Breaking da rules!

[Hobgoblin]

This is a plan for my pallys current path. She is a drow twf rapier user. I have several gs weapons on her. As such, I have no real desire make scimis or kopeshes for her.

What I am looking for is a drow barbarian (yes i know totally gimp)

I am firm on the racial choice, (for this life)even though I know it is far, far from optiomal.

The feats look good - the hp seems a little iffy.

This is mainly to get me into the barbarian class, because i get bored with barbs around level 8-10 and stop playing them. At least i will have plenty of gear to twink this out. If I like it, or can stand it, I will then go horc twf barb just to see the difference. Reason tells me that the drow bonus to damage and easier access to twf will not make a difference, but I guess i will see in the end

So here goes - Please tear it apart!

Help me make this the best of a poor choice

Every race can play every class. It's the person behind the wheel that matters. The build looks solid, and as you said, the only thing iffy is the HP.

Only thing I'd do different, personally, is get that toughness ASAP. For feat leveling I'd take:

Power Attack
Toughness
Cleave
TWF
IC: P
ITWF
GTWF

Having so few hp early on would probably be a problem. I've noticed low level healers+low hp (for a barb) usually makes the game more difficult. Plus, you'd take advantage of PA better by using a two-hander while smacking things is very easy.

One could switch e.g. IC:P and TWF. In any case, I'd start to use TWF weapons only when you get ITWF. It may even offer more dps to delay IC:P until you've got ITWF.

Before that, using a Greataxe (Carnifex comes to my mind) will probably be your best bet.
