Hi, I currently have a lvl 20 Barb and my question is, which skills should I invest on for grinding as untamed just to level/kill faster? I know I would be lvling most of the tiger skills for bosses but have no idea which to use when untamed or just use melee without skills? Thanks.

    I'm a tank build barb and hardly have any humanoide skills. It's a good thing you're thinking already of the skills you want to get, because spirit will be rare from lvl29 to 45 at the least.

    Here is what I do: I grind mostly depending on my buffs and spark eruption (which you will get at lvl29) in tiger form. I used poison fang lvl1 a long time and just recently found spare spirit to get it up a few lvls. On mobs with magic attacks, which you will see a bit more now you're lvl20+ (ghouls for instance), alacrity of the beast is your best skill.

    The advantage of doing things this way: You depend mainly on skills that are priority to tanking (alacrity, beastkings inspiration, shapeshift intensity and later on bestial rage for chi), and you don't use much mana. The major down side: this must be the slowest way to lvl. Notice that you'll have to find your balance between lvling speed and the costs. Spamming skills makes you kill faster, but you will need a lot op mana pots. Relying on buffs and sparks enables you to grind without any other costs but repairs, but killing will take way more time.

    The skills to max for faster grinding are in tigerform: devour and poison fang. Hammer/axe mastery will help in both forms. I can't really tell you which humanoide skills are usefull. I would say mighty swing and penetrate armor, but I have no experience using those skills.
