    Default max str build for Barb?

    Hi all, I've a vet at building different style barbs, i've got the bowbarian, twf, thf, etc.

    What I was wondering was what Is the max str build currently with update 6?

    I'm not talking about ddo pots,yugo pots, or bull's might pots that you have to buy or farm for. Just looking for a straight up - 18 starting str, +3 tome,rage spell, rage, raid gear etc. I'm looking for a realistic standing str. +4 tomes aren't common enough that every barb would potentially have eaten one.

    So far my barb (level 17 WF, THF) is sitting at 56 str. that's

    18 base
    +2 tome
    +6 item
    +2 rage pot
    +2 frenzy
    +10 rage
    +4 double madstone
    +8 gloves of the titan
    +4 level

    what am I missing? encrusted jewel, death frenzy, captone etc.

    Capstone Barbarian might +2 str
    Encrusted Set +2 str
    lvl20 barb +2 str to rage = +12 rage
    Double frenzy +6 str
    lvl20 ability point +1 str

    There are probably more..but those are at lvl20 and if you got the set.

    Titans grip is only +6.

    Try the search function, it helps when getting an answer for questions that have been asked many times.

    What consumer said. There is a max str thread around showing the max is mid 90's. I have a SS on my Barb on my Barbarian Pride thread with mine at 76 STR and there was a lot I was missing, so I know at least 90 is possible.

    Sorry my friend, but it's not - look again.



    And I hate when people assume that OP has not made adequate use of the search function. Just so you know, I put in the key words "maximum" and "strength" into the search query. 12 results found - none pertaining to maximum strength.

    If I could find the answers I was looking for on ddo wiki or the forums, why on earth do you think I would post an inquiry?

    did you ever consider that the item is bugged and not the description?
    maybe they will correct it to +8, as i'm sure that's how it was intended..

    anyways enough of the banter about the gloves,

    i'm interested in staying on topic - please and thank you.

    google is not my friend.

    the first link that pops up when you type max str ddo Is junk

    guys are talking about using rams might from TR from Barb-Ranger-Barb, which is not true, they also depend on special potions and other items that don't stack.

    I was looking for a more accurate non-ddo-store-and-alchemical-induced strength.

    Nope, why would I ever considered that? I thought you were interested about actuall game info, not a hypothetical one. My bad, it won't happen again.

    Wll, in that thread there are all the calcs. If you don't want to use some of them (yugo pots, store pots, rams might from ranger TR and so on) just subtract that from the total...

    not to derail but how do you get ram's might as a barbarian? mine tr'd from ranger and the past-life feat is barkskin... unless you are talking about a ranger splash in which case you lose the 2 str capstone and break even. if im missing something please enlighten me

    A quick look at this thread's title may explain why

    Developers have stated that +8 is incorrect, the actual value is +6. The description will be updated in U7.

    If you take out Completionist, human, epic, store pot, alchemical pot, past life (barb) and scourge choker, you get 80 STR max.
