what you get from two levels of barbarian aren't worth what you give up at level 20 of fighter. the capstone is great.

10% double strike
1 feat
20 HP

vs

24 HP
5 con
4 str
1 PA
10% movement speed
35% sprint boost
Uncanny Dodge

HO

24 HP
5 con
6 str
1 PA
10% movement speed
35% sprint boost
Uncanny Dodge

Barb PL + HO

24 HP
9 con
10 str
1 PA
10% movement speed
35% sprint boost
Uncanny Dodge


The Fighter capstone gives more DPS but the Barb levels still give damage and also bring movement speed, HP and up to +5 tactics DC.

Ideally you would wait until you have the past life to make this build.

[Dreadmaster1993]

didn't know what might be best ,the barb gives u 2rages(+1enchant),a sprint boost,some natural dr
thats why postet(to know if it might be beter)
but y bayby i'l beter go for a pure wf fighter with might top more dmg

[ddobard1]

It's feasible, you give up the Fighter capstone and a feat, for 10% fast movement, rage, Uncanny Dodge, 4 HP, DR 1/-, and the skill Listen plus several skill points.

[Noctus]

So not worth it.


"10% Doublestrike" is much, much better than "slightly faster movement, one point better PA and a short Rage clicky"

[Noctus]

The Fighter capstone gives more DPS but the Barb levels still give damage and also bring movement speed, HP and up to +5 tactics DC.

This tradeoff only is okayish as long as the rage is active. Once it runs out, and it will be off much more time that it will be active, the tradeoff is laughably bad.

This tradeoff only is okayish as long as the rage is active. Once it runs out, and it will be off much more time that it will be active, the tradeoff is laughably bad.

Without the past life feats your only looking at ~5 minutes per shrine but with the feat being bugged at the moment it will last for a lot longer.

However the movement speed, PA, Barb Con I still stays during that time.

Going HO will not make you immune to rage wearing off and poses a problem for this type of build.

I am personally a fan of the 18brb/2ftr build.
I wouldn't think splashing two levels of barb is going to gain you much. Go pure, get the capstone.
If you wanna be truly bad@$$ 18brb/2ftr
