I'm back....

[Gareth27]

After being gone for over two years I decided to come back and see what changes happened while I was gone. To be honest I can't believe how much has changed- free to play (if you want), new areas/instances, ddo store (not a fan of), and much more. But on to my question (why else would I post in the Barb forum???) I have a 16 WF barb that has crit rage as an enhancement, I now notice this apparently has been removed from the game and replaced with something else. I'm wondering if this new line of enhancements is equal to or greater than the former crit rage line that I currently have.

First. Welcome back!

Second. Crit rage has been removed from the game, correct. It has been replaced by the Frenzied berserker (FB) prestige line. Which is by far a better choice for any barbarian.

FB1: Gives you an ability called Frenzy which gives your attacks Vicious (2d6 untyped damage on opponent 1d3 on self) and +2 STR.
FB2: Gives Supreme Cleave, which is like ordinary cleave (useless) but has a shorter cooldown but deals 10 damage on self when used.
FB3: Gives you the ability: Death Frenzy which is like a double Vicious (4d6 untyped damage on opponents and 1d3 (I think) on self) and +4 extra stacking STR and ups your critical multiplier by 1 on a 19-20.

You gain a total of 3 extra crit multipliers if you keep Death frenzy going and have the entire line which is really nice, much better than Critical rage.

Level cap is 20 now so hurry up and level .
