As I understand Savagery splits your Stab attack (Stab basic attack and Stab skills?) into two attacks (same damage, 2 attacks?). So what is Savagery used for other then going Cataphract? Frenzy only works with basic attacks (right?) so you can’t use Thrust in combination with Savagery to get Frenzy stacks faster. With Repeated Slash atribute removed there is no point in taking Savagery if you arn’t going Cata (other then marginal critical chance with one of Savagery’s atribute), is there?

Savagery can also be used for Corsair with its sub weapon being the dagger. The dagger is a Stab weapon as every attack it does is a stab attack so in one attack motion with corsairs buff, it would be 3 attacks instead of 2 
If you get the attribute, it becomes better but you don’t NEED it.
Corsair is the only other class that I can think of that would use Savagery without the attribute. However why would you ever not get the attribute? Broadens the spectrum of builds you can make because it increases the amount of hits you do.
You can build for a Doppelsoldner entirely by going Swordsman C1 or 2 or Highlander > Barbarian C3 > Doppelsoldner.
You could build for a Cataphract as you’ve said by going Swordsman C2 > Barbarian C1 > Cataphract C3.
You could build for a really different Rodelero by going Swordsman C1 > Peltasta C1 > Barbarian C1 > Rodelero C3.
You could build for a Corsair again like I stated previously by going Swordsman C2 > Barbarian C2 > Corsair C2.
All of those builds work well with the attributed savagery because it just increases DPS by a ton. If not, you’re basically stuck with Corsair and Cataphract (and Doppelsoldner if you wanna get a SUPER Punish but that’d be the only skill that you use Savagery for).
Wait, didn’t they remove Repeated Slash atribute in kCBT(3?)? I read it somewhere and got really confused.

Did they? Well if they did, then Barbarian will really be only for Cataphracts and Corsairs then 
That actually really sucks.
I could be mistaken, I need a verification for this ^^
I can not find anything in any patch notes about Repeated Slash being removed. However, @Flash confirmed that the attribute is currently not accessible.
Since there was nothing in the patch notes, I assume it is a bug.
Even if they didn’t remove it, you wouldn’t have been able to take Corsair with the attribute since the attribute is only C3 Barbarian. As for the skill itself, I’m not sure if it splits your damage or just makes you attack twice for full damage.
Well I Corsair still would work but it’d be less effective than the others because of only double hitting with the dagger And man, they really limited Savagery to a few classes.
If only you could go Hoplite with the Barb and use a 1H spear + dagger + savagery. That would totally own.

[/quote]There was an Attribute for Psychokino’s Swap that made it work for allies instead of enemies, but it was removed a few days after the CBT began.
I don’t remember for it to be on patch notes either. :c
I have never seen that attribute before, but that is kind of odd. It makes me wonder if IMC has a bunch of other attributes already developed that they are trying to keep hidden for some reason.
…Or perhaps that there are some attributes that are still being developed, and they forgot to remove those before CBT.
And there’s the Step video of Corsair Barbarian being the other class other than Cataphract played by Step.
