Hi to all…i want to know what is the best pve build around barbarian and what would be with the buff in the next patch (cleave overh 3 and cd reduction of all skill with increase chance to stun)
I m considering that if i want to do party i will need also peltasta c1…give me a help
Thx for all 
We are not getting the buffs from kToS. And yeah, if u still want to play swordman class go peltasta 1 or no one will invite you to a party.
It s funny to see that you not answer to my question…i want to know the best build for barbarian
And yes…we will get this buff, not now but we will get
If you are definitely taking circle 3 of Barb the general route is Seism 10, Cleave 15, Frenzy & Warcry 10. You may wish to change this up a bit depending on personal preference and what you will be taking end game, such as Dopple, Dragoon, Corsair, Fencer, etc. If you are not going C3, I suggest dropping Frenzy since you can’t stack the buff without the C3 attribute, maybe taking Helm Chopper instead as the damage is quite nice though it has a small AoE ratio. If you plan on PvPing too, it’s a great skill.
Check out some Barb builds here: http://www.tosbase.com/tools/skill-simulator/builds/?name=&class=Barbarian&order=Likes&search=search and make your own!
For PvE, yes your life will be way easier with Pelt, take it from a person who rerolled for it.
I wouldn’t count on it. iToS version seems to be completely different from kToS in terms of balancing.
i highly recommend against maxing Cleave. everything else, yeah absolutely. but you’d even then want at least 1 point into Helm Chopper. i would put points for sure into Pouncing. Now Pouncing might not look like much but its realistically your main bossing tool as a barb. Because Cleave requires the enemy to be stunned to be any good at damage, this is why lv 9 Cleave works in many cases. so unless they make bosses stunnable, Cleave will never be worth that heavy of an skill point investment.
i dont know if we’ll ever get Ktos Patches per se, but from what i seen Imcgames hasnt balanced much of anything in the months this game has been live. they also dont have a means to collect money at this time from its players, so im sure they are working on that.
but im sure they’ll work on balancing and it hopefully wotn be a bit by bit change that Barb gets in Ktos. they might just revamp the whole tree, add incenitive for us to get STR, give ATK and or STR scaling attacks, etc. the barb buffs are nice, dont get me wrong . but in the grand scheme of things they are quite underwhelming and we need those changes in addition to the ones i mentioned above. now not every attack needs Scaling, but every circle 3 class or rank 7 class should have them period. when i use Double Slash i want it to feel epic.

Yes but it s better going barb2 corsair 2 doppel 1 or focus mor on barb and soo barb 3 doppel 2?
I want the best pve between this two
Also i m building 3:1 (STR:CON) cause i read that dex is not needed as barb
barb 3 dopple 2 will give you more damage in this scenario.
also Dex is very much needed as a swordsman, especially when you’re not going with hoplite! id argue it is your most important stat. you get more crits, accuracy and evasion. STR doesnt offer enough by itself in terms of damage to outdo dex.
Ahhh I forgot about Pouncing, never went Circle 3 myself. I know Giant Swing is kinda… Eh. Very lack luster but cool as hell animation.
There is one stunnable boss, Demon Prison District 4 Haubek. Perhaps he isn’t counted as a boss for some reason, but I definitely stunned him several times.
Sooo how i destribuit my stats?
Str:Con:Dex at wich rating?
I’d say it really kind of depends on what you want your end game class to be. What’s your goal?
I want a solo easy time leveling and farm…also i would do dps but not die with 1 hit
Pouncing is a blessing. Lostac recommended me that skill in another thread. Buff yourself, get frenzy stacks, turn concentrate on, activate it, run around the boss (or monsters stacked), see the damage do the rest. It’s beautiful ; ;

Well, after lvl 200, you’re not gonna be able to solo much if you want to level efficiently. Just too hard and would take ages. Until 200 plus though, with Barb x3… You could do Fencer x2 or Dopple x2. Dopple does more damage, Fencer is pretty hefty too though, and I have no issues soloing as one, though I have a rank of Corsair instead of Barb 3. Fencer can also get some niiice evasion, and help tank, Dopple has a really nice buff though.
Edit: I remember specifically partying with a Barb x3 once at Dina’s Bee Farm who had leveled their Seism to 30. They were able to one shot and over kill everything, which overkill helps you level faster. They mostly soloed too until I came along to poke them to party with me every day. XD Barb 3 is really good.
i’m Pelt1>Barb3>Doppel>Dragoon on 265 rightnow
i think taking dragoon was the best choice i made, even tho it sound wierd at first.
I get lot benefits from using spears.
for barbarian i will say this :.
C3 or no barbarian at all.
frenzy = no maintain stack at C2 = cant use the skills.
warcry = 5 target at C2 = better C3 10 target = more dmg = awesome skill i love it.
barbarian CAN SOLO !.
unlike other class such hoplite and those.
barbarian have STUNS and ALOT.
i was grinding Evac site 248 map at that level of 230+ and could kill everything alone fast without taking damage while chaining stuns. also gae bulg(dragoon skill) = double dmg from skills.
anything more you want to ask i have all the cool skills maxed. also attributes are high.
if you ask me why i didn’t take doppel2, it’s simple. i dont like weapon restriction, i love more type of dmg and variaty.
doppel costume is ugly.
dragoon offer more utility and options.
most of all i enjoy it.
(P.S game is only grind from 230+ no quests at all dry maps and unimplented items and recipes).
STR/CON/DEX Ratio?
20chars
50~100 con
full STR.
for PVE no need DEX
maybe small amount of 20-30 but you can get that from equipment.
(most accuracy come from gloves, not dex.)
for crit rate you use GEMS.
reasons ?
doppel need to be hit to get the effect of deeds of valor(scale with atk mean scale% with STR).
generally swordsman will benefit more from CON and plate mastery which will scale by %.
STR give crit dmg, and high base dmg. profit.
if you wonder ?
Fencers and such classes will benefit more from DEX for example
becouse you will have things that scale with evasion. and no DoV.
why CON ?
50~100
while using plate mastery it is enough to reach into the 30k health. which will be enough for all game content.
