Barbarian Common Stat Builds

Barb Stat Guide!

There are essentially only 2 effective barbarian builds before endgame (engame being level 100)

Tank: This is the traditional, and honestly the most effective barbarian build, both PvP and PvE wise. The high hp will give you more survivability in general, which is much more effective than a couple extra Str points, which is considered the "PvP" build, but since you have a 75% damage reduction in PvP, str is essentially useless.

heres how you wanna roll:

Stat Build:

STRENGTH: you want 3 strength per level. this is a must. every single level you add 3 strength, no more, no less.

DEXTERITY: MOST people go for a base of 49 for the most common endgame weapon. Calloused Lionheart Hatches(you can find these in the souther archosaur forges). At level 100, depending on how you play, with all of your endgame gear, you can choose to go with either 60 dexterity (recommended for the little extra crit and acc/evasion) or 80 (depends on your play style, this is more viable with higher refined gears, since you can afford to lose a little bit of health points). There is no real need to add a certain amount of dex per level. with my own barb, I decided to get my end game required dex by level 60. Its up to you.

Vitality: Your most important Stat Point as a tank barbarian. Every extra stat point you have you dump here. Eventually, once your dexterity is at where you want, you will be adding 2 vitality and 3 strength every level.

Now, you ask, whats so good about a tank build?

1)High HP 2)Extremely high spike damage with Perdition (one of our 2 spark ultimate skils) 3)High survivability in PvP and PvE 4)Solo AoEing becomes very easy.

Cons: There is non really. you are a barbarian , and will never hit as hard as any other class except with your Perdition, no matter how many points you pour into Strength, i consider this build the most effective.
