    Hi, I'm new too, but from what I've read in a majority of the other posts, if you really want to be a good barbarian and to do what we do best [tanking, that is] you want to maximize your constitution and minimize your dexterity and strength.

    In other words, get enough STR and DEX requirement so you can wear your equipment, and put everything else into Vitality. This also means you'll have really low damage a majority of your gaming experience, but if you want really high damage output, play Archer or Blademaster.

    Yes. He asked for help and tips on any builds, and I gave him the most useful one.

    Nowhere in my post did I mention the build I suggested him does the most damage.

    i would go with the 6 str 2dex and 2 vit still if you can get armor with slots and vit on it and you will be just as good as any other build and you will have i high chance to hit mobs with out paying 8 mill each for +50% ace rings

    Well above all, I would recommend filling weap/armour requirements and dumping rest into VIT, aka the "Tank" build.

    If you wanna deal damage and have lots of dex, roll and archer b:thanks

    I personaly on my barb (my second bar is lvl 17 this is the one im talkin about)
    Go for a build of +5 Str, +2 Vit, +3 Dex per 2 lvls
    it seems to work al right and it gives you at lest some dex
    wich will give you some acuracy
    NOTE:This is the Hybrid build
    Cheers

    i dont know, its up to the player but Im positive that going less than 3 vit is bad. Its like an archer that adds vit. Apart from being "a good tank" ideea, the only reason why no one but wizards dare mess with a barbarian it's his insane HP. That's what gives you the edge in battle. By gimping your HP you encourage other classes to start attackig you no longer being "unwise to pk". Also you gimp your attack power. Perdition its the strongest skill in the game and its based on your HP. Why would you gimp the only spell guaranteed to 1 hit almost all robes and lights within 10+ levels. And the dex gained from the 1dex is too minimal to worth the effort. Just get acuracy powder, rings use alacrity of the beast when you dont use perdition.
