Well. BiPolar was taken so I went with Swiftrage Bloodfury. Ooooo SOOooo Barbarianish
I played her for the first time last night and a few things became apparent to me.
1) She mows through the starting area like a hot knife through butter.
2) Rest shrines hardly move my HP bar at all.
So far I solo'd every starter quest and outside area ( before I went into Stormreach ) up to hard. The only real issues were the shaman who would fear? ( I'm not sure ) me so I wouldn't attack for a while. Other than that it was pretty straight forward. I used the rage on the red text mobs. Well I did until I was ambushed in the butchers path when I did the storm reach quests. That leads me to a question. When I lit off Rage, I had been attacking the horde in front of me and my +1 Great Sword was doing an FA attack, but after rage was on it appeared to be a 360 attack? The lil freaks were dropping all around me. Is that just an illusion or does it expand my attack arch?
I gotta say, the Barb forums rock. Excellent advice and very kind people. I liked the server I was on last night too, Kyber? Got into a discussion about old school D&D. I guess there are a few old farts like me playing on Kyber
EDIT: Was bored here at work ( Shhhhhh !!!! ) and tweeked my build a bit more based on the advice given after the 2nd attempt. This one is the hell or high water build. No more changes till I find something I dislike or find I lack. I decided to maximize my incoming healing as I'm a paper tiger any way, anything I can do to lessen the burden on the healers will go a long way if I'm having aggro managing issues ( which happens to the best of us from time to time ) On sound advice I didn't delve as deep into the stats by way of enhancements due to diminishing returns ( although I did take greater human adaptability: Con because I like round numbers )
Thanks again for being a cool bunch.
