I love damage dealing classes...i had a 71 blademaster and very much enjoyed him too. I was thinking on making a barbarian But i was wondering...is it worth it? i hear alot of bad talk about barbs and their Low damage but being Godly engame...i want to know what i should do I.

    Barbs dont have to be poor damage dealers you can go aps with them then they become one of the best damage dealers in game.
    Yes we are godly end game but that requires above average gear

    Yes it is said at lower levels our best bet is to team up with squads to complete quests since our attack rate and our damage is not the greatest. But as you start getting into end game gears well our damage increases, as for becoming aps, that is a great way to become a nice damage dealer.

    But dont let our axe damage fool you most end game barbs have amazing damage and in PvP well thats another story. To avoid the stun lock get the level 79 skill and that should help as well as the genie skill AD. This is also perfect for those "close calls" when either being ganked and or stunned. Not to mention there are many different types of aps out there as you can go lunar, hh nirvy, r9, r8 recast and claws or fists.

    With axes, we have poor damage. With claws, we have some of the best damage. However its more important to focus on your survivability first, and then damage. Once that is sufficient you can bring your damage up to par.

    Barbs are more about spike damage and just outlasting your opponent. You'll probably get frustrated with a barbs lack of control skills and lack of ability to avoid being controlled. The way we overcome that is learning to kite, and surviving until we have an opening.

    Think of the situation of a barb vs a sin. They might out dd us 3:1, but if we have 4:1 more hp then we win. And they will be taking many small amounts off our hp with attacks where we will take large chunks off theirs.

    For barbs, gear plays a larger roll in pvp than most classes.
