okay so i made a barb who is currently lvl 19, i just got done with my FB 19 and got my wepon from teh elder.... well i noticed i was way behind on str

Wepon; Str 61, dex 15

My stats: Vit 46, str 46 and 12 Dex


now my build is odd: 2 2 1 and even 3 2 then even 2 2 1 then 3 2.... this way i alternate keeping my Str and Vit Even....


Now for my Questio: Is it normal to be this far behind on Str being a full tiger form tank or what...?

    i wore my trial poleaxe at level 19 by adding a single dex to the suggested stats posted in the sticky.

    No its not normal, you should be looking ahead at armor and weapon requirements, go on google and find ur next weapon, make sure u have enough str. Ive noticed for my past 3 weapons ive added Strength +5 for 7-8 levels then Dex 1 level and vit another, theres alot of strength required for hammer/axes. U will have alot more Strength than Vitality.

    yet another thing, WHY are you following a build? Barbs dont have a set Build, they dont work, add minimum strength and dex for ur upcoming armor and weapon, then pour rest into vit. Its really simple and alot easier than following a build.

    my build is - Even : 3 str 1 dex 1 vit , Odd: 3 str 2 vit

    i believe axes/hammers/poleaxe need 6 str every 2 lvls?

    Barbs are supposed to put only enough strength and dexterity to weild latest equips, and dump the rest into vit.


    However, if you prefer to follow a build, 6 str 3 vit and 1 dex every 2 levels is probably the closest thing there is to the proper tank.

    yea if you keep your STR and VIT even you wont be able to use the latest gear because your STR is low
