Fighter vs Barbarian question

Improved Trip has Combat Expertise as a prerequisite.

Thank you. I knew there was a reason why I didn't take that on my Fighter and I couldn't remember what it was.

No joke, the first time I made a fighter I never bothered to check prerequisites for anything and kept figuring it would light up eventually as I leveled. Wrong! Live and learn, and then change my homepage to ddowiki.

+1 rep for laying it out like a boss.

I skipped this whole debate. Because I've seen it too many times before. And whenever I do, everyone always misses the mark.

You go Barb.

You go pure, level 20 barb.

The logic is simple: Your biceps will not be frequently mistaken for overlarge slabs of ham if you do not go pure barb.

Do fighters have this? No. Monks? No. Rogues/Rouges/PewPewPewers/Pali/Whatever...? No. No no and no.

Forget stats, gear, epics, buffs, DR breakers, GS items, Epic gear, TOD sets, healers, hirelings, selfsufficency, wands, pots, UMD, OPP, OBJYN,PHD,C3PO,OU812 and all of that.
Forget spreadsheets, videos, numbers, twitching, attack speeds, crits and anything like that.

Forget it all. They are lies mixed in with untruths mixed in with disillusions mixed in with heresies mixed in with more untruths mixed in with fraudulence, mixed in with perjury mixed with slander, subterfuge, falsification, and fibs.

They try to get you away from the truth:

>>>>>Having your biceps be recognized for the overlarge slabs of ham, is the single most important thing to have, when considering DPS and the class you want to take<<<<<

This statement is, was, and always will be the gospel truth. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying to you and trying to deceive you. It simply cannot be overstated and overemphasized just how important this is for any melee in DDO.

It cannot.

Overlarge slabs of ham... it's the trump card in the melee debate.

Barb. All the way to 20.

It would be nice if the training dummy could simply measure a player's DPS.
