide is very well made, giving great information, a nice explanation for where to put the points to be able to equip the most current weapons & armor along with the spare points left over from that (which I tend to put in Vitality on mine), and gives small tidbits of helpful advice while never saying once that 'this is the way it's done, and no other way is better.'
I do find something interesting, though, that on my Barbarian, my stats are placed one level ahead of where it's shown. For example, the stats you have shown for Lv 22 is what's on my Lv 21 Barb (and I'm talking the base stats, not including the equipment increases). I'm not complaining about it, but it just makes me wonder. Also, on a previous barb, it wasn't even close to the stats shown... I don't know what it is, but right now I'm enjoying it. Anyway, I'm done ranting. Great guide, great advice, and properly worded to lead in the right direction w/o once saying 'if you do this, you messed up already.'
I'd have to give this guide a rating of 10/10 in my own view.

Just as long as you have enough str & dex to equip the latest axe/hammer & Heavy Armor, you'll be fine as a tank.

Where should my stats be at with a lvl 12 barb intended for tanking? I accidentally added a few to magic, but only 3 total so I'm 8 on that. Other than that though I've been doing as the guide says, adding only enough to get the best heavy armor and weapons I can and dumping the rest into vitality. Just when I started out I hadn't read this and mixed up my stats for the first few levels.

From lv. 46 to 47, you increase STR by 6 (137-143) and DEX by 1 (31-32), using a total of 7 stat points. How, if you only get 5 points per level? Do you randomly get 7 when you jump from 46 to 47?

This guide is very well laid out and one of the best ways to build a barb if you want to be a pure tank/Armageddon barb. I followed this guide all the way til lvl 95. Then I made my own build but both are still very nice. It pretty much all depends on your play style imo!

Very nice guide. (:b:thanks

You can still make reqs if you do 5vit-4str-1dex every level.
Plus u get more hp.

darkhound12

appagoom

3 str 1 dex 1 vit
3 str 0 dex 2 vit

When 60 Dex, stop

3 str 2 vit from then on.

Pretty much sums up tank build right?

dota

I'm on 100 str

vit 64
Dex 24

Good for a tanker?

die4albanian

I have a little problem. I started a tanker build but ended with WAY too high vit... b:shocked
So i hope guys can help me out, since i am putting 4 str /1 dex since a few lvls to get it right.
And maybe tell me what i with my attributes the next lvls to keep up with tankerbuild

Barb = lvl 26
vit = 45
str = 82
dex = 18

Could you guys maybe also tell me which weapon is best to use in PvP later on. I guess Dual Axes Since all 60+ barbs use them.

I agree with your comment on barbs being able to pwn everyone one in pvp once they hit lvl89, but barbs are never supposed to use arma unless they have a charm and they have either calamaty axes and/or TT90 calloused axes. And you're only supposed to use this is clerics when they are not using their shell, on archers without the shell, and on wizard classes. This skill hits surprisinglt low on BM and other barb classes. I should know because I've spent over 70% of my PWI lifetime in pvp mode.

Abolutely GREAT guide, thanks, helps a lot. Informative, tolerant and open minded, everything a guide should be. Great work and the thread is also rich and useful. Kudos!

Tyr - Raging Tide

Excellent guide, I mixed in my own little hypotheses with yours and its being smoothe sailing for me! People even pay me money to tank bosses! LOL

Messing around with a lowbie Barb, for the recommended tanker build is there a stat point guide? i.e. 3 str 1 vit 1 dex per lvl or do i have to check armour/wep reqs myself?
