    Depends what you mean by PvP. If you just mean 1v1, then I really don't know which is better. But if you want to TW, I would heavily favor sage. The chi skill is great in TW when you're constantly dying and need a way to quickly build chi. I also personally prefer sage barbs for group pvp because of their hp buff.

    Probably want Demon for pvp option but be warned on a PVE server most of the squishy fishy rule the road.

    why you ask? because they didn't have to worry about the risks you get on a PVP server. so once there 80+ they click it on and if your not ranked out or geared up you you'll get ganked by a squishy fishy

    PVP on a PVE server is different to say the least.
    19k Hp and rising my goal is 20k unbuffed (would love 25k )

    For 1v1 PvP I would suggest demon. However, it also depends on your preferences. If you like having insane hp and the tankability of a........5 aps sin, go with sage. If you like dishing out extra damage, go with demon. Barbs tend to have a low damage output, so demon helps in 1v1 PvP. However, in group PvP, such as TW, sage would probably fare better due to the increased hp and stuff, but in 1v1 sage would probably not perform as well. While the increased hp is useful, most 5 aps classes can go through a barbs massive hp in a few seconds. That's where dealing extra damage can be useful, so that if you stun them you have a chance in actually killing them. Of course, this is just in general. I'm sure a lot of sage barbs can perform exceptionally in 1v1, and some demon barbs can perform just as well as sages in TW. Also note that I'm a demon barb, so I may be slightly biased, and that I do not know the other advantages of going sage other than the tankability.

    10% more HP !?

    sorry i have been sage, and had nearly all my sage skills

    i went demon after they released that item that would let you change.

    and i can say, and i experienced sage as well as demon to the fullest

    that demon is the best path to take, even if you want to be a killer tank, demon is still better then your * lvl 10 * skills

    you can be sage all you want, but a sage with lvl 10 skills will still be less good then a demon wtih lvl 11 skills

    i would say demon,

    note* if you go sage for the chi skill,, thats a waste, Demon HP buff gives 40 chi per pop and is spammable

    Skippy is my fav barb b:dirty He knows what he's doing so I would take weight to his advice. I never really played a barb, but based on what i know of sage and demon skills, I'd say demons have the upperhand when it comes to 1v1 pvp.
