FC For a Barbarian

Esteban - Dreamweaver

Hello my sexy Barbarians!

I have a couple of questions if you guys don't mind answering b:cute

First I want to know which is less of a charm ****.. FC or GV?

Second How much xp per FC run would I get with 2x xp, and how long does a FC run take?

What lvl and HP is recommended to have a successful FC run?

Ty for your future answers b:kiss

**** on barb charm in FC depend on your own skills rly. lenght on squad..
well i use 1-4 ticks in fc usually, i dont do RB, so i dont know in comparison..
FC with good team takes like 1:15/20 ( 3 veno squad fastest like 1;14) wiz/archer at the 1:20ish.

a good amount of barbs say u cannot interupt last 2 bosses.. phoenix boss and huge boss guy, and yes you can. if you dont you will use more than 4 ticks btw, cos aoe is 50% hp. so squad will **** charm lol.

exp for FC is around 500k or something my lvl i guess.

I do FC without charm. Never done GV, so cant tell ya, but I hear charms are required. And on 2x xp, yeah about a mil xp or more sounds about right. And btw, had a lvl 81 wizz tank Pheonix boss, and a lvl 81 cleric (our only cleric for the run) use BB on last boss, worked great.

FC doesn't compare at all to RB for charm ****.

I have always done FC uncharmed. With even a single cleric, and a good party ofc, you should rarely drop under 50% HP. The bosses are relatively easy and don't hit that hard (except the last guy, hes a pain). Its just that each has his own tricks that you need to watch out for.

I haven't done many RBs (less than 5), but the ones I did do, I almost blew a whole HP charm, most of the time, despite BB and auras. Don't know about the lower RBs though. First one I did was a delta b:chuckle.

lag, mistakes can make you die, tick charm on party, maybe even die... uncharmed barb. then a charmed bm tanker safer lol.
yes you can do without, but last bosses wont tick you if you interupt the aoe.

Ty for your answers guys.

Now my question is what level of a set of skills is needed to do decent running FC?

Dont got that much experience in FC but i can tell you, you will need to be a decent tank xD so just max FR, True Form, Shapeshfting Intensify, Alacrity, Beastial rage(only 1 lvl, but still xD), invoke might be usefull to, though it shouldnt be necessary, ive probably forgotten some, but i think you can guess whats usefull and whats not ; )

EDIT: and max ur buffs ofc (dont use Bloodbath while tanking lmao)

Its really worth running FC once you 85+. Under 85 and over 90 the exp benefit isnt as great (unless you do it on a double exp weekend or something). You can get almost the same exp from BH and cube. By the time you are 85 you should have the basic idea of a tanker's skills down.

^^ What he said.
Also, in FC roar is pretty handy along with sunder and alpha male.
Basically you as tank need to be able to grab and hold a bunch of mobs throughout the dungeon.
Frighten is also a pretty handy skill to have in there and in general (good chi + reduced damage).
