Hi guys, I've been playing as an archer for a while now and would like to make a barb, only I'm worried about lvling speed of barbs. As an archer I'm used to killing mobs very fast and the only thing that has been stopping me from switching is that.

Do u have any good advice?

    Yo. i had a lvl 70+ barb on HT so im gonna tell ya from my experance...( spelling FTL)
    in the early lvls ya u kill slow.. but that starts to change when u get ur TT/HH or w/e u call it weps. hell it started to change when i got the lvl 50 hammers. I was also a vit. build,
    so ya we cant deal the BIG damage like an archer can or a BM , etc.. but plowing through like 8- 10 mobs (even more depending on equips.) and only getting down to half health makes the medium-highISH damage we have not such a factor. In the early lvls yes we kill slow.. but i dont think its do do low damage but do to MISSES mainly. There is a point with a barb.. the more u lvl it the better it becomes.

    Worried about lvling speed of barbs? b:chuckle

    Just different playstyle, Cap your Dex early so you dont miss a lot.
    Early lvls = Fun. You will never die, you dont have to be so carefull with your aggro...
    Think yourself like a Panzer...
    go in and slowly kill everything b:shocked

    humm as low level

    i agree keep dex high u dont need much vit then. good one to get is level 30 axe mold

    fastest way to level is oracles xD
    if not try AoE grinding at level 40 50+
    zhenning u can try at a few places 50 60 70++

    ofc FB!!
    u will find barbs are more needed than archer so good choice on changing chara b:laugh

    You might wanna lvl up a bit of Frighten and Surf Impact for RB tho, to use when pulling. (Sunder and Invoke you still need the lvl to learn it i think?)

    zhen is a no-brainer. No practice needed really. Just run around and let the mobs follow you and you bring them back to the DD.

    barbs don't level slow, its just playstyle, I seen even seen some archers and venos level even slower than barbs o.O

    Barbarians leveling slow is basically not true. I level my genie through exp sink on my barb (LVL40) and i level fast still. Infact, even faster with skills at highest level and guess what? I'm pure VIT.

    Barbarians in non-demon true form... I agree, its because of damage reduction. The higher the Level of true form, the less damage you deal. But the benefit is that you can get more HP, take more P.DMG and have more movement speed. Tiger form is basically for tanking, but you can still grind in tiger form

    VIT > STR > DEX > MAG... GG
    HA > LA > AR... GG

    HA + VIT = win b:bye

    It's quite easy if you stay in HP and MP charms.

    1-60 enjoy the game... do quest.. buy esos grind supreme foxes, alicrad... etc

    60-71 zhen, buy esos , get decent gear to do gamma

    71-86 gamma.. hp charm

    87-90 - grind on fishies(with a squad, never alone lol) , save up money to get your tt90 equiptment or decent equiptment to be reliable in delta

    90+ delta

    barbs are the worst grinders alone...when it comes to time/exp . This is what i did though you must know this is the fastest way but doing so will miss you out in pretty much most quest after 60.

    there are few barbs who start delta at 86 or so but with an already set up or experienced squad same applies to gamma at 71. (Must be experienced and know how to play your class pretty well)
