Help my build

[Cowdenicus]

I have a level 15 Barbarian currently. I was waiting for Superior Two weapon fighting to come out for him but I ma not sure if that is going to happen now. I had a place holer feat (Khopesh) at level 15 hoping STWF would be in the game.

Dont know what I should do now. Advice would be greatly appreciated.

[Vivanto]

Not gonna happen, but keep khopesh, and use em as your main weapon style ^^

Also even if stwf would ever come out, you'll need a 19 base dex, so until you get a +3 tome, you wouldn't be able to take it. But as stated, we won't get it. Only rangers get stwf if going for tempest 3 in mod 9.

Should they reintroduce it as selectable feat, you can always just respec.

I really prefer picks to khopeshes...

especially with the 17-20 x4 damage.

[Shade]

Reroll.

18 base strength. 16 is too low.
15 base dex is plenty, +2 tome for GTWF. Heck even 14/13 if your willing to wait on a +3/4 dex tome.

[VKhaun]

This.
Chaotic neutral does nothing for you.
Dex is too high.

I am not so sure 1 point of damage and +1 to hit is worth rerolling for??? and what happens if later they do add STWF?

STWF won't be available for barbarians, only rangers, according to Shade.

+1 damage per swing that stacks with everything.
Power attack enhancements are only +1 each, you snapped up all of those.
How many times do you swing at an enemy? A portal? Adds up quick.

[Aranticus]

1 point is everything. more damage = less time to take down a mob = less resources used. with end content mobs having a huge hp pool, every little bit helps. a bard with a +4/5 IC will never never need an extra charm stone in hound normal. a bard with a +3 song may need a 5th stone and possibly lead to raid failure

[boldarblood]

If you have free spots for new characters, it would be worthwhile to roll up a new barb and have fun with him. Then you can turn this character into a shroud only toon for ingredients, deleting later when you need another slot. Don't need to spend a lot of time/effort getting him set with shroud items / DT armor / etc.

But if you are out of slots, I myself would be tempted to start a new barb instead. If you are going to be putting the work into getting the barb all the raid/crafting gear it's always good to make sure the stats are done right.

That being said, the character is playable.

[Noctus]

The character is playable, no need to reroll.

Yes he can benefit from rerolling, but not so much that i´d recommend it for anybody except those people who cap a character in 2 weeks of realtime. And you´d need at least one +2 tome to really benefit from it.

All the basics that make up a good Barbarian are there. Only IC:Piercing should be swapped to IC:Slashing. A more casual player should think twice about rerolling a build without fundamental design flaws.

There is a difference between "can be made better through rerolling" and "messed up build which will perfrom poorly". Both are viable reasons to reroll, but the 1st reason might not hold a good enough gain/investment ratio to be really worth it in many cases for the more casual players.

If he plans to add shroud items, raid items, DT Armor, invest tomes, etc. Then this is bad advice given. If you are going to grind all the above gear, then reroll IS the best option.

I decided to keep my current barbarian basically as is. I also decided to create a warforged 2 handed fighting barbarian.
