    with the right build, pots and timing, to be able to solo tank nearly every boss in game at level 95 except world bosses and the endgame dungeons. b:victory

    Whoever said all bh 69 (especially Pole) bosses can't be killed without a healer at level 95 never played a barb right

    xxxxxxxx: LF Barb for BH Seat
    xxxxxxx: Squad's ready, just need tank for BH.
    xxxxxxxxxxx: TT3-x, looking for barb. Last spot.
    xxxxx: BH69 need barb. Free wine.
    xxxxx: LF 2 to help open TT. Paying 100k for a barb.
    xxxxxxxx: Cleric looking for barb hubby to lay me down by the fire and make sweet sweet lovin's.
    xxxxxxx: BH Seat squad, still LF barb
    xxxxxxxxxxxx: LF BARB, LAST SPOT SQUADS READY JUST NEED BARB.
    xxxxxx: WTS FCC 82-92, 350k. Free for barb.
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxx: FCC 80-90 need barb. Will pay your repairs.



    Barbs not needed? psssh. Watch your WC.

    Although personally my favorite thing is a sin telling me he can solo an FCC in 25 minutes because he can stealth, and farm books in Seat in 15 minutes and my response is "yah, me too. But when I'm done everything in the instance is dead." I love being able to pull 15 mobs, invoke, have 5 dead before invoke wears off, and tank the other 10 with trip spark->aps. Think it takes 7 or 8 pulls for a Seat and invokes cooldown fits right into killing and pulling.

    Also, Revenge + 5 aps + 15k hp human + barb defenses is amazing. Invoke + bestial rage + sunder + triple spark + unlimited chi means I can be healing massive amounts with damage reduction constantly.

    Having tons of mobs chacing you.

    On top of that, since last espension + update barbs got a place again in the high lvls and aoe teamwork is starting to live again. While I had a bit of a barb-dip before, I'm really enjoying to play the class again.

    Oddly enough, I'm the opposite. I love PvE on my barb and would rather solo a 3-x with him than my bm or sin, but our lack of control skills and lack of anti-stun make barb pvp kind of bleh for me. It's no fun standing there absorbing damage repeatedly trying to get out of stun lock.

    My barb is lvl 93 now with almost 15k hp in tiger form (tt90+3 and flawless cits, nothing special).

    Pulling is definitely the most fun. And doing things without a healer. And actually doing things competently and quickly, ensuring proper aggro and that no one dies unless from their own stupidity. This lets the AoEs aoe stuff. And that makes their classes much more fun. Aoeing an entire instance is alot faster than zeal pulling one by one, even in a nonwined situation.

    Barbs. Pulling full mag hall since lvl 81 est.

    but we do have an antistun. And that 79 AoE stun can also kind of interrupt a BM stun chain. The biggest PvP weakness I have had so far is a lack of damage, but the morai skills look to have somewhat countered that (in theory).

    2.5 second channeling and cast for Untamed Wrath for a 1 second stun isn't impressive lol. No decent BM will leave you unstunned for .2 seconds, much less 2.5. And unfortunately Violent Triumph only lasts 10 seconds with a 60 second cooldown and both these skills require human form to use.

    Personally, I think Barbs got better with the Cornered Beast and Blood Rush skill, especially for solo farming at 5.0 APS.

    We have so many protective skills, like:
    -Invoke
    -Solid Shield on a well built genie
    -Cornered Beast
    -Sage/Demon sparks, the HP gain is big for us.


    I just love being sturdy.
