TR to Barbarian

[SpearKicker]

I am looking foward TRing my ranger (past lifes paladin/monk/fighter) into a barbarian. Never played one, so I am kind of lost. Can someone point me to a good Barbarian build? Dont have to be full barbarian. I'd rather take survivability>DPS, because I use to solo a lot.

Thanks in advace!

I'm guessing this is just to run up to 20 and then TR again? Or is this being played at cap?

Yes. Just want the benefits from past life. I can wait in lvl 20 for a while if I like playing him, but usually I dont stay for long on 20. Anyway, dont intend to get equipment specifically for barb, cause I will end up as a monk.

Bout all you need to know on barbs

Thanks for this link! Will take a look at it as soon as I am out of work.

You need to provide some details on what you want from your build. Did you want evasion, TWF, THF, Heavy Armor, trap skills and things of this nature? What races do you have access to? What gear do you have that you will bring with you to use as a barb?

I love to play with more survivable characters, so if I can get nice reflex with a good build, than yes to evasion! Trap skills would be nice to, since I solo a lot. Anyway, this are not necessary for me, just nice, so if there is a nice build that can survive well without them thats cool for me. Maybe trying THF and Armor this life would be nice for a change, since I always plays monk splashes.

Have access to all races. For leveling I have Antique Greataxe, Carnifex, Leviks bracers, Tharnes googles, Madstone boots, tumbleweed, spectral gloves, rings, gloves and scimitars from the 5th aniversary for every lvl possible. Cant remember any other speccial equipment to use with barbs... Ah! Also docent of Quickening if I go WF. To use at cap I already have Epic Boots of Corrosion, Epic Envenomed Cloak, Epic Raven Sight, Epic Gloves of the Claw, Epic Gem. If WF, That Midsunder Docent (dont remember its name now) and a DT Docent with Rad guard. If fleshie, a DT outfit with heal amo 10%/20%/Earth guard.

Yes. Comprehensive, detailed, insightful. But have a bowl of salt nearby to get pinches from. Also, I found I disagreed with a few things in there, but given time I've changed my mind.

For evasion, traps, and self healing I would try something like this. It can be tweaked a little bit here and there depending on the TOD sets and GS gear you have. I assumed you have a toughness item and a greater false life item for HP.
