    Most barbs go the "tank/catapuller" route. Depending on how hardcore you want to grind with the occasional FB or boss that needed to be done, it should take you around four to six months to reach 70s (depending). If you find a style you like, you should do pretty good. =3 Your massive HP will make you hard to kill, but your damage might suffer a little (depending again on your build on if you put in minimum STR for gears and weapons).

    I'd recommend the tank build, which is roughly just the dex/str needed for equiment and the rest into vit. This will aid you in tanking which is what a barb does best. Protect the other guys from taking damage and keeping the mob/bosses focused on you.

    How fast you lvl depends on what you do. Many people need barbs to tank for them, so I'd suggest joining a guild with ppl a similar lvl as you and then you can tank the guild's fb's and bosses. Bosses aren't always fun but I'd suggest doing them when you have time. I don't suggest grinding as a barb due to low dmg output. You'll get alot more exp if you just do alot of fb's instead. If you have no choice then go ahead and grind.

    When you hit 59 zhen to 71. Then @ 71 do rebirth gamma till you hit 86.

    Do quests as much as possible during the lower lvl's while they are still worth doing.

    Barbs can be awesome in pvp. If you want to do more pvp you might want to consider putting more points into dex and str. Barbs don't do that much dmg but are a pain to kill ^.^

    Here's a link a friend showed me yesterday. Enjoy =]

    build for barb:

    it should be TANK build, based your STR and DEX to your nxt weapon or armor and then the rest points should be added on VIT.

    how long u should take 7x:

    it depends on your gameplay and strategy...do quest, go grind to get EXP and spirit, etc.

    barbs in PVP:

    barbs rule in PVP, you know, just add more points in STR and DEX (im a tank build barb and i can still PK guys :D)
