u have potentially a low ac due to 1. no monk splash, 2. low dex, 3. no armor, 4. barb rage. u really need a high sustainable hp or dr

Potentially - MASSIVE DPS

unfortunately - little low of survivability (no worse then all those other barbs)

think about throwing in 2 monk - would add some nice bonuses, but not necessary

all in all - would be great damage!!

There in lies the problem. Tempest barbs will not truelly shine until the cap is 20. It is still awesome DPS. You just have to play really smart or reconcile the fact that you will be a drain on resources. At 14/6, the raw damage may be enough to offset the defensive liabilities.

Solid build at 10/6, if you gear properly and play smart. May be a better build at 12 barb/4 ranger at 16. You at least get crit rage one. When the cap goes up, 17 and 18 are ranger levels(make sure you switch out ITWF and GTWF before hitting 18). At ranger 6(18 total), your class will grant you ITWF and you can select GTWF.

If you can live with the drawbacks, build it and know that you will not realy shine until the cap goes up. If you don't have the patience to sit at cap and wait, go with a ranger/monk.

Or drop 2 levels of rogue in there for evasion. 12/6/2 Barb/Rng/Rg (end game). Up to you.
