I will always remember Calamity as the faction that put out a phenomenal effort to achieve their ultimate goal. There has been excessive flaming and finger pointing in all directions, but the most important thing is, this was the collaborated team effort from every member in faction participating in TW. I was extremely…

I was pulling a catapult...I demand a cata scroll refund! b:cry

I've seen some sage barbs re-roll another barb, but make him demon. That way, you can keep your kick-*** sage barb, and transfer the necessary gear back and forth between your sage and demon barb. With fast leveling up nowadays, it won't be too difficult to get a demon barb up to level 100. It may be tedious to go through…

Many people seem to treat this as an 80 vs 80 single-class PK fest rather than a TW. Teams like team wiz can defend base really well, but how can they push in an offence? A barb in full turtle takes a while to kill, not to mention you will encounter 79 other barbs that can switch to defence mode when surviving damage.…

I think he meant as long as the BM doesn't get the Strength of the Titans buff. From what I'm seeing in this thread, if a barb and bm only have their own buffs, then the barb would do a little more damage over time.

I'd avoid arma against BM's, because they're always beating away on you, so it's hard to time your HP being full and timing their HP at 50%. Arma takes about 2 seconds to pull off. Against a 5aps BM, pressing arma at full health is a mistake - you'd have to use it 2 secs before your charm ticks, and hope that their charm…

Sage barbs are all about taking it...b:surrender but at least we have one skill that really counts! Even if it's delta with every debuff in existence, it's still nice to deal 6 figs as a barb. Go barbs! b:laugh

Aggro skills are definitely not up to par with the changes made to the game: event gear, jones blessing, -interval gear. I find that any BH69 and under can be tanked with a barb without much trouble, unless DD's are as you described. BH79 and higher basically have no use for a barb though - it's faster for DD's to spark…

Agreed - I did not mean to single you out when there are some others from both factions that have gone off-topic to berate each other. I just wanted to point out that in the thread you posted, the situation was resolved because there was a misunderstanding.

I'm sure you read the second page of that thread. It was understood the situation was a misunderstanding during a PK fest, and that member is back in Calamity in good terms. Do you happen to have the second page saved? This isn't a thread to defame a faction, especially if the proof is incomplete only to preach further…

Great guide Knownase! I can only add that carrying magic defence charms is a good idea (made at apothecaries). You never know when a big chunk of magic hits your face, and the defence charms will reduce any hard hitting spell.

You're not wrong - it's just that the barb's biggest advantage is their HP, and the +30 attack blessing takes away much of that advantage. I think a barb's best matchup is against a cleric. Violent triumph resists both silent and chromatic seal, and a well-timed armageddon is deadly for arcane classes. Clerics have to work…

Pretty much :(

Viklass is right; and even if it were the GM's, it all comes down to business. We may complain about packs ruining end-game for players who farm hard compared to cash players, but even with all the commotion, people still play the game and charge zen. If they made a lot of money putting those packs in the boutique, they'll…

Maybe on a $$$ barb, and even then, I highly doubt it. Most decked-out interval characters you encounter not only have the interval gear, but the refines. GL holding aggro from a BM with TT100 +10 fists, with your +5 weapon. Even if your weapon was +10, the attack rate affects aggro so much more than flesh ream + your…

Practice, practice, practice! Nothing like gaining experience doing all those bh29's. That will help you tank confidently for the instances ahead.

It's true that endgame barbs, whether sage/demon, can dish some really good damage. But with all the event gear and -interval craze, the dps on damage dealers is just insane. I see so many fist barbs now because it gives them the ability to kill a lot more effectively. Also, seeing archers and clerics with 12k hp unbuffed…

I find Untamed Wrath unhelpful in PVE, as the aggro built is little and it has to be used in human form. I find the skill is more useful in PvP for interrupting channeling. It has a bit of range too so it's nice to stop nuke spells, zhens, and revive (prevent enemy clerics in TW from reviving their allies).

But but..sage version lasts for an hour! Squad members love 1-hr HP buff! Giving squad chi by spamming the buff is a really nice as well. Either or, you cant go wrong with sage or demon BKI.

In OHT when using the chrono fragment, if you get the crit buff, it doesn't show up on your stats window. However, I noticed a significant increase in the number of times I crit. The +crit% buff icon (I think it looks like the "immune to debuffs" icon...I'm not sure) shows up with your other buffs, but it just doesn't show…

Surprisingly, the 90+ legendary gold armor set has almost the same base stats as TT99 gold armor set, and even refines the same. As you mentioned, the only difference are the adds. Is it worth the extra 1680 mysterious chips + 40 mil (or something like that) for the chest plate gold mat? Probably not for just for 200ish…

That's interesting - I'll go try it out. Thanks for the tip :) I've always avoided PA in pvp for those high-evasion classes because I miss it often (even with bloodbath, 2X 50% accuracy rings >__>) and it wastes chi if you miss . But next time I'll give it shot, and if it connects, I'll try to see if the remaining attacks…

As someone mentioned, sins are "killable" for regular barb (non-fist). They can kill fast if you're unaware or unprepared; but with violent triumph and mighty swing, you can kill sins just as fast, so it's a matter of well-timed use of skills. Fist bm's are a nightmare for barbs. The biggest problem isn't tanking the…

M-m-m-m-m-monster kill!

Untamed Wrath does have range, but the biggest problem is that it's used in human form. It adds only slightly more aggro, so a continuous barrage or DB will take it right back even after you use it if you didn't have aggro to begin with.

Most of my answers seem similar to Feral_Wrath's, but I'll try to mention anything else I can think of :P I'm a sage barb. 1. As a Sage/Demon Barb, what have you noticed you can do better than before in your chosen path? Is this of a significant difference? I honestly think whether one goes demon or sage, you'll find many…

This thread died when Decus stopped updating his sig :(

Barbs are most effective against clerics and robe Venos in PK. I've never fought a psychic of my level in PvP - if someone could tell me what it is like barb vs psychic of the same level. But like Sins, I think it's the same idea - once you have the correct timing of stuns and Violent Triumph, get to the Tideborn it's…

I like how one case of "class A beats class B" means OMG ALL OF CLASS B IS THE SAME AND CLASS A WILL ALWAYS BEAT B!!!!! Who did say barbs were unbeatable? Flattering :P but if you were fail enough to believe that, there is nothing else to say.

I have both, but if I were to have one of them, I'd choose Violent Triumph. It has great uses in PvP/Duels. It can be also used in TW when the you, as the cata barb, are running through stun towers and saving the apoth cooldown for attacking the crystal. I found Untamed Wraith pretty useless. I only use it as a long-range…
