The Barbarian Guide!

like most of the build says you should have
Str: 189
Dex: 38
Vit : 93
Int : 5

This is what i know the typical Tank stats .
But i dont know . I have only ben reading forums to know how to build my own Barbarian/Werebeast .

Ps. i tried counting how much stat points you have used and i come to think that you mean lvl 64 or something . is that right ? Or do you have EQ improving your stats ?

lol great guide and great sense of humour! It really helped in making my WB... so thanks =P

Concerning never run while tanking bosses rule I somewhat disagree. To this day I have only played a lvl 28 barb. However when I transformed, got the fb19's boss atenttion, and ran the boss always ran after me no matter how much my team mates pounded it until it eventually died . Does this method work in the higher levels or is it party suicide?

At earlier levels you should be fine if you run as your aggro skills will have a much larger advantage over the low damage output or healing output of your party. But say for example most higher level FB's bosses will be magic, so if you think your going to die and attempt to run, it'll just use magic skills and finish you easily due to your lower Mdef. Also, if you run you won't be able to cause anymore aggro on the mob and you may lose aggro.

doesn't seem likely to get all lvl in the skills so which r the best human skills and wht lvl should i stop learning and move on to a new skill? is there like a chart or wht u recommend for me

I am Veloc.. Sanctuary lvl 40 b:surrender

I see the skills list is very well offered so to add from experience of building a barb I shall offer advice.
The strongest build I have found for a barb is 2 to strength, 2 to vitatility and one to dex to up crits. I have been able to tank mulitple creates my level using this build or 3 creatures above my level. At level 40 with this build you can tank krix who does magick damage. From here there are two builds for a barb, the tank build and the damage build. Personally I recomend the Tank build. This determines which skills you purchase for your tree. The tree is divided into three sections as you can see. Your passive skills are important such as feral regeneration. Here you can choose weather to use tiger form primarily or humanoid form primarily. This determines which side of the tree you put the majority of your points into. There are pros and cons to both but both builds are equally effective as long as you focus on your primary build. Tiger form Tanks alot of damage and later on deals alot of damage, but initially is weaker then the humanoid form untill it's built up. The humanoid form is faster when dealing damage and can tank damage initaily right up thru. In humanoid form I suggest getting the poison fang in tiger skills to add poison damage to yoru attacks. Slam becomes one of the most damage dealing moves from my experience, though it is an area effect.
For information on drop rates, armor and desiding what armor, weapons and such is best for your barb consult pwdatabase.com

Great guide the main deal is gnash their heads off and beat their backs with axes/hammers/maces.

Hi I'd like to know if this build is good for a barb... 4 str, 3 dex, 2 con 1 mag per 2 lvls is good...

well for lvl30-40 ur wrong theres more than one move u can get between those lvls i forgot wat its called but all i know that theres 3new moves between lvl30-40

Really dont get Mag leave it at 5 or even better restat it to 3 its really not needed for anything as a barb

why don't noobs just listen and read the guides or even use common sense for a change... Guides or not, THEY SHOULD NOT ADD THE STUPID MAG. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD JUST DON'T ADD 1 SINGLE POINT OF MAG ON A BARB, BM, OR ARCHER AND ASK IF IT IS GOOD OR BAD. ITS AN OBVIOUS ANSWER b:angry

edit: i agree with this guy and others that advice on NOT ADDING MAG/INT its useless

lol i quoted myself by accident

Can only males be barbs? the button wont let me change gender, personally i suck at mage jobs >> cant i be female barb?

Sadly no female barbs, there is another melee class, blademaster and there is an archer too

Just deal with a barb being male and make him
Or make a blademaster
Or make a archer

Up to you
