Barbarian Question=)
-
Hey all, ive been thinking about rolling a barbarian recently but was wondering a few things.. Firstly, i would like to RP him as a true barbarian (Cloth and medium armour only.) RP wise it makes alotta sense but gameplay wise would i be dying an awful lot because of this?=/
secondly: is there any special barbarian armour that is fairly easy to get that would balance the fact that im not taking a fighter lvl just for the heavy armour?=)
Many thanks in advance for all the help!=P

Due to additions to CoA pure barbarians are pretty damn sick. This might be a spoiler, but if not, you should know they have their own shop with lots of goods that will definitely help you survive.
-
barbarians are the strongest in cloth/medium armor. and if you multiclass you are making yourself weaker. and there is a barb shop able to find IG
-
Barbarians definitely do not need to use heavy armor. Medium armor is more then enough to get you through pretty much everything you come up against. There are also many barbarian specific items you can find around the server which will greatly increase your ability to survive.
The best thing to remember with a barbarian is that it shouldn't matter how much armor you have, because your best bet is to kill it quick before it hits you anyways.
-
There are some amazing items for pure barbarians that can be found in a shop somewhere in the module, as well as other easter eggs waiting to be found.
-
And pray you roll high on those HP.
I thank the the gods for my 135hp…

With all the impliments now a days, a pure barbarian will outclass any pure fighter in melle combat. Fighter's tend to do a little better against mass hordes or ranged opponants though.
-
Fighter are better against mobs, while barb tend to be better in one vs ones I've found.
-
Though, with the damage reduction only a barbarian can get now a days, they can probably even tank mobs better, depending on the damage ratios
-
Vrack would tank/solo Frosties with his 10 Constitution.
He defeated two pure fighters of same level, ending the fight at Injured.
Both Fighters had Improved Expertise and one of them had Taunt, believe it or not.
So yeah. Barbarians incredibly bad ass on CoA.
Hint, newbie: Commoners are worth talking to.

The posts on the Adventurer's Guildhall are worth reading too.
Ps: the posts on the whole server. :wink:

Actually, I believe the DM's are allready hard at work making "barbarian totems" for a lot of the other pure classes. They just take forever to script. >_>

Buy bloodstones.
-
Bloodstones are great.
-
Vrack still lost a fistfight to a halfling, even when he had power attack on.
-
