I've been wanting to play a Druid / Barbarian multi-class for sometime, leveraging all the non-Rage based abilities that a Barbarian can bring to the table alongside a caster-ish 15 Druid main class to leverage Earthquakes.
A long time ago, in a forum far, far away I came up with this build:
"The Mountain that Strides"
Its really quite simple - you Earthquake everything, you Adrenaline/Overwhelming Force everything else still standing and then spam, spam, spam Cleave's until everything is dead from your Mass AOE Melee Death.
Mortal Fear optional.
Side Note 1: No, you don't rage. You instead keep your Barbarian abilities constantly powered with a steady flow of self-healing Regenerate goodness.

It was never meant to be a top-tier build, but it was supposed to be good fun for EH+ difficulty.
Obviously the DC calculations are waaaaaaaaaay out of date, wrong in a few spots, and the build needs an overhaul for Level 30, but I'm interested to hear suggestions and ideas on where to take this build in the current gaming climate....
