Barbarian max HP build

[Verdant_Force]

Hi folks, I've recently made a Dwarven Barbarian and was looking for some feedback. Ultimately, my goal is to attain the maximum HP possible. I DO have a level 15 Paladin that I can use to either farm or buy the gear I need. However, I only play on average 2 hours per day (and I rarely play weekends), so understandably this may take me a while.

I'm just looking for some comments, ideas, etc. about if this build is an asset. Is a maximum HP Barbarian a valuable member to an endgame party? Is it possible to mix in something else AND have maximum HP?

Keep in mind that I don't play as much as most people, and I only have one high level character (currently un-guilded because I recently got back into DDO after a year off).

Thanks ahead of time for the comments!

P.S. The name is Ghorlax on the Sarlona server so feel free to send me mail/tells in game too!

No it would be gimped....giving up feats for toughness everytime drops your dps a ton, 600-685 hp is more than enough

What if I only take toughness once and focus on DPS for the other feats?

you only need 1 toughness as a barb, you can get another through the Minos Legen helm, which also has heavy fort.

You'll also want Power Attack and Improved Critical.

Yup. Just like almost every barbarian.

STR and CON, mebbe a lil WIS...but thats really all you need.

Dont give up feats/enhancements to make a walking blob of HP's.

But if no one does it then no one can achieve the path to becoming a gelatinous cube.

dex! Don't forget some dex!

Nah, someone done it...I think it was on Khyber...had like a 12 STR while triple raged and 40,000 HP's.

Couldnt hit the broad side of a barn.

So to sum it all up before I log on tonight and put it all in motion...

Attain max hp by taking feats/enhancement/items that boost hp

AND DON'T FORGET...
-Power Attack
-Improved Critical
-Feats/Enhancements/Items to raise STR and CON, but don't completely neglect DEX or WIS
-the jelly to complete the transformation to a gelatinous cube


Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments. Don't let them stop there - if you have something to add, please, my ears are open to suggestions.

Don't need any toughness feats. Focus on your DPS, you will still have plenty of hitpoints.
