I was wondering which one is better,i know that BM has got better DMG but barbs have imense amount of HP and it seems to me that it is only by experience of player if wins barb or BM.I started to build my barb with maxing human skills first(i roll Lost City)but max some important tank skills like flesh ream...What are ur opinions on this and which one would u chose,in ur opinion which one is more usefull and which one would stand better in PVP?Oh and i almost forgot,which one would win when dueling each other?

    PvE
    PvE humanoid does more damage and is faster to grind with but costs more
    PvE true form (tiger) does less damage but is A LOT less MP costly

    PvP
    When I PvP i do humanoid because it does more damage, but I haven't tried pvping in tiger. I guess tiger wouldn't be bad coz fleash ream is 100 acc. and "reloads" quite quickly, but the Chi thing may be a problem unless you have a chi pot.
    I suggest you read both the guides for barb and bm because they're alot more detailed and probably more helpful

    BM vs Barb depends a lot on equipment and player experience.

    All things equal, barb and BM is a long drawn out fight, usually a charm burn.

    In duels the barbs may have a slight advantage, since the BMs charms wont tick, and we have loads of HP.

    But in open PvP, its all upto what you do and how well you do it.

    Against a BM, anti-stun pots are a must. I prefer to start a BM in tigerform rather than humanoid. I use devour and sunder. Then I go humanoid and onslaught, mighty swing and go from there. Once sunder wears off, I go tigerform again and rinse and repeat.

    Poison fang really helps here, since usually the BM has less elemental def than phy def.

    Takes forever and often people just give up or switch targets.
    When the going gets tough; Get a tank!

    Dude it realy depends on what build your going for
    I my self this is what i think
    BM is better if your going for a DD (damgae dealer) build
    where as a Barbarian is better if your going for a Tanks build
    i have found with my barb going with DD will level you quickly
    for the first few lvls and then kill you later

    and if your going for a Hybrid build then you could use eather
    depending on what you whant more of
