hi guys, i stop playing this game for a while to play **** and i sorta totally forgot everything about PW so...i want to make a barb.

i got some questions:

1. do we have DD build? if so is it good or bad ( pros and cons ?)

2. if i go demon side, should i focus all my points into beast mode?

3.pk/pvp should i have more hp or deal more dmg as a barb?

4. DD build

STR: ??
Dex: ??
Vit: ??
Mag: ??

tank build

STR: ??
Dex: ??
Vit: ??
Mag: ??

hybrid build

STR: ??
Dex: ??
Vit: ??
Mag: ??


5. last but not least, dmg build barbs are ok for pve instances or should they just be tank build ( which i got no idea what it is)

    theres actually no DD build because the most damage comes from Weapon and skills (mastery+ strength of titans and poison fang). When you like some extra damage use rings with added phy attack and garnet shards in your weapon. I just can say adding more than 300 str (300 with gear) is fail and a waste of points.

    it is true there isn't really a DD barb build, The main reason being that Barbs are tanks, Barbs who aren't don't generally get Squads... Afterall, Who wants a barb who can't tank a boss?

    Weapons and Shards are your friends, Also going Demon gives a Big boost to DMG (I haven't tested this yet as i'm not there, But i've seen it and hell I can't wait)

    If you want to be a dd barb its best to start out as tank and prepare yourself to re-stat mid to late 90's, when barb tanks aren't needed as much. This will allow you to level faster as instances will be easy to come by and dd barbs pretty much suck until later in game anyway. Like wizards, barbs are a labor of love and require lots of patience to see the end result potential.

    Just get a charm and good genie skills and you can tank anything fine as a DD-based barb. Of course, you won't actually get to dd often unless you have another barb with you.
