    Hard work, determination, etc etc.. Pretty much, at your level, just do your BHs, Crazy Stone, and do a bit of grinding. Once you hit 60, you can do public quest also. That helps a bit.

    Don't pvp and hardly ever duel. But that may become handy, cause I'm pure tank to.

    You hit the nail on the head with most of those classes. However, what alot of people don't realize is that a stealthed sin will usually show himself to stun you when you spark- this is RISKY, but hit Violent Triumph then spark, watch the sin try to stun you, mighty swing, untamed wrath, then go to town on him with mighty swing(sages use Onslaught following this, demons use stomp of the beast king.). Most sins will go down from this, if not- you've got the playfield, finish it with an arma or something practical. I personally will use firestorm to end this. I'm demon, so I usually get it to cast without consuming spark.

    Regarding about the arma skill if you have +10 gear and vit stones (stone of savant) and you have your weapon +10 also.. try to use with with tree of protection you can do even higher damage ohh but be careful u need to do it at the right time..

    also if you do it right and you have a charm you will not tick your charm... I have use it against mobs... goes like this..


    tiger form with all my buffs
    Run to the mobs and use beastial rage and then turtle shell.
    Transform into human and use tree of protection wait 1 or 2 seconds
    Then use arma you will notice that you have used the arma skill and you have all your hp and you did not have ticked your charm once...

    All you need is the timing when you use the skill..

    R9 Barbs are the strongest pvp players there are in my opinion.

    Even saw a R9 barb killing R9 sins, wiz, bm, psy, mystic, psy, cleric, and even R9barbs in tiger form..

    We are not good on tw if we are not doing the cata pull... but we can kick *** on pvp

    I don't find ToP useful in PK because it costs too much energy. If you're using ToP for arma, I would use Mire instead if you have a high str genie for pk (highly recommended). If you use ToP for survivability, use AD instead. Just a bit more energy but much much better.

    Thought, I do love ToP when I'm doing uncharmeded PK back when I still had ToP on my genie.

    If you're interested, I made a pretty good amount of barb PK vids on youtube.

    R9 barbs are definitely one of the more OP'ed classes at end-game gear level. Couple that with demon barb's onslaught crit proc, you can do some serious damage with it.

    Also Firestorm is VERY useful skill against HA/LA users and people who protect themselves from physical damage... I personally use this combo:

    Fire increase apoth on + demon spark + untamed wrath for missing chi + firestorm and as demon I usually don't loose my spark for it.

    Haven't yet looked up genie skills for it, though.

    Zerk axes are axes with Sacrificial Strike or God Of Frenzy, like Calamity Axes of Blood, the TT90 Gold Calloused Lionheart Hatchets, or the R9 weapon, Overlord Battleaxe.

    I used zerk axes on my BM for pvp and pve. They're great in pvp and still pretty good in pve, but the loss of hp can hurt. I don't like using zerk axes on my barb in pve.

    Remember pvp builds for barbs Vit build isn't the only viable option. Im a Demon str barb with 39k hp standup 717 str and 3 base vit atm with a 25% crit rate. In todays pvp with all the Rank 9's runnin around GOF and crits are what wins your fights keep Beastal onslaught spamed as it not only reduces their eva it increases your crit by 35% giving me a 60% crit rate for 6 sec. Chances are I will hit a gof with a crit. This can be a game changer.

    Also (100 skill) Clean sweep comes in handy when it works. purge

    Ansetrials rage (100 skill) is honestly one of my hardest hitting skills and great if they try to kite u sticks them in place for 8 seconds. But this skill I usually save until just before or after they tick/Puri proc.

    Happy Hunting love barbs b:victory

    seriously ? you already played barb to 103 and youre asking us to tell you how to make a high vit barb ?

    Well ok, just make sure you have enough dex and str to wear your gear. Put the rest in vit.
    If you mouse over your items, you can see what stats are required. Start by equiping those with the lowest requirements and work your way up until you can wear everything. Adding stats can be done by pressing the + button next to the stat in the character screen. Press Done when ready. Optionally you can now round up your dex to the multiple of 20 for an extra crit % and you could add a little extra strength so that you can still use your axe if something breaks.

    As you can see, that explanation already included some extra details for the less gifted. Stat points per level however is only for complete *******.
    Everything i write is from PvE perspective unless mentioned otherwise.
