Playing and Abilities: Barbarian

[Mattdoesrock]

My current, as of 1.0.6. setup is as follows:

19 blunt, 19 warcries, 15 tactics, 15 two handed mastery, 11 slash, ~ 10 pierce.

The points are pretty obviously placed, but I added 11 slash now because of the (stupid) speed increase and (even more stupid, to the point of retardation) nerf of balestra and ribs breaker; for lvl 3 Disable Limb.

I've yet to really try out the new 6m areas so I'm not sure whether to keep lvl 5 Thunder strike and expansive wave, so I'll have to test them out for myself.

So far this setup has been my best setup offers damage CC's Ally Buffs

The Areas with Dev and Ewave i can almost keep constant damage going on the door it just lacks a CC like Typhoon & Thunder

Im one of the few who still uses Owth's 5 & Onslaught 5 but there both still very useful Definitly gives your allies a nice boost

Pretty good setup's guys, I dont use UM higher then [2].
Waste of mana for me, since i get knocked 3/5 times with lvl [5] UM.
