Barbarian build for my come back(looking for Feedback)

[WhatsInTheBox]

Ok so this is the best I have come up with following the stipulations of .... It has to be a human and not having a bunch of negative stats... I'm not sure if greater resiliency was ever successfully changed to being 3 DR or not ... I'm also wondering about switching luck of heroes for powerful charge for some added burst dmg in the beginning of a fight but I dunno....

Anyhow here it is! Lemme know if you guys think of anything better

Unfortunately greater resiliency could not be changed no.

[WhatsInTheBox]

ah well with that being the case.... have we put any thoughts into just increasing barbarian DR by a few points via giving it slightly accelerated growth?

If not well... Are we thinking northlander hewing or extra rage is the better option....

[WhatsInTheBox]

Come on folks! Lemme have it I'm waiting to hear some feedback on the build/what I could do better before I come back

Alright, couple of things :

No extend rage feats, that's a big deal.

Not enough damage, get PA and/or One Hander

Epic armor optimization does not exist on BG, besides it's not really necessary here. Better to end up on even STR, that way you can use a +2 item and still enjoy the maximum +12 while raging (+12 is the hard cap).

On the other hand it has high AC, high DR, high saves and high HP so it will survive no problem.

I would drop GHO, knockdown and improved crit to get extend rage feats. Also I would delay the last 3 divine champion levels to get evasion quicker.

[WhatsInTheBox]

Drop GHO I dunno I already felt short on AC due to not cresting 60... thank you though for the knowledge about Epic heavy armor opt. I planned on using a longsword and tower shield when I need AC and then switching to a greatsword for big dmg if thats what you meant by a one hander?

I also think I'll be getting extra rage at level 17 instead of greater resiliency since that couldn't be fixed since extra rage = 34 more rounds of rage with a 3 con item vs extend rage with 6 rages being 30 more rounds of rage (( 6 rage uses x 5 rounds = 30 ))

If I get northlander hewing is PA really necessary?

[7threalm]

dont do northlander hewing the feat is pretty useless and regret taking it, its okay when you have only 1 attack lol/

That feat should just be removed or changed or increaded to 3 or 4 attacks per round.

[aaron22]

if you want KD get it earlier so its more useful. then follow it with IKD.

[WhatsInTheBox]

Can't take IKD as I don't have enough stat points to invest into IKD to meet the pre-reqs and I'd have 4 attacks while using Whirlwind frenzy with northlander hewing

[7threalm]

if you have decent con, the extend feats are not required,

there is an item with extra rage/extend rage 1 for sale-

barbarian are burst fighters, and it sucks until they get tireless rage.

I would recommend 20 barb/5 frenized as a base, but if want more classes leveling is going to be rough, I didn't get epic rage til 30, and Expose weakness at 28

[7threalm]

heres a good barbarian

you have 1 extra normal feat, epic prowress at 28, epic rage at 30

and 30 skill points

i would put them in spellcraft for the saves

and the amulet can be bought in bg palace district. has extend rage/ extra rage

[WhatsInTheBox]

Thank you for the try 7threalm but I'm not willing to have that many negative stats hence why I have int and cha at 10.

[7threalm]

able learning makes up for it, your dumb but you try hard lol

but as far as power/build that one would be solid

-1 wisdom = -1 save, so your alright
charisma=what does a barbarian need that for

but if its for rp then good luck

i player battle 20 barb/5 frenzed/5 rager

and kill most of the bosses solo

[WhatsInTheBox]

I do like to power build but I also need to play my stats and being both ugly and an utter (hero) as you'd have to be with an 8 charisma wasn't my bag. Nor was being unable to speak common properly.

[7threalm]

well you did post a knight barbarian, which is kinda at odds rp wise

or you could make it an assimar for the stats,
