    R9 Barb

    Why? ---> Imagine: Demon Armageddon stacked with = God of Frenzy + Crit + 93 Attack lvl total from Jones Blessing and your gear = Everything in range dead (Counts aswell Trees, Rocks, Walls, Glitches, Blue named ppl and even future players who havent even finished installing the game)

    i totally understand what your saying...would be...idk amazing lol, but for overall purposes lets say tw/pk only ofcoarse barb = more hp and can always get over all defence well bc of a bm with axes/fist but in the end what would just make pk/tw way more fun bm or barb full r9 im geussing vit shards +10 gear

    interesting question.

    First I wouldnt touch r9 before we know what happens with medals. Rough estimate of this gear im guessing 1.5bill. I would invest that amount of coin while waiting.

    Also if you are lucky (big if) we will see what happens with 40v40 wars. Would be interesting to see how each class plays in those.

    easy answer would be which char do you currently enjoy play the most in pk/tw?

    some thoughts on pros/cons.

    If I was ever to get r9 I would go with a specialised built to bring full justice to the gear and leave the other char as an aps/farming toon. (unless you dislike farming and have other means to generate coin)

    (Disclaimer Im not an expert in bm skills)
    For bm I see the full r9 gear working best with a classic axe built focusing around high defence 80/100 dex vit/str after how you find your survivability. Best suited for tw securing choke points and hot spots.
    Main problem there are many advantages of using fists. Could carry some different armor and stat 200 dex I just think it would be kinda wasted using a full r9 this way.

    Barb I would either make a full vit sage catapuller or a demon hybrid built prob 80/100 dex extra str depending on what you prefer.
    both very good choices for different things. obv if you dont like to pull cata the vit built is out.

    the more vit you stat I would shard more with jades and use prob half Jade/vit stones if less vit statted.


    IMO R9 is better suited for barbs than bms. The bm axes looks way cooler though.
