Hello guys,
I was wondering if Barbarians could tank well in HUMANOID form... Because I hate tiger form... No I mean, I really hate it, really much. I'd only use it to travel.

Also, any1 can tell me how much time it would take to get to lvl 89+ ? An approximation...

ALSOOO, playing on Lost City PKing is something... QUITE present. So I was wondering, are barbarians able to defend themselves right? And maybe kill some things... Even before lvl 89?

Thanks all! b:laugh

    Tiger form is so cool why don't you like it o_0

    When you're tanking, you need the tiger skills to keep aggro, plus you have more hp, so its best to use Tiger form

    no idea how long to get to 89

    lets just say, in pk, you can't really kill very well before 89, but no one can kill you either (especially if you have an hp hiero)

    If you dont like tiger form then you should stop playing a barb while you are relatively low lvl. U mite be able to get away with tanking in humanform in fb19 (remember i said mite), but in higher lvls if you try that ppl will not want to party with you and start to dislike you and word would get around about you being a noob and other ppl would pay and and get payed to have you killed from time to time. I dnt hav ne specifics but in Lost City this has happened, yes ppl hav advertised and volunteered to pk certain players who they didnt like.

    Well, to make it short, you work your char to look awesome... But have to go in that ugly white tiger form, 0% customizeable where a lvl 9 looks like a lvl 105...

    You cant be a efficient tank without tiger form. There is also passive that raises your pdef in tigerform for quite a lot too, in addition to the hp and faster run speed.

    Also to ever keep aggro from high critting archers or nuking mages, your humanoid form skills can never do it.

    If you wish to be a DD,make BM.

    Yes barbarians can do well enough in pvp. Our damage sucks but we have tons of hp :) Its all balanced out in some way.

    And at 59 you get perdition that is an AoE that uses half of your hp to deal some heavier damage.
