Diehard for Barbarian?

[holyrecovery]

Hi. I am trying to build a custom Barbarian and have 2 feats left to choose. I was thinking possibly Diehard and Heavy Armor to make up for the lost AC from raging.

I was just wondering if it is recommended to have Diehard on a Barbarian since they have the effect while raging in Frenzy I?

Also, what about using Heavy Armor on a Barb? Bad idea?

Thanks.

As you say, you will already get diehard with frenzied bez, so not a good idea to take it as a feat.

Heavy armor prof is also not a good idea.

Must have barb feats are:
Power Attack
Toughness
THF lines (or TWF lines if you are a dual wielder)
Cleave
Improved Critical Slashing

Why Cleave? Don't you already have a spammable 360 degree attack from Supreme Cleave?

At least, I recently read it was spammable...

Cleave is a prereq for Berserker. There's a big in the Planner that allows you to take it without the feat-tax, though.

Oh, wow. Thanks then, both of you. Not getting Cleave would have proven disastrous.
