What is better for a BB: Evasion, Physical Resistance, or HP? I have a barbarian at level 17. I have some equipment with evasion and some with physical resistance. What is the better attribute in general? What will be better for a barbarian? Will added HP be best one of all? I know that an accuracy ring will be the best, but I have to wait to get one. Stat for stat, if I had to choose the same level of each stat, what would be the best. All opinions, facts, and help will be greatly appreciated.

    im not an expert in BB but i think just evasion is not good because the self buffs of BB are based on Phys res and HP, i dont know what of those two is better, i think HP but well let's the experts in BB talk about :p
    This was only a BB noob opinion.

    b:bye

    Generally the focus is to take hits with massive HP, rather than dodging them, because barbs have jack all evasion.

    Well as a Barb myself, I know that Barb chars should focus more on either HP or Strength. Of course if your Barb is more on the HP side, it would be more suitable in tiger form during combat. It all depends.

    This should be in the barb forums, but I can say that HP is the way to go. The barb is the tank, and while physical resist is important, it means jack against any other element. Heavy armor is already high phys but low ele, so you need a good buffer. You should have elemental ornaments (belt/amulet) and as much +HP on your gear as you can get so you can take those hits from any type. Plus, the skills that increase your HP by a % will give you a higher amount with the more base HP you have - keep that in mind.
