My Endgame build, good? Also, is it to late..

Balcony - Sanctuary

Here is what I currently have for my endgame armor, seeing as how I'm lazy and I don't wanna farm Nirvana, lol.

This is what I think I'm going to go for:

With the endgame 95 arcane accessories as well, just incase :P


Thoughts on that?



And also, I was thinking about going fist/claw/axe build, but I don't think It's going to really come out until I'm a higher level, so I was wondering, since I have 69 base dex, do you think it's a little too late to switch to pure axe build? I mean, I have my endgame dex already, lol. And if so, how much str/vit should I be adding per level from here on out do you think? I have a base strength of 119 strength I believe.

You are not going to hit anybody with that low accuracy...What you have now is close to basically a pure tank Barb build that only focuses on Flesh Reaming and never DD. But you are a DD and you need to be able to hit your target. You need at least moderate amount of Dex for your two Lunar rings to be worth anything as 50% of low accuracy is still low accuracy.

That's probably because I'm a 97 tank barb on PW My-En lol, I guess I kinda figured the builds would be moderately the same xD


The main reason for this thread though is for myself to get some suggestions. I think once I hit 10x, or even around 9x, I might switch back to going fist, but right now, it doesn't seem worth it to me with the loss of strength since I basically just skill spam till the mob is dead.

For the cost of those lousy 99 gold ornaments, you could get 99 wrists and 99 pants giving you some interval. Instead of 2 lunar rings, substitute one with the perfect attendance ring. From the money you would save from that, get 85 Frost Fists or GX, depending if you want to PvE or PvP.

Playing a BM anything like a barb is just wrong, honestly that's all there is to it. You need dex to hit, and since you need dex to hit, you may as well have enough dex for fist/claw, the damage difference isn't all that noticeable imo. Now as for when to actually start using fists, that is entirely up to you, just remember that Axes are used mainly for AoE, while fists focus on 1v1 (in PvE anyway). Personally I started using fists for all but AoEing when i hit 70 and got the Dark Flash claws.

The general build for axe/fist build is 3 str 2 dex every level, you should have enough stats for both at your level. Remember, unlike barbs, we don't have any perfect accuracy attacks, and the more you miss the more useless you are.

personally i think the dex depends if you are tw or pvp orientated, as a sage bm (you are sage right?) i would put something like 300 str and as much dex as needed for gx'es and rest in vit, because of the number of people your aoes will be hitting missing wouldn't be much of a problem, survial is. a shot bm can't really do much other than get one stun in then drop. but for a pvp orientated build dex is a must or you're gona have a tough time hitting your target.

I'm gonna tell you from experience. I considered going purely axe at around 47, but instead i chose to go axe/fist build. To give you a bit of an idea of what i'm capable of let me tell you about my day yesterday.

I came first in PQ twice. I did my BH51 and cleared while the party was away getting the next BH, yes i can solo multiple mobs in there. I hit around 3.1k HP unbuffed. In Tw i was soloing cata squads by myself, of course they weren't all that great but to take out a 6X barb with a cleric and a charm is something to say for my level. And if i couldn't take them out, i was fully capable of keeping them busy and stunned until help arrived. I dueled countless 7X-8X people who had to heal to save their dignity. I did 3 quests AOE grinding and got them done in around 20 minutes.

Now this is just at 66-67, imagine when i get my calamitys and my dark flash. If you level your stuns and watch your equips, the build will serve you great. Of course i should tell you i was slightly behind my others before 60, but once i got that second spark, i was rolling.

something to think about
