    Barbarians are best if left pure. Mighty rage and the capstone add +4 strength. Your dex and int won't be high enough without sacrificing con and str.

    Someone else in your party should have planned on rogue levels. Wizards make a better choice to multiclass rogue because they have high int. They lose the capstone, but they gain a useful evasion with insightful reflexes. There are a few other good combinations that work well for multiclassing rogue, but none with very high barbarian levels.

    Rogues become less important after level 12 or so, when you get into Gianthold, Vale, and end-game raids. Gianthold has two quests with traps. One quest can be skipped. The other can be done by any evasion character. Vale doesn't have any quests with party-threatening traps, as long as your party doesn't walk into them. The traps are fairly obvious and easy to walk around or wait for them to turn off. End-game raiding has fewer traps and you can depend on other rogues to take care of them.

    Worst of all for a Rogue/Barb mix is that you can not disable traps while Raged, and a proper barbarian is always raged. So that means dismissing your rage every time a traps is ahead, or not raging to begin with... either way your are sacrificing more than is worth. But, if you insist on Ro/Barb than you will do it regardless of my advice. And if that's so you may as well have the best chance you can- so here's a build


    This build REQUIRES a +2 Dex tome and +2 INT tome at level 7. about 2 million gold investment, not too bad at all.

    TWF because you are going to have dex. You are going to have dex because you have evasion and may as well have good reflex. 18 Barb because Frenzy3 is a must-have or you may as well not be barb at all. 2 Rogue because you said you wanted to do traps, and because you wont be pure you may as well have evasion. Dwarf because if you are TWF you may as well use one of the best 1hand weapons in the game (dwarf axes) and not have to use a feat on it. And dwarf spell resists goes nicely with evasion.

    Keep in mind, i do not recommend the play style, but if you insist on it- i think this is your best bet.

    Roll a Ranger/Rogue hybrid? Search for 'exploiter' build.

    Rogue *is* a melee class. It's primary hard hitting warrior.

    The way things are in DDO any class can be made 'melee'. Some better the others, but all can be good melee fighters.

    Those traps and lock are 'secondary' job. More like a hobby. Anyone with a small splash of rogue can do it. But because traps/locks need lots of skill point, its the easiest for Rogue, Ranger/Rogue, Bard/Rogue or Wizard/Rogue.

    I'd made a hard hitting melee oriented Rogue or Ranger/Rogue.

    I'm playing a barb/rog now and having a blast. I'm heading toward barb 14/ rog 5/ fighter 1 (I wanted ITHF at level 7). Rogue 1, followed by 5 levels of barb, 1 level of figheter, 1 level of barb, rogue at 9, then barb at 10 to get where I am now.

    I use THF, kept dex relatively low so I could start with a 14 int to have enough skill points to keep all the needed rogue skills high - I also went human for the extra skill point.

    It's a fun character that is by no means an optimized barb build, but more than holds his own in combat and can do everything you'd expect a rogue to do. I'd link the build, but I didn't use one of those fancy character builder utilities and the excel sheet I originally put together is now cluttered with notes and changes that I've made.

    Basically, you max UMD at each level and then focus on spot, search, OL, and DD and sprinkle the rogue levels in as needed to max those skills. I also take intimidate in case I need to tank at all. It's a pretty versatile and fun mix, can solo well, and always contributes something based on what the group needs most.

    PM me if you'd like more detail.

    Eulogy098's build is good stick with that. I would change the build to a WF Khopesh user but its all a matter of preference.

    Since you didn't mention build pts etc. here are two human rogue 2 / barb 18 builds: one's a 28-pt THF w/out tomes; the other is a 32-pt TWF who needs a +2 DEX tome. [Skills & enhs are identical, so I only showed stats & feats on the latter.] Both have max ranks of Disable, Search, and UMD; and 11 ranks of Open Lock. Should be enough to handle any trap or lock with the right equipment & buffs. Only downside is Spot score sucks, unfortunately.

    If you don't care about Evasion, consider rogue 1 / ftr 1 / barb 18 for the extra feat; use it to grab ITHF/ITWF sooner. EDIT: dwarf or WF are also options; 1 less feat and need INT 14 to keep the same skill levels, but higher CON and DPS.

    Has full trapskills and half assed ol (so far didn't come across a lock i couldn't pick).
    Full HV to get a +5 skills boost.
    Very nice trap saves.
    Haste boost to make up for a part of the lost strength.

    Imo barbarian rogue is quite a decent combination, because you get the same trap saves that rogues get and you only loose a small amount of strength for it which barbs have plenty of.

    Actually i think those two lost levels are less detrimental to your barb performance then the ones a wizard looses.

    Default i got impatient

    wow, thanks. i wish i didnt get impatient and actually make my own build. so, here it is, i made it so he could be able to find and get rid of the traps, but can also do more than hold his own in combat. admittedly, the rage will be a problem, so feel to critique. tell me where i can improve it. also, no more tome mentioning, pls

    My view is you're spreading yourself too thin. If you really want that many skills, a rogue-splashed ranger would do better. Otherwise, drop Hide, Listen, and MS so you can focus your skill pts on Search, Disable, and UMD, with leftovers into Spot & OL. I also think INT 16 is overkill; rogue skills aren't important enough to gimp the rest of your stats, IMHO.
