Barbarian 50 configuration

Lianos · 10-08-2008, 03:48 PM

Hi, firstly I apologize if this post should go somewhere else and for my english too.

My idea is to share with you the current configuration of my barbarian and two other options I have in mind.

Well this is my current setup:

Slashing 19: Accurate Swings (5), South Cross (5).
Blunt 19: Brutal Impacts (5), Ribs Breaker (3), Lethal Anatomy (5), Mind Squasher (5), Thunder Strike (5).
Piercing 11: Versatility (3).
Tactics 11: Sping (3), Caution (3).
Warcries 19: Frenzy (5), Overwhelming Strength (5), Onslaught (5).
Two Handed Mastery 6: Thirst for Blood (2).

However, as I like the Piercing area and i´m trying not to lose too much Strength or/and damage, this is another option:

Slashing 15: Accurate Swings (3), South Cross (4).
Blunt 17: Ribs Breaker (3), Lethal Anatomy (4).
Piercing 19: Agile maneuvers (5), Balestra (3), Versatility (5), Ripost (5), Lightning Strike (5).
Tactics 11: Feint (3), Sping (3), Caution (3).
Warcries 19: Frenzy (5), Overwhelming Strength (5), Onslaught (5).
Two Handed Mastery 6: Thirst for Blood (2).

A third option is modifying three branches:

Slashing 11: Accurate Swings (3), South Cross (4).
Tactics 15: Sping (3), Caution (3), Trip (4).
Two Handed Mastery 3: Thirst for Blood (2).
The others like the previous one.

Any suggestions, ideas or criticism will be well received.

Greetings

I still think the first one looks best, even if it is a crime not to have disable limb.
I think you lack many vital skills for pvp, but i guess your setups are more for ganking and fort wars.

Personaly i wouldnt waste point in Versatility and Leathal anatomy, spending 8 to get 16 str is just not worth it, two times magnifications is more than enough damage.
Im also very sceptical to put points in lvl 19 spells due to the 180 sec cooldown, howl 3 and beast attack or jaw breaker 3 would do wonders instead.
But fine i think this setup might suit you... no need for SC its overrated.

Blunt 19, brutal impact 5, rib breaker 3,mind squasher 5, leathal anatomy 5.
Piercing 19, Agile maneuvers 5, balestra 1, ripost 5, lightning strike 5.
Tactics 11, spring 3, caution 3.
2h 11, tfb 3, defening roar 1.
Warcries 19, frenzy 5, overwhelming str 5, onslaught 5, unstoppable madness 2.

Here is my prefered setup, it's good enought for PvP, however it aims more to fight in group that's why I don't put points in Thunderstrike anymore. There is no point in stuning people that will get instantly unstuned.

Blunt 19: Forceblow(5), Brutal Impact(5), Ribs breaker(1), Lethal Anatomy(5), Mindsquasher(5), Steel temper(5), Thunderstrike(1)
Slash 13: disable limb(1), devastate(1)
Pierce 7: Balestra(1)
Tactics 15: Feint(1), Spring(1), Caution(4), Trip(4)
2 handed mastery 15: TFB(4), Defeaning roar(1), Beast attack(1)
Warcries 19: Frenzy(5), Overwelming str(5), Onslaught(5), Unstoppable madness(5)

I like ur 1st Setup..I´ll try it btw...

So here is my Lvl 50 Setup:

Slashing (15) : Acurate Swings (4) SC (4)
Blunt (13) : Brutal Impacts (3) Mind Squasher (3)
Piercing (19) : Agile Maneuvers (5) Balestra (2) Lightning Strike (1)<---its enough

Tactics (15) : Feint, Trip (1) Spring (4) Caution (4)
Warcries (19) : Frenzy (5) OwtH (5) Howl (1) Berserk (5) Overwhelming Strength (5) Ons (5) UM (5)
THM (7) : Spirtual Blow (1)

So, i would say....I am a SC Junkie

and i like it to kill Conji´s and warloks with 1 or 2 hits

See u all in Warzone

Are you trying to hide something from us or do you only use 38 power points?

It clearly lacks Caution(4), and Lethal Anatomy(5)

Vroek · 10-09-2008, 02:08 PM

Yeah

I think flens left out Ripost (5)

No...All Power Points are gone

Flens just a question: Why don't you swap Blunt 13 and Slash 15 to have the Pierce resistance passive and maybe MS(4) ?
