First Bar build

[VernonM]

This will be the first time I'm posting.
I'm just looking for a little feedback on a barb build I want to try out.
I see that you can use con mod for damage on dwarf so trying something different.
Tell me where I went wrong please.

[Soulfurnace]

Tell me where I went wrong please

No con mod to attack, just to damage.

Then just insert every con of a barbarian. :\

[psykopeta]

don't go pure, swap con with str, prolly swap race to horc too

and, u have really these pl and tomes? if so i expected from you to build something more self sufficient, if not you'll NEED a hire + a healer, y, both maybe will be able to keep u alive XDDDD

also i like more slayer than berserker (however i never swap my weapon to scroll/buff XDDD, but if i NEED IT i can swap to a heal scroll and use it with no fail, with berserker i would need dismissing rage, swapping weapon and well, 3 or 4 secs at end maybe i'm dead)

So with the tomes and past lives I've got, what type of build would you suggest?(I still want to get past life barb when I TR)
I've never done a multi class before. Can't seem to get them to work out

[Soulfurnace]

Just go a 10/8/2 barb/fighter/rogue, THF, spamming cleaves.

Rogue at 1/2, barb at 3 (run speed), then 10 fighter levels, then barb 'till cap.

Lots of feats, decent damage, self healing, evasion. (don't rage)

Or be weird and go barb/wizard/rogue for displacement and haste. :P

[QUOTE=Soulfurnace;5123360]Just go a 10/8/2 barb/fighter/rogue, THF, spamming cleaves.

Don't you need at least 12 lvls in a class to get the past life?

[SSFWEl]

I HATE to say this :

Answer is this:

a barb build I want to try out.

Answer is this:

Ok, I'll bite.

Now how do I fix It

[Soulfurnace]

Just go a 10/8/2 barb/fighter/rogue, THF, spamming cleaves.

Don't you need at least 12 lvls in a class to get the past life?

Nope. Just majority. (Hence why some people do 8/8/4 builds.)

Also, leave the [/quote] at the end if you're quoting someone. :P

[psykopeta]

Don't you need at least 12 lvls in a class to get the past life?

nope, in fact u can get a pl with 7 lvls in class

to qualify for a pl u just need to be it the 1st un number of lvls and/or the 1st in alphabetical order

so 7 barb 7 bard 6 whatever would give you barb pl

just look at what u want and aim for it :P

with 12 lvls u can get the core from occult slayer that grants slippery mind (kinda useful)

barb has good sinergy with bards and if you have a dreamspitter you can take 5 rogue and get the tier 5 of acrobat(only 1st core ofc) my 2nd barb life has 16% dodge with light armor which it's not specially bad, evade, slippery mind and never raged (my 1st life was 18 barb 2 fighter and sucks, the dps was a bit higher but no self healing isn't a good idea XD)

also with 6 clr lvls u can get aura+burst, which is an efficient self healing way w/o swapping weapon(yes, i prefer occult slayer to berserker, haven't looked at ravager yet, maybe next life XD)

there're lot of ways to get survivality, and the dps loss isn't that great(it depends mostly on feats and enhancements the dps u'll lose, unless u go berserker, for the 2nd and 4th core, which would make u need more healers to keep u alive XD)
