what is fun/good

In my opinion, and what most of the people I know say multi path bm is more fun than barb because weapon swiching is really cool.
From my experience Veno and Blademaster are easiest in PvE (in that order), and as far as PvP/TW go it really just depends on how well you do your job.


Just my two cents..

in a 1 vs. 1 between Barb and BM of equal level (or even within a few levels of each other) a fight can go either way really. It depends on the player knowing their skills/the skills of the enemy. Ability to strategize etc. One of the things Blade Masters (and sins) like to do a lot in PvP is try to stun lock you while they **** away at you. Barbarians get Violent Triumph (expensive level 79 skill) that makes them unstunnable for 10 seconds (cool down of 60 seconds). If you're fighting someone that is charmed, 10 seconds is the cool down time of the charm so realistically speaking that allows you the full amount of time you need to kill them once their charm ticks.

In TW it is very different. The BM's (someone correct me if I'm wrong) try to keep everyone stunned while also dealing AoE and direct damage to the opponents. The barbarians role depends. Generally the ones with the highest HP and best defenses will be pulling a catapult and their job is basically to survive getting hit by everyone. Still other barbs may be used to co-ordinate an Armageddon strike.

it really depends on what you want your role to be in TW and instances when it comes to which class you prefer to play.

Generally speaking:
-Barbs get hit and distract enemies
-Blademasters crowd control and damage

its not really the class itself that is good at PK (though some may disagree here) but rather the person playing the class. Barbs have naturally high HP and are thus hard to take down, meaning they can take on anyone. Blademasters can stun lock, meaning they can take on anyone. sins can stun/seal lock and go stealth meaning they can take on anyone. Clerics can self heal, deal both physical and magical damage from range (never misses) and can put you to sleep. Wizards can sleep (or is it seal?) you and deal high damage per hit from range. Psychics get insane damage and have loads of PvP oriented self status modifying self buffs - they can take a barb out easy if played correctly. Archers deal hgh physical dps from range and boast some elemental attacks as well for use against heavy armor wearers.. they can stun, slow, and immobilize their opponents. If I'm not mistaken they also have the longest attack range of any character. Venomancers can pwn PVP with a 200 dollar legendary pet, but without it they will experience difficulty in PK against many classes.

it really comes down to your play style when it comes to PK. I recommend if you roll a toon on a PVP server, go Barb or BM to have best chances to survive a gank. Any other class is basically toast if they get ganked.
