Reload this Page Barb question regarding skill allocation and ww
Barbarian The king of close quarter combat, they don’t come more vicious than the savage Barbarian. The Barbarian has more weapons and armour options that any other character. There isn’t much subtlety to this class, as it basically revolves around being in a position to get close enough to something to hack it open.

Default Barb question regarding skill allocation and ww - 10-22-2006, 03:16 AM

first off, i'd like to say hi to everyone.

so, hi

ok here i go.

so i'm making a pvp barb and i've maxed out sword mastery and BO.

now that leaves about 40 something odd skill points left. (no way i'm realistically going to reach any level past 90)

i have 1 point in ww but it's lvl 10 with all my plus +skill gear.
i also have 1pt in natural resistance and my resists are maxed in hell.

so, here is where my problem lies. i noticed that adding skill points to ww doesnt make much of a difference once you get out of the negative damage ranges. so i'm thinking about maxing out shout and iron skin.

i'd really appreciate any input that you guys can give me.
thanks.

Invisible, what the **** are you talking about?

@Abieeeee: I think you should remake. With your current build, you could only get a mediocre BvA (barb vs all). BvCs are way better than BvAs, so make a new barb following Loits' guide.

No, WW is one of the first skills to be maxed out. It's your main attack, for Christ's sake.

Max out:
WW
BO
Leap
Axe Mastery
etc.

Look at Loits' guide for details on what to max out in which order.

well, everyone seems so upset that i maxed out sword mastery, maybe i can fix that.

what about a fury colossus sword? it's max dmg is 1point less than a zerk and its abg dmg is higher than a zerk.

so...any opinions on this?

Sword mastery would be fine and all if you could make Beast into a sword.

My ***, people these days, Grief Pb is the worst weapon for any PVP class, range 2 my ***. And if u haven't noticed hes rolled a bva/bvb, beacuse he didn't mention any points into Leap. You have to max WW, as frater answered above, the damage isn't a big increase, but plz, it adds 8% to AR, after every lvl. He can also go swords/axes, even though axes do have the bigget choice of weapons. If he rolls swords he really has 1 choice of weapon, and thats ebotdcb, he can go Grief PB, but thats only range 2, and u would get owned time and time again.And frater is right, you should remake your barb, and choose axes, im using swords right now with the remake of my bvb, even though im 67-0 atm, i feel like a retard for rolling swords again, you should remake arounda axes. Yes, fury would be fine in a CB, but i suggets remaking your barb around axes, they provide for the most damage possible. If you don't want to remake, make sure u atleast have max block, when you are using fury.
