Barbarian dual wield,more useful in pve...

[Deleted]

I dont do pvp after i reach a decent lvl but at the moment in pve im very satisfied with dual wield caused i can kill 4 enemyes of 2 or 3 lvl inferior of me and i dont die. With 2 handed weapon this never occurs me. So i need to question,in high lvls the dual wield is viable in pve??? Im thinking to make an hybrid feats between general,reaver and berserker.
Thats my feat skill tree: http://joharaoc.eu/feat?link=v20_112...e9741d8a81d90c

Is good or bad??? Im focused on pve. Maybe with the same feat skill tree i can do decent pvp,what do u thinks folks????

Dual wield reaver specced barbs are dps monsters in raids and sixies. The reason a lot of barbs go zerk with a 2h is for the innate survival of the tree, which lends itself to pvp and soloing in the level 85 zones.

Yeah u made a happy day by my part,caused i starting to like the barb before other classes,and its effective in pve I tested mages and priests but i always make warriors classes caused im a warrior in heart. Barb in this game is classified as thief but all know that this offensive class is a warrior,and the best for me

The thing with Barb is you can spec and gear almost for offtanking, and also for total glasscannon. It is a very versatile class.

Keep in mind that feat trees does not block you from using 2 handed combos or dual wield combos. In a pure Reaver build you can still use your knockback and stun, to help on your survivability. Both Barbarian and Conqueror relies on weapon swapping to be most effective.

that's the build i'm using when playing solo: http://goo.gl/FOIVmd
i normally use dual wield, and i switch to 2h for cc (my favorite one is earth shatter)...
about aa, i use upheaval and without warning...

it's also handy to use in groups, when there are mobs that can be cc'd...
eg, when doing ardashir fort, sometimes people wants to start clearing the trash before the group is full. in that case, it helps to have more cc's...

Like they've said, reaver is the way to go for 6man and raids, and zerker is easier for solo or pvp, although both work just fine for solo, including hybrid.

If you perform with zerker worse, might it be because you use Reaver stance? For solo play (when you are going to be hit all the time), Blood Rage stance is what you should use, regardless of your build or weapons, since you get healed as you hit.

For solo PvE with zerker I'd try this build: http://goo.gl/gPDoJ9

of course it's a matter of taste, but for me a pure zerk build with 2h is a bit too 'tankish' and slow...
but, a dual wield playstyle requires weapon switch, and not everybody is comfortable with it, especially at the beginning...

in that case, your build will work just fine!! actually it has a lot of +weapon damage, and with a good weapon it may be excellent!!

DW is the best for pve, but its best for groups/raids, but it doesn't mean you can't switch to 2h and stun/kb. Also, doesn't mean zerk isn't fun though, it should be easier to solo with zerk as the healing is stronger.

Honestly your build is bad. Feats are all over and missing a lot of important ones. If you have little gear/AAs, then going in general really isn't needed as much. Once you start getting a lot of gear, negative hate will start coming into play because DW tree has alot of burst damage.

This should help you until you get more gear/AAs.

Wharrgharbl, my Barb, is pure glasscannon. Hilarious to play due to the insane damage despite still using to Slaughters (1he Axe, mostly for looks), but if the mob looks at him funny, he's splattered all over the battlefield

I allowed myself to put some changes to Halfdead's Reaver build due to the new Devastation being really good to have in a Reaver build, and for sure gives more damage than the Tempered Steel and Predatory Instincts (wtf?). http://goo.gl/OovWsm

The other Berserker builds posted are built around heavy survival feats. If you want a Berskerker PvE dps build, look at this: http://goo.gl/D0M3YM
