Elven Barbarian

[AlfarinIcebreaker]

I must say I am little lost with all the new changes to Barbarian class. So can someone recommend me a good Barbarian build for an Elf? Is it better now to go with Whirlwind Frenzy or with regular Rage?

Also, I would like to plan the build with proposed changes to Evasion in mind.

The idea of the character is a gruff Wood Elf, isolationist who seeks to protect his home (very close to EDE Elf) and is in sync with the nature.

With that in mind, I'm not sure which PrC to pick, if any. Obviously Barbarian 20 is mandatory, so I can go either full 30 levels or 20/10 something - either Divine Champion or Anointed Knight comes to mind, but I'm not sure how AK would fit in.

Any takers?

Barbarian 20 / Dervish 10. It can really pull off some spectacular Rage/Dervish Dance moments.

Just make sure you build for mithral chain mail (6/4) or mithral breastplate (5/5), and you're set with the upcoming Evasion change. Though, with the 20%/15% resistances given when in armor, Evasion is really itself not a "game changer," but the unlocking of Expose Weakness is still the shizz-nizzle.

Unless...they're making EW not possible in medium/heavy armor!

There are currently no suggestions or plans to make Expose Weakness only work with light/no armor.
