    there are many ways. But the easiest way is intervals.

    can you be more specific about your weapon preference and build

    what level are you btw ?

    at low levels barbs might beat you b'coz of HP advantage, but end game BM owns Barbs. Except people like Endless_life and Jlung

    hmmmm you should be able to take out barb of ur lvl with stun lock using axe or a little kiting with pole.

    remember to keep phy marrow on and you will do fine :)

    It depends. Mostly you'll be able to kill barbs. There is this one barb on LC, +12 nirvana axes... they hurt, a lot. I generally die to them and I have 5aps +10 claws and 10k hp. Those nirvana axes hurt. :<
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.

    As already pointed out, a lot of it has to do with your play style, level, weapon of choice and interval.

    I have not met a barb yet on HT that I can not handle with little trouble, but I am sure there are some out there I have not run into as well. Interval helps, more so for claws/fists if you use them end game. My favorite one to mess with is a demon barb with +12 nirvana 2 axes. Against my lunar +10 at 5.0 can still down him before he is able to hit me hard enough, but yeah, he can deal out some damn hard hits.

    Pjysical Marrow being up makes a huge impact, as well as any other Pdef gear that you might have for swapping out. If using your pole, keep in mind that your ranged attacks are slower via channel and cast, as well as he probably has as much Pdef as you. Leaping in throwning off a stun and burning him down normally works well, as long as you know to get out for sparking and what not.
