Looking to build my first WF Barb

[Wizzly_Bear]

Str: 12
Dex: 18
Con: 12
Int: 16
Wis: 6
Cha: 12


Best starting starts for a WF barb

you could max out that int if you drop str down to 8 and con to 10. dont wanna gimp him.

[query]

recon is in fantasyland.

Shocking but true:

Some players do NOT get all stats +2 and +3 tomes.

Every piece of raid gear does NOT consecutively drop.

Yes it WAS funny what you posted!

And NO the barb's wis and int is too low to understand anything but this:

"blablabla [Ginger] blablabla [Ginger]"

(Actually his name is NOT Ginger but 10 prestige points and control of the board if anybody can name what strip that is taken from?)

No no NO! No splashing Wizard! Bad! Bad!

(Put points in UMD instead. With enough raid gear, you can self-cast Reconstruct fairly reliably.)

If you splash anything, it's either Ranger, Rogue or Fighter. None of this namby-pamby Wizard junk.

[query]

you forgot to lower Str to 8 and place into Cha!

Str: 12
Dex: 18
Con: 12
Int: 16
Wis: 6
Cha: 12

Edit: WT.....you know what?...I somehow had my post moved and just ninjaed myself?


Darn paradox machines...why I'm building a WF barb to SMASH them!

Power Attack. The Barb's mainstay (next to Rage).

Doo´h!

How could i forget that one?

[HeavenlyCloud]

This is my new barb just trying to give you some pointers.

Rawwwwr DOOOOM 2
16 Barbarian
Race: Warforged
Alignment: True Neutral


32 Point


Stats:
18 Str + 6 item + 4 level + 2 tome = 30 Str Unraged
10 Dex +6 item + 2 tome = 18 Dex (Enough for good reflex save)
17 Con + 6 item + 1 tome + 2 Enhancements = 26 Con
8 Int
9 Wis +6 Item + 1 Tome = 16 Wis
9 Cha +6 item + 1 Tome = 16 cha Enough if you want to intimidate

Feats:

• 1. Two Handed Fighting
• 3. Power Attack
• 6. Improved Two Handed Fighting
• 9. Improved Critical Slashing Later change for something else.
• 12. Greater Two Handed Fighting
• 15. Stunning Blow

[*]Enhancements:

Barbarian Damage Boost III
Barbarian Sprint Boost I
Barbarian Critical Rage II
Barbarian Extend Rage IV
Barbarian Extra Rage II
Barbarian Hardy Rage II
Barbarian Power Attack III
Barbarian Power Rage IV

Iirc, my barb started missing against bosses with PA 3, imo PA 6 would be a waste (except against trash mobs, though usually better to w/p or vorpal them).

Also, unless it's a personal preference, I would advise against listen. It's nearly worthless except for rp. You would be better off with balance imo.

Your barb is a gimp.

That is only a template, a character is a lot different when you play him so those enhancements aren't written in stone yet, and about listen i'm going with probably only 9-11 ranks then balance, who fails balance checks this days anyway .

personally I would work with power attack 8 until you start grabbing some of the end game gear. Madstone boots? make it PA 9 or ten if multiple boots. tumbleweed or always group with a bard? then bump it up to 11. running at -11 PA w/o a bard, madstone, rage pots, a gird, or competence bonus to hit can be rough. One of my barbs actually uses weapon focus in place of improved critical with his mineral weapon simply b/c he hasnt grabbed his boots yet

Building without a bunch of +2 tomes. If you have them, adjust accordingly.


Str. 18 +6 item +4 levels +2 favor tome = 30
Dex. 16 +1 tome +5 item = 22
Con. 16+6 item+5 enhancements+1 tome= 28
Int. 8
Wis. 6
Cha. 6

1.) TWF
3.) PA
6.) ITWF
9.) Imp. Crit (piercing or slashing depending on weapon choice)
12.) Oversized TWF, Toughness, or Exotic Weapon: khopesh
15.) GTWF

Check out the Carnifex build I posted a bit earlier. Enjoy! -D

[Tenacious]

18 - Str (16)
15 - Dex (8) Need a plus 2 tome.
17 - Con (8)
8 - Int
6 - Wis
6 - Cha

1. Two Handed Fighting
3. Power Attack
6. Improved Two Handed Fighting
9. Improved Critical Pierce
12. Greater Two Handed Fighting
15. Khopesh Prof

Ranks in Jump, tumble, ballance and spot/intimidate (with +2 int tome, 3 less ranks in Jump if you use the tome).

Obviously put everything into str through leveling.
(Planning for a 14/6 wf barb ranger would be very sick though.)

I assume you mean Two Weapon Fighting, not THF?

TAKE CONTROL OF THE BOARD AND COLLECT YOUR BONUS POINTS!

(BTW, the barbarian is complete and Swath of Red I think is a cool barbarian name even if he doesn't always get it at 8 int )
