Well one makes the barb's job easier(demon) and one makes the cleric's job easier(sage), so it comes as no surprise barbs rave about the demon one. Which is also why I like that one =p.

You don't need to follow the guide by the letter, this was intended for the average mob. No guide will list how you attack every mob in pwi and for good reason, that is simply an example of how you battle the average mob and it is right. The point is you frost arrow, auto attack until they come into range and knockback…

You cannot simply say a fist bm is **** compared to a fist archer, they are just different and the fist portion of the archer is only for when you cannot kite the enemy. Why? Because straight up, the fist bm would in head to head battle with a fist archer... Because the fist bm has the mastery, heavy armor, and stuns(to…

Claw barbs typically start out as tanking barbs, get to level 95-100 get bored and restat to claws. It cannot be done before absolute endgame as it would be considerably hard to find a squad willing to invite you just to hear your a dps barb.... Oh and also claw build also involves axes as you cannot use skills with the…

As far as the 3rd one to train certain skills you need to train the previous skill in the tree first, so typically you will be training everything to atleast one.
-
Well the idea of an archer is you do physical to arcane uses and kite/use magic attacks against melee users.... This ontop of stuns and such aswell. The only class archers have any real trouble with if played right is assassins.
-
I have 4 skills on my genie....(It is zeal btw). 1)Earthflame for pulling. 2)ToP for healing. 3)Solid shield for well... Making a solid shield =p. 4)alpha male for holding aggro aoe.
-
The reasoning is with demon that 10% more crit rate+crit gear+that beastial onslaught=50%+crit rate. But that is just the crit rate, the reason barbs go mostly dex is because up until level 77 a tank build barb will struggle to get above 1k accuracy even with bloodbath, which means if your fighting an assassin or archer or…
-
DDs should not have to be healed unless your in an extreme situation, I literally never need healing unless the boss aoes, why? I be careful not to pull aggro and always fire at the same target as the barb... I literally don't need to think at all as an archer in bhs/fbs. We get priority on heals? Well yeah but we also…
-
From a person that has both DDs and a barb char I must say barbs most definately DO NOT. For instance, last night for the first time ever, I afk killed a bh boss with my archer. To the OP, don't generalize especially when your talking about a single idiot barb.... I always collect chi before instances and fistfight for chi…
-
I just shopped/got quest items until I levelled to 60 and got my TT xbow and I must say between 21 and 45 it was difficult to level my archer, given not much more difficult then to level certain other classes between these levels but difficult nonetheless. However when you get to 45(or a little higher)you not only begin to…
-
Not reading my post 4tl. Tell me why any archer would want to run into his/her bh and tank mobs? There are select situations in 59 where it might be fine but other then that hell no.... But the same could be said about psychics, I have a psychic friend that wouldn't imagine to be able to take on more then 1 mob during a…
-
I wouldn't say that would be a good idea unless in an absolute wtf happened situation. For instance, during one of my bh51s way back when I was in my mid 60s a bm intentionally attempted to wipe us(either that or something bad happened)and he pulled about 12 mobs in on us before dying. I roared, beastial raged, turtled,…
-
With this build you would need to level to 108 before you could get the TT99HA armor as it is 1 dex per 2 levels. This is one of the reasons I don't like standardized builds for barbs, because it is just simpler to find out what dex and str you need for gear next level, throw that in 10 levels ahead of time and pass all…
-
I would still modify it to have 60 dex. Because even though you only need about 50 dex or so for armor and weapons it is just a hop skip and jump to an extra 1% crit rate, this is too much to pass up. This is why the normal build is just enough dex/str for armor and weapons everything else into vit, endgame cap your dex at…
-
Some barbs follow this build, however this build would be rather dex heavy(86+dex endgame)when I personally am going to stop at around 60 for the extra crit and to be able to wear all gear.... However my build is a tank build.
-
I have never pvped so my logic may be full scale flawed, however take it for what it is. In duels I used to be creamed by psys because I didn't understand them, but really it's simply a matter of understanding their skills... For instance, the psys I normally duel will use psy will and soul burn to ensure they get about 15…
-
Well my level 66 archer can take on 3 mobs at once if I am smart and kite wisely, given not 3 bh mobs but you shouldn't be tanking a bh anyways as you have another class for that; a barb. Is it hard to level an archer? Harder then some classes at first, yes, but once you get to 60 and know how to use it properly it's cake.…
-
I was once asked at level 62 to tank and DD wyvern by myself because the cleric didn't want to die. It didn't end well.
-
Read the stickied guide which explains almost all of those questions. As far as the exp and money question experience can be made by doing countless quests, barbs do take ages to level so get your drink and popcorn ready. For money there is a myriad of things to do, but typically the way people make money from 1 to 60 is…
-
Can't solo? Are you serious? Because if so that means all casting classes can't solo as clerics really don't lack in damage and have a self heal. You say our buffs can't help? Well when soloing more hp=helps everybody... But yet you didn't answer my question; do you run around sanctuary tanking for every char that asks?…
-
I have never Pvped and I know sins are quite good at this due to their stealth capabilities however on my barb I have yet to lose to a sin, whereas I have lost to every other class I have dueled atleast once.
-
Do you run around sanctuary giving out free tanking sessions and barb buffs? If not then quit saying they need to do anything because they do not.
-
"True for a barb with minimum DEX I barely relied on charm and I never remembered draining HP charms at all on mine, except for when I had to tank w/ no healer. Barbs are not meant to be squishy by any standards unless they using that white equips, Armageddon skill or too low leveled. True if you don't open with debuff I…
-
1)No never, I tanked my fb29 myself and we squad wiped at the beginning because I only had one hand free(was eating a sandwich) so I decided to always give it my full attention whilst tanking. 2)- 3)Well it's my job to keep the party and the cleric from losing health, so yes I typically expect the cleric to keep my alive…
-
Normally the clerics I squad with are pretty cool people, and I have a decent amount of respect for them because they are the reason I can do my job(and live that is)and they spend quite a bit of money on the mana whilst doing so. As far as them not buffing you they don't "have" to do anything, it's their darn buffs they…
-
I don't use charms and don't intend to... But if I was the barb in this situation I would have used invoke and leave the squad and then leave the instance all together... There is a difference between punishing a barb for being a dumbass and simply hating all barbs on the basis of them being barbs. As far as most barbs…
-
Actually I have both heraldry axes and calams and I must say calams are excellent for tanking, mainly because 5% hp means nothing if your cleric is doing anything other then outright damage dealing and the double damage allows me to hold aggro slightly better. But this is quite the opposite when damage dealing as a barb as…
-
I have had no problems with knockback besides the occasional mob going turbo speed after being knockedback for some reason. Though at this point(lvl 65)I rarely use any skill other then frost arrow.
-
Read the guides above and either re roll barb or use a reset stone to make that magic go bye bye.
