I am looking to RCR to a dragon warrior, since my battlerager is having trouble with stuff like mirror image/concealment, and I have a couple questions. I am thinking that the strong dragon breath will hopefully hit through all the annoying illusion spells and make quick work of NPC casters.
However, I also realized that a single energy immunity spell can completely shut down a dragon warrior. Are NPC casters smart enough to use that against me? Do I absolutely need to work breach scroll usage into my build? (I saw energy immunity was added to the breach list thankfully).
Anyway I'm thinking of going 20 Barbarian 10 Dragon Warrior since standard rage will add to dragon breath DC. Has anyone tried this and is it actually good? Is there a better general direction I should explore?

It should do fine really, and no NPC casters are dumb they won't cast the proper energy immunity.

Blindfight and haste would also help any build against NPC's with concealment + mirrors. Blindfight makes you hit twice as much against concealment (you get to reroll the chance if you miss on the first one) while Haste for the extra APR allows a melee fighter to slice through images fairly quickly.
That said, B20/DW10 with standard rage sounds like a relatively unique and fun build with a lot of synergy. Enjoy!

Oh believe me, I am using blind fight amd haste! But the illusions allow them time for stuff like interposing hand and other protections so I have to use a lesser restore pot, then I start getting blasted and have to use so much healing. It just becomes an arduous, expensive affair. Dragon breath to the face sounds better! But I will miss battlerager if I do this.chad878262 wrote:Blindfight and haste would also help any build against NPC's with concealment + mirrors.

If you are in areas with that much spells being cast you aught to invest in that SR32 cloak or at a minimum purchase an amulet of the witch (SR28)... That would solve a lot of issues for you.
