Why isn't your Barbarian a Half Orc?

[Sweyn]

Because I don't want it to be a half orc.

I am getting tired of people constantly thinking HO is the only race for a melee toon and asking why I TR'd into a WF barb instead of a HO barb. While HO barbs do have more dps, they are not the only race for a melee. Other races have advantages that HO can't get.

This.

Discussion over at post #3.

Halflings are the master race afterall.

I have a WF Barb and I can tell how happy and elated I am whenever I get that "IMMUNE" pop out of my head - especially in the heat of the battle!

Well thats not gonna happen in H-Orc!

But again , I think WF need more immunities and resists for the amount we are paying! Not good enough ;p

Thnx

Halflings taste like chicken.

When I saw the thread topic I thought you were going to tell me I had to TR my dorf barb.

[NeutronStar]

...I had to TR my dorf barb.

Yes

It would still be pretty bad. H Orc won't help the underlying issues.

[muffinlad]

OTOH, people ask my Drow Barbarian why I am not a half orc all the time.

"Because, I am crazy....and I wanted to have one person who played a Drow Barbarian. Does it help that he thinks he is a HOrc?"

dorf barb.

I love my dorf barb. I made him just to have some fun with the Hellstroke, but now that he's getting up in levels, I just like seeing big numbers without having to burn a blue bar for 'em.

[Battlehawke]

If you want pure DPS from a Barbarian, then 1/2 Orc might be the way to go, however that is always debatable. I'm excited and can't wait for the next update when the 1/2 Elf Dillies go up to level 10. I just built a 18 STR 1/2 Elf w/ Cleric Dillie. So at the appropriate level he will have no fail on res and heal scrolls....(= Cleric lvl 10) and won't have to ever beg for heals, unless of course he is raged....

Anyways... I can't wait...

[halls]

haha, wut?!

[articwarrior]

yea

same goes to all the people saying that THF feat line is superior for a THF build. NO! IT IS NOT!

[patang01]

I think horc monks are the most bad@ss and Im TRing my horc fighter into a horc ranger next. Why not? Sounds like fun.

[Mithran]

For me, it's primarily an issue of weapon choice. If I'm going toward all-out dps, GTWF Khopesh seemed the way to go and if you're doing that (even on a 36-point HOrc), it's hard to fit the Feats in for Khopesh Mastery and Frenzied Berzerker. For my Barbarian (Dwarf), going Dwarven Axes seemed a no-brainer.
