Need some help

Cyrus_Khane - Sanctuary · September 2010

Just checking to see if my build is on track. Some of my skills need built up, but that's a money problem, so just let me know what skills need to be levelled, instead of "OMGZ UR ROR IZ ONLY LVL 1?!?! U R TEH SUXXORZ" Thanks. I appreciate constructive criticism, but if you're a **** about it, don't bother.

Like I said, the lacking skills are so because I'm a dirt poor barb, not because I'm ignorant.
So, any guidelines or anything of that sort it much appreciated.
Thanks for looking =P

I am not a barb expert but I find this guide has all/most of what you could ever need

Cyrus_Khane - Sanctuary · September 2010

I have that in my favorites already, i was just hoping for some feedback from some experienced barbs. b:pleased

your stats look overall okay, a few could be tweeked here and there, but overall nothing horrible. Maybe lay off your str a little, and add to your Vit the next few levels. As for skills, the way I worked it was focusing on my tiger form skills all first and formost. I built the barb to tank, so naturally these are the skills I use most. All others can wait for me till I have tons of extra SP. Not saying this is your answer, just what worked very well for me.

I used the guide I linked as my check for my barb, plus talk to other barbs in game, particularly higher level ones - usually while you are waiting for squads to gather for instances is a good time to ask for tips

My barb I totally screwed up - got him to level 50, but I had his stats a bit screwed plus I had totally neglected his tigerform skills. I got tired of him and moved on to veno but go back to him for a change now and then.. I scraped enough together to get him a reset and put him on the right path too.

I will post my barb stats for comparison:

Level 75

Base          Equipped
V: 109       151
S: 229       241
D: 47         60
M: 5          5

Equips:
Tome of Fecundity Dex+4, Vit+3
3* Neck of Inner Peace HP+105
1* Cloak of Blaze Vit+2, HP+30, 1 Avg Cit
2* Skywalker Vambraces HP+50, Str+3, 2 Common Cit
3* Amulet of 8 Treasures +1 HP+90, Vit+3
3* Silver Crescent Ring Dex+7, Vit+7
3* Fleeting Rainbow Ring str+1, Vit+2, Dex+2
Helm of Aqua Viciousness Vit+5, 3 Flaw Cit
3* Mail of Antiquity Vit+5, HP+105, 1 Avg Cit
Cuisses of Divine Beast +3 str+4, vit+5, 3 Beaut Cit
2* Greaves of Lion Rage (quest reward) str+4, 2 Avg Cit
Calamity Axes +1 Vit+10, HP+185, 1 Flaw Garnet

Kinda average gear I think but as its just an alt for fun, I am not going overboard on it - the better gear was hand-me-downs from some faction mates.

flesh ream should be maxed by lvl 54 for a tank.

DD will be major holding back their damage if this isnt maxed if they are not grabbing aggro from you.

you will need alacrity of beast @ lvl 7-8 minimum for fight against wyvern

unless your cleric is freaking pro with max leveled Purify or you have 2 clerics all the time for your BH

its the only thing that will cause major party wipe for your level b:chuckleb:chuckle

In order of importance.

1. Flesh ream
2. Alacrity of Beast
3. Minimum lvl 1 devour/ lvl 1 surf impact
4. Reasonable HP amount.. I have 10k @ my level.. but i have seen barb with 7 k doing okie.
5. Phy def around 6k-7k minimum.
6. HP buff
7. Attack buff

its what i think anyway b:pleased

XylolyX - Heavens Tear · September 2010

It is my opinion that order of importance of your skills are:

1: axe & hammer mastery
2: BKI
3: SoTitans
4: Flesh Ream
5: Alacrity (leave at lvl7 until you are comfortable with timing of cancels and can afford to level it.)

Honestly, if I were in your shoes, I would put some effort into leveling Poison Fang and I didn't see Frighten in there...it's a useful skill though not critical to level.

As far as your build goes: As long as you can equip your weapons and armor, it's fine. HP is not always a deal breaker with a barb, as long as you really learn what you are doing and do it well.

And gear...

If you can afford to...those skeleton axes would benefit you more with accuracy or attack shards instead of HP.

Armors...TT armors you don't need to worry about until 70 or 80. I'd say 80 since the 60's and 70's seem to fly by. As far as money to afford stuff goes: A little bit of grinding combined with a little bit of farming should net you 100K for every 90 minutes you do it.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for all the input, I wrote everything down, and I'm working towards a better barb.

As for the gems in my axes, I wasn't given a choice, my tt axes were made for me by my Facton leader, and he put the gem in.

if you can afford new gems (either to buy or to make from shards) then go to the blacksmith and purify the weapon and put in new gems.

From my own experience, I'd say go with Mostly legendary gear for armor - use TT weapons of course - until youre ready for your 90 gear. Exception being if youre dead set on getting TT 90 gear, then youll need to decomp your TT 80 gear. I only recently realized I didn't need to decomp my 80 gear to make my 90 green gear... and I was a bit peeved I spent as much time farming TT as I did to make it.. when I didn't even need to. Certainly make yourself some 70 and 80 gear if you have the mats for it and it wont break the wallet.. just don't let yourself believe (nor let anyone tell you that) its the only way to go.
