Barbarian Stat Allocation!!! (Axe & Hammer)

nickw · February 2009

Hey guys!

I recently started a barbarian and searched for a stat allocation guide, but all I found was "Meet the weapon requirements, the rest in vitality". This wasn't at all helpful, so I decided to make my own (so far up to level 49), and I was amazed at how easy it was, it took only 20min!!! So, here it is:

NOTE:

The setup is as so:

Lvl needed to weild the weapon

Str needed to weild the weapon (Increase from last weapon)
Dex needed to weild the weapon (Increase from last weapon)

I did this as a seperate reply because I don't know how to edit!!! I'll learn very shortly.

Oh, and please be nice, this is my first topic or even post.

ROFLMAO! b:laugh b:laugh

No offense, its a nice guide but I really dont know why people don't get it. You DO NOT NEED to plan your stats for the next 50 odd levels NOW.
Just plan on the next 10 levels from the level you get your new weapons at.

Planning my stats requirements took me 20 seconds or so every 10 levels.

This also allows you flexibility to use a certain type of weapon for a few levels and then transition to another type.
For e.g until level 20 I was using dual hammers, which gave me more spare vit points and better phydef due to higher Str requirements.
At level 20 I used the FB19 reward poleaxe, which was great until level 37.
At level 37 I swityched from the poleaxe to dual axes and have been ith em since.

Now everytime I get a new wep, I look at the stats requirement of the next wep which I plan on getting 10 levels later. (You can do this at blacksmith's or at pwi database).

So if the next weapon need 30 more Str and 8 more dex:
I am gonna add 3 str per level for the next ten levels.
I am gonna add 1 vit and 1 dex per level for the next eight levels.
The remaining 4 points are spare and will be added to vit in the last two levels.
NOTE: I could also add them to dex if it brought my dex to a 20's multiple (20/40/60 etc.) to benefit from a 1% crit rate increase.

Theres no text book rule dictating a stats build. Its for you to play around and develop your character with.

Now was that hard?

Wow. Um...

Well, I'm sure thi will help some people (or atleast me, I NEED to plan ahead... meh), heck, it helped my friends too, so I'm sure a guide like this will help some people who just NEED to plan ahead...

Yeah, mostly what I was posting that for was the PER LEVEL part, all the rest is for those people (like me...) who want to see how the **** you got that.

PS

I can edit posts I made recently (or if I'm right in the current login session) but can I not edit older posts?

Thanks.
