Stats / Skills for Highlander - Barbarian

Could anyone tell me which stats should i get for a Highlander?

I mean how much STR / CON / DEX ratio should i have.

Also which are the best skills for this class?

well highlander has an attribute that increases the damage of criticals by quite a lot and you can also start using 2 hand swords soon.

On the beta i only tried the highlander until lv 33 and i think i had 40 str 20 dex and im not sure if i spent a point or two in con… but i wasnt sure if this was good or not.

hold on im at work and doing this will take a bit to explain, i edited my post because i realised a few things about what you were asking.

the crit damage increases , not the crit rate…

Thats not highlander thats barbrian that increases the critical, and if you are going barb, taking highlander is practically useless. highlander is a PvP oriented class.

This i’ll put it like this, if you want to go barb or even highlander you have to know why. Your 6 rank class depends on it. And the skills you get prior to the 6 rank class is determined by its previous ranks. It would help if i knew which 6 rank class you were going then i could give you a more definite answer.

is the Two-Hand Sword Mastery atribute… that atribute increases the crit damage… . The highlnder is a good moober . Only as corsair he is good to the PVP

If you want a binary answer 200 str / 100 Dex

I do not, and I repeat, I DO NOT, encourage you to go highlander, and instead go swordsman 2, as it would make for a much more powerful barbarian, but if you insist, on being a highlander theres your build, although highlander would allow you to get the sword mastery.

well i had a lv 33 highlander on this beta ( didnt have time to get him higher lv ) and when i leveled the highlander atribute ( or passive whatever its called ) from the highlander NPC, the skill was increasing my critical damage , and not the rate.

With that skill passive at lv 3 and 40 str, i was getting +12 Critical Attack ( from my base 40 to 52)

Also i kinda liked that i could start using two hand swords as soon as i picked highlander.
