Editing Barbarian Builds and Tips (section)

===Which Skills to Learn===
In the beginning levels, there will be more than enough skill points to train all skills, but after that, it becomes so overwhelming that you cannot keep up. That is why it is best to focus on maximizing certain skills first before others. Try to learn all of the skills though. You will be able to max them all at Lv. 89+.
It's all a matter of preference and whether or not you do more PVPing or tanking.

Tiger mode is best for tanking due to the increased HP/physical defense, as well as many useful PVE/aggro skills.

*True Form - Personal choice whether to max or not. At max skill lv, you gain 30% movement speed & 20% max HP more, but lose 30% more attack than if you had not trained the skill. Note that if you took the Demon Path at lv 89, True Form's damage penalty will be taken out once you get the skill book.
*Flesh Ream and Roar (aka Talk is cheap) should be maxed ASAP. Those are your 2 most useful skills in PVE parties. The higher it is, the easier it is to maintain aggro.
*Alacrity of the Beast is very useful to cancel the mob's skills. Train this whenever you have extra Spirit to spend. More damage from this skill will help maintain aggro, and the shorter cooldown = more times to spam it. Lv.7 is a good time to stop because it's cooldown time can help tell you when to cancel a mob's casting.
*ShapeShifting Intensify - try to max this as well. More defense = better tank
*After focusing on the skills above, work on Frighten and Sunder next. The rest, you can leave at lv 1 until you have more Spirit/Coins to spare.


The Humanoid skills are mainly PVP-based, with a few stun and AoE skills as well as buffs.

*Your 1st priority is to max Beast King's Inspiration, Strength of the Titans, Axe & Hammer Mastery, and Blood Bath first. Then focus on the attack skills.
*Beastial Onslaught, Mighty Swing and Penetrate Armor are your 3 best single-target attack skills.
*Save the rest of your Spirit points to max Slam if you plan on AoE training, or Armageddon for PVPing. The others aren't as useful in terms of damage.
