Hi Anti-Hero, best way to go with a barb? hmm *thinks*
Well it all depends on your playing style like with most builds. If you like to take out monsters one at a time but have huge defense yourself then the concentrate variant is a good choice. If you like a bit of crowd control then the whirlwind varaint is good. Last but not least if you like the idea of weilding two weapons then frenzy is a good one.
Anyhoo, the following are build ideas for the above variants.
Concentrare baba:
- 20 Concentrate
- 20 Battle Orders
- 20 Shout
- 20 Weapon Mastery, here you can max any mastery of your choice but I would say axe mastery for the concentrate baba would be the best choice because of their hugh damage output and the ability to craft blood weapons with berserker axes. (nice damage)
- 1 in pereq's
Rest into Bash for synergy purposes only.
Stats:
- Str, enough to wear gear
- Dex, enough for max block
- Vita, rest of points go here
- Energy, none
Whirlwind baba:
- 20 Whirlwind
- 20 Weapon Mastery, again you can max any mastery for a whirler but I would either max mace mastery to weild two handed mauls or sword mastery and go dual wielding whirler. But it is all upto the players playing style.
- 20 Battle Orders
- 20 Shout
- 1 in pereq's
Rest of skils points can go where ever you want.
Stats:
- Str, enough for gear or 187 if you want to go immortal king whirler.
- Dex, here you have a few options; either base if you want to go maul or immortal king whirler. Enough for weapons if you plan to weild two swords or sword and shield. If you plan to wield a shield then enough for max block. Basically, with a whirlwind barbarian you can whirlwind with any weapon setup.
- Vit, rest of points go here
- Energy, again none
Frenzy baba:
Iron build
- 20 Frenzy
- 20 Battle Orders
- 20 Shout
- 20 Sword Mastery
Singing build
- 20 Frenzy
- 20 Battle Orders
- 20 Sword Mastery
- 10 Double Swing
- 10 Taunt
- 10 War Cry
Max damage build
- 20 Frenzy
- 20 Battle orders
- 20 Taunt/Double Swing
- 20 Sword Mastery
- 10 Double Swing/Taunt
It's upto you which build you go for, first two builds are probably safer due to warcries but Max Damage variant could be interesting. Again it's all down to your playstyle.
Stats:
- Str, between 120 - 160, but again enough for equipment. (some of the more powerful swords have high str requirements)
- Dex, between 80 - 120, all depends on your equipment and +stats gear.
- Vit, rest of points go here
- Energy, like all baba builds none
Well, there's a quick run down on the different baba variants. Ofcourse there is the singer, berserker and throwing baba's but I don't realy know much about them and the berserker is very item dependant out of all the baba builds. Hope this helps you decide which baba you wish to make.
