hi guys,

I've got a lvl 15 barb and I was wondering if there were any skills
I really should NOT buy due to being useless.

Thanks!

    It depends on that, what form will u play.

    For example:
    If u wanna play Tiger Mode[Tank mode], buy only skills for Tiger Form. U can buy some for Humanoid form, if u have more Spirit and cash.

    Its the same in Humanoid Form. Just buy Human skills. I advice u to buy Tiger Form with Flesh Ream for tanking anyways.

    U HAVE to max asap buffs, like Beast King Inspiration for more HP, Strength of the Titans for higher DMG and Blood Bath for higher Accuracy...

    Thats all, I think.

    well...


    check all the skills here:http://ecatomb.net/skillpwi.php




    what i recommend is to GET ALL SKILL TO AT LEAST LEVEL 1



    since almost every skill requires a previous skill learned to be aquired, then just LEARN EVERY SKILL...







    now that u know this, i might tell you which skill to leave at level 1 until past level 80 (when ull be able to max almost all skill)




    Level past 1 just if you have spare money/spirit:


    -stomp
    -garrotte
    -swell
    -firestorm
    -slam
    -bloodbath



    focus on passive and buff at the beginning



    you can also leave behind the two skills for level 79 (both are just 1 level) if you are broke/no sprit, but those are rather distant from you atm so nevermind...

    Garrotte and stomp of the beast king are both kinda useless, though if you end up going demon stomp becomes quite useful.

    But the skills you must absolutely max are as follows.

    Shapeshifting intens.

    Fleshream.

    True form.

    Mighty swing.

    Penetrate armor.

    Feral regen.

    Roar(get this atleast to 1 but I recommend you max it).

    Beastial rage.

    And group buffs.

    Helpful skills that you could max only if you want is...

    Invoke.

    Armageddon(not useful until your a high level and even then it would only be good in some pvp situations).

    Sunder.

    Devour.

    Beastial onslaught(if your going demon but it is a skill to train).

    Poison fang(Decent damage increase but if your squad is moving fast you may not have it half the time).

    Bloodbath(only good in pvp and such as you won't be in many squads where you will be doing anything but tank).

    However all skills should be trained to level one atleast as to open up future skills.

    Personally I never use devour. I've heard some people say it's good, but really.. I'd rather use my chi on keeping aggro (ream) than lowering physical defense of mob. Yea I know Devour increases threat but not nearly as much as ream.

    Just my opinion. b:bye

    To the OP, what skill is useless??
    Stomp like people say? Actually thats a good chi gaining skill, mainly used for soloing purposes when you need chi.
    Garrote? its the least MP skill and not a shabby skill...
    Firestorm? Actually that is good for metal mobs in AOE and / or increased DEF.
    I have yet to use a skill that is useless
    Personally I never use devour. I've heard some people say it's good, but really.. I'd rather use my chi on keeping aggro (ream) than lowering physical defense of mob. Yea I know Devour increases threat but not nearly as much as ream.

    Just my opinion. b:bye

    They know its good, and it actually is. And of course devour helps maintain arggo. If devour is too much chi for you then you got to be doing something wrong. What barb will try tanking with low chi? Also devour is good not only for tanking, but DDing as well. Use this skill wisely as it is an epic opener (I always open with devour, not flesh ream). You'll kill faster this way. Always have 75 (35 + 20 + 20) chi before you try tanking... and of course MP recovery consumables. Easier to keep arggo this way... I done this many times. b:victory

    Devour is great for both tanking AND soloing.

    It's essential if you want to kill a BM or another Barb in PvP.

    Its all-round essential, my devour on my barb is at LVL6
    decreasing p.def by 38% and attack level by 6.

    Apparently that guy have no idea, the reason why it is not as strong as arggo as flesh ream because it decreases a lot of P.DEF and some attack levels.

    When I tank, I make sure I open with devour on single targets, the flesh ream and going with frighten, then surf impact.

    past LVL 10 devour makes your opponent only do 85% damage, stack that with frighten, and you'll receive much less damage. With sage's roar would do great. So why not spam devour? it can also save your life.
