Is this an okay build?

[Bonulino]

I am preparing to TR my pure Barbarian into another pure Barbarian, For my first life, I used one of the predefined paths. I believe I can make a better character by planning my own path, and here is what I came up with. Is there anything grossly wrong with my choices? Suggestions for improvement are greatly appreciated.

I think that you might want to consider waiting to go Barb again until after they redo the class. Maybe pick up some other PLs.

If you're all fired up to do this, I definitely think you should take the "throw your weight around" dwarf enhancement and redo your build accordingly.

As far as pure barbs go, this one looks fine. However, are you sure you want to stick with pure barb? If you're doing it for lore / RPing reasons, that's fine, but the barb capstones are kinda weak (unless you build around OS (https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/436179-Dwarven-Occult-Slayer-Pure-Barbarian-Build#post5251878)). Most barbs multi-class a little (or a lot) to gain better DPS, extra feats, limited self-healing, etc.

[the_one_dwarfforged]

you wont gain the full bonus of your tomes at level 1. they increase at lvls 3 (+1) 7 (+2) 11 15 19 and 23. in case you were not aware, it doesnt look like this will affect your build except for skill points.

it looks like you have tactician but not stunning blow, unless you really use your trip a lot you might consider taking perfect two weapon fighting (+5% double strike with your mainhand weapon, may or may not be wai) or elusive target (5% chance to not be hit after all other avoidance defenses have been breached).

instead of great strength id take feats that add a lot more to your effectiveness than just +1 hit/dmg. something like quickdraw (faster weapon swaps, faster throwing speed with throwing weapons, no activation lag when using boosts) or improved sunder (no fail -4 fortitude debuff which stacks up to 5 times and -15% fortification on a successful attempt (this alone is more dps than +2 str)) at lvl 24, and epic damage reduction (+10 prr) at 27.

also have to agree that it would make a lot of sense to splash pretty much any combination of fighter, druid, or fvs/cleric to add a lot to your character while not losing the barbarian flavor.

tywa only applies con to dmg, not hit, and not tactics dcs, personally i wouldnt take it when it would cost ap and nullify the +str from frenzy and death frenzy. 1 step forward and 2 steps back imo.

Thank you to the folks who replied to my question. I will go back and do some tweaking to my build.
