Hey guys and gals. New barb in the house. Taking a break from leveling my sin to work on my barb for the faction as barbs are becoming rare. I'm only level 28 right now but leveling with a cleric at my side. Was wanting you to check this build: 3str 2vit even levels
3str 2dex odd levels until dex is 60. Also I'm confused as I spend most of my time in tiger form tanking for the cleric. Pulling 4-5 mobs at once. Havn't gotten roar yet. What skills do I want to max first?

I don't want to waste spirit. I've gotten Alac of the beast to level 2. I like the canceling and stunning. But I don't use human form that much unless to buff. I've gotten to a buff I don't know if I should take. Poison Sting or something like that. Adds 12% wood damage to my attacks in tiger form. Taken Shape Shifting level 4. Garrot, giant swing is level 4. Now I'm saving my spirit until I figure out what to do.

Also I'm wanting to be a vit barb. Not worried about high str as I want the vit to tank mobs. If I wanted to damage mobs I'd grab my sin XD. Sin is the first DD I've ever played in any mmo. I've usually always been a tanker or healer. But barb skills are a bit confusing as you can waist alot of spirit really fast if you're not careful. If you could help boost me in the right direction. I'd appreciate it. Thanks very much! b:victory

    There is a nice Pure Tiger Form Stickied thread up there..
    But you going to want to max
    Beast king Inspiration,
    Strength of the titans
    Poison fang,
    Feral regeneration
    Flesh ream

    Its best to cap alacrity at lvl8 because at lvl 8 the cool down is almost exactly the same as the gap between bosses using there Aoes. Perfect for canceling Drum and such,
    When it comes to Roar, you wont really be using it much until maybe BH51, when you only takeing like 3 mobs, but make sure you have it at lvl 10 by 80 For FCC, or else you wont hold the agro long enough for the cleric to heal you, and the squad to kill the mobs...

    um, Devour is another great skill to max, at lvl 10 it has a 50% def reduction on the mob your attacking...

    basically, if your going pure tiger... just max all your tiger form skills, and you should be right.

    yes my pure tiger guide goes into good detail about what skills to max in what order

    but if you have the coin i highly recommend putting exp in genie to prevent you from leveling and keeping the spirit from bh to max your skills.. doing this will also allow u to get human form skills as well. although u wont find those in my guide.

    you should also take a look at my heal aggro guide stickied in the cleric forum.

    most of it pertains to clerics, but its got some nice info for all classes, as well as a nice guide to bh 29

    i also went into detail in the second post of the barb guide as to why i say to max alacrity instead of stopping that lvl 8, but i don't need to repeat it here as u can just read it.

    and as always if u have question of comment, or even just suggestions for either guide u can post them in the guide or pm me and ill get it updated soon as i can.

    and also if u have the time u should take a look and the status icon guide me a a few other put together on the wiki.

    Killing level 80's with a lvl 60 is a lot more fun than killing level 90's with a level 100.
