Barb Build Reccomendation TWF WF

lol ill keep that in mind

I do play a pure 16 level WF barbarian! (THF)

I don't have good AC, no body feats but I do have the Docent of Defiance.
I also have a Fearsome docent for large group of mobs.
And a Greater Resist Docent of every type.
I switch as needed. For end-bosses, like Velah and the Pit Fiend, Defiance simply rocks with a DR 20.

I obviously use PA and all necessary chain of it.
I do have Madstone boots and double madstone, fully raged I can get my STR and CON to 44, so hitting stuff is a non-issue!
I also have a greataxes and greatswords of Greater Bane of almost all kinds (except halflings, I just think they are cute and make me laugh too much to bat around).

So you know I don't take any more damage than any other type of low AC barb.

To the clerics that say it's hard to heal WF I say this... If you can heal a dwarven barb for 600 hp and I get 70% that's still well over 400, plenty to keep me up. If you want to save SP, stop hitting WF with Neutralize Poison (extended). Also don't forget that UMD players and arcanes can hit you with reconstruction, so technically when you think about it, WF should be the less likely to go down!!! (UMD players and arcanes that carry Heal, should carry at the least a few reconstructions, I know I do). No other barb can claim to be healed/repaired by almost all other classes.

If you plan on making an effective barb, I say go for max damage, high DR, high crit range and damage, as a priority, the rest will fall into place.

Plan on using alot of pots and give repair wands and scrolls to any who will use them on you. (like all barbs should (cures in their cases if not WF)).

Beyond that enjoy the damage you will do!
I know I do when I hit over 200+ crit damage (yet I still cannot get my hands on a Bloodstone).

Peace!

I havent even really looked at DR enhancments or feats for barb. When I was making one barb i have posted ran into action point restrictions. Maxing out DR seems to pull away from overall dmg enahncement somewhere. If you maxed ur DR out which enhance did you pass up?

Well remember that barbarian DR and WF DR do not stack... So I only used the barb DR as this one progresses with your barb levels.
I currently am at DR 6/-, but I also use the Docent of Defiance on big end bosses or large groups of mobs like spiders, they hit often but not that hard... When the Defiance effect triggers I get a DR 20/- for 20 seconds, you'd be surprised how many mobs barely do over 20 damage, unless they crit (all you need to make sure they don't is a Heavy Fort item).

But you are right I concentrated on damage, if I take them down fast I still limit the amount of damage they do to me!!!

Just don't neglect DR especially if you are going the low AC route.
