Barbarian

Recommended Character stats

Strength

Stack up your strength, more strength more damage you want to put all your points into strength after you have finished the other stats.

Dexterity

You want enough dex to be able to use your items and enough to give you 75% chance to block when u put curser over defense in character screen.

Vitality

Get it so that your life is around 2.5k with warcrys on.

Energy

Add 5-10 Points on Energy, no more than this, some people dont evan put points on energy.

Recommended Character Skills
 

Shout

Max this skill

Shout adds more defense than Ironskin

Battle Orders

Max this skill

Max this before shout

Battle Commands

Put one point in this skill

Use this warcry before doing your other crys so that they are one level higher

*Warcries are essential for Barbarian pvp*

A good idea for barbs, is to put  weapons that add to warcries (they can suck) or that adds to skills for your quick weapon. Before dueling, or before putting your crys on, switch to your quick weapon (the item that adds to skills or warcrys) than use your warcrys, than switch back to your other weapon. This will help your life, and defense a great deal, and can mean the difference between winning and losing a duel.

Masteries

 

Sword Mastery

Max This Skill

This Skill Should Be One Of The First Skills To Be Maxed
Iron Skin After Shout Start To Work On This, Get It Maxed Or Close To Maxed, If You Dont Plan On Leveling Past Level 85 Than Don't Max This. This Increases Your Defense A Great Deal, But Not As Much As Shout.
Natural Resist This Skill Isn't To Important To Max, But You Want To Put Atleast One Skill Point On This, If You Plan On Dueling Sorceress's Or Magic Using Characters, Get This To A High Level. This Is A Very Important Skill To Use For Resistance To Lightning And Other Elemental Damage's.
Increased Speed Put 3-5 Skill Points On This If You Don't Plan On Using Faster Run/Walk Charms. For Dueling Zons This Is A Skill You Want To Get Near To Max. These Are Wasted Skill Points If You Don't Plan On Dueling Zons, Or Hit & Run Type Characters.


Combat Skills

 

Whirl Wind Max This Skill, As Soon As Possible What most people dont know is no matter how much ias you have on your gear it wont effect ww's speed. Only the ias that is on the sword will effect how many hits u get off. Which is why a fast sword is best.
Berserk Put 1 Skill Point On This This Is Not Normally Used In Duels, But Used When Leveling To Kill Physicaly Imune Monsters
Leap Attack Put 1 Skill On This To Enable The Ability To Get Whirl Wind This Skill Isn't Commonly Used In Duels
