    This is copy paste from what DestroyTokyo said in some other forum:

    Barb vs BM:
    Wait right till their hiero is about to tic then...
    Antistun + Spark + devour + skill spam = dead bm.

    I pop out imediately after I use devour, then I use beastial onslaught> Might Swing> Penetrate amror>slam, the bm is dead after that or before depending on your zerks/ zerk crits

    TIP-Wood atk buff works in human form too. You only have to use the buff in tiger to apply it

    The same thing applies..

    Use the spark - anti stun - devour - pop out of tiger - spam attacks..

    Ultimate Quote; End of Discussion:

    "Hell barbarian with all skill books can have over 50% crit rate at any given moment after bestial onslaught, add berzerk axes to that and its deadly.

    Perdition/Armageddon can 1hit light/robe classes if it zerks or crits, and if the opponent has terrible gear you don't need either.

    invoke the spirit reduces all damage taken by 90% for 15 secs

    solid shield (genie barb-only skill) reduces all damage taken by 60% for 12 secs.

    tree of protection (genie) gives you about 20k hp for 6 seconds + heals you.

    Barbs can amplify+tree of protection+ perdition/armaggedon and wreck an opponent if timed right. The amp from the genie adds 20% damage (at lv1 with base genie stats) and tree of protection boost your HP by 60% for a couple seconds, during which you can perdition for basically double damage.
    If hell barb, add 10% more dmg from Perdition.

    beastial rage now creats a magical bubble which absorbs up to 2,000 damage if your HP is below 50%.

    barb mighty swing with 50% stun chance or 60% if hell, never misses now.

    alacrity of the beast (tiger form) can freeze for 3 seconds (50% chance).

    If hell, frighten has a chance to stun, and roar deflects 100% physical damage to opponent for some given seconds. Strength of the titans grants 5% crit increase for a minute (you can then re-cast it..)


    All of that is great, refined barbs are strong if they can hold an opponent in range to do anything.
    If not there's really not barbs can do, they're made to annoy in pvp."

    Mighty Swing never misses. Just use it wisely. If you're not Bloodbathed, use Bestial Onslaught first of all. Make sure Penetrate Armour's shield piercing is always active, since it adds up for a better score in the end.

    Believe me, BMs have a much harder time dealing with us than we do with them.

    I personally do a lot of dueling with friends to see how I fair against them... Blademasters don't often pose too much of a problem... my best friend is a level 78 Blade and he uses swords... he has a killer build and good equipment... and when we go at it he always beats me by one strike, but the fights are always long and intense... usually provides entertainment to my clanmates while we wait to start something... but when I go against light armors or robes I will turn their worlds upside down >=D

    Tell me this. How many hell barbarians have even one of the skill books you just said? The 92 Sage/Demon Skills books are near impossible to get, and I haven't heard of ANY barb getting even a single 92 skill book. BTW, to answer the question, do what DestroyTokyo does to kill BMs.
    Damn right I'm good in bed! I can sleep for HOURSb:victory
