To
start to play your Barbarian set your point per
level in this way: 3 Strength, 1 Dexterity, 1
Vitality. Use this method until you reach level
100 and be able to make a good equipment. Don't
worry about to set your points for endgame, because
at level 100 you have to rebirth twice and you can
reset points for free. Once you have a good
equipment (Nirvana 3rd cast, Rank gears, etc) and
you are starting your second rebirth, you can choose
your build.
Builds
are different for
PvE (Player VS
Environment = Quest and Dungeons) and
PvP
(Player VS Player = Territory War etc..)
For
PvE
you don't really need high HP because you need to
learn the mechanics of the Dungeons to be able to
stay alive and also farming and questing is easy
with a basic Nirvana 3rd cast set with cheap shards
and little refine. I suggest to set the points on
Dexterity just enough to equip your weapon and armor
and all you can in Strength. With a full Strength
build you can do your quest faster and still
tanking or dealing damage in Dungeons. For your
cultivation follow the Demon path. Demon will help
with Accuracy and Critical Hit that can be helpful
for questing or killing boss.
For
PvP
there are different builds and gameplay, but
everything start with defense level shards or
vitality shards in your equipment and a weapon
with Purify Spell. There is no more space for
attack level Barbarians because we don't have any
super-powered skill (Armageddon hurt but need some
work to bypass defense charm), our stunlock is weak
and we struggle to reach our target. Use attack
level shards would be a risk because we can't tank
the damage from ranged magic class with God of
Frenzy on their weapons and we can't use some
important skills (Roar for example). With defense
level shards and Purify Spell weapon plus an Attack
weapon you can build based on your favourite play
style. You can go full Vitality and Sage to play as
a classic Tank (stay in front of your squad and take
damage for them) or you can go full Strength, up to
you if Demon or Sage, for dealing damage or play as
a support.
If you
want to be good at both
PvE
and
PvP
with an unique build,
you
can follow the Demon full Strength path.

SAGE
Why? Sage is a Chi maker with Bestial Rage, Master Li’s
Technique and swapping Human/Tiger form. Chi is good for
Invoke or Celestial Eruption that purify negative
status, heals and reduce damage taken. Tiger/Panda form
add more Health Point and with Shapeshift Intensity
grants more Physical Defense.

Use 300 points in
Strength and 60 in Dexterity to be able to equip your

because it increases your HP and both Physical and
Elemental Resistance.

EQUIPMENTS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weapon
A pure Tank doesn’t need a
strong weapon, but better to look for Defense Level
or any kind of attribute that can help to reduce the
damage taken.
Dominator’s Maul (Rank 8 2nd/3rd cast): It is the
basic weapon of a Tank Barbarian. Not expensive and can
provide around 25 Defense Level (or more if lucky) as
main attribute.
Dragonbreath Weapon (Grade 17): 5th cast with 80
Defense Level and Purify Spell as defensive attribute is
the must. This weapon is very expensive, but also 3rd
cast (farmable) with Purify Spell can be good. I really
suggest Purify Spell as main bonus, but nothing forbids
to have multiple G17 weapons with different bonus,
Dimlight Figure (Untargettable) and Benevolent Ward
(Immune to damage for 8 seconds) are the best after
Purify Spell.

There are two different “customizations”: who
prefer Defense level and who prefer HP build; 1st is
based on damage reduction and 2nd to cover the damage
taken with high HP. In my opinion Defense level is
better, but expensive.
Important: Do not mix
HP and defense level build!

As a Damage Dealer
you need an high strength genie for offensive skills (Occult
Ice and Tangling Mire) and power up your low defense (Solid
Shield). High strenght means low energy and low stamina
regeneration, for this reason you need to manage your
genie very well.

Absolute Domain, Solid Shield, Occult Ice, Tangling
Mire.

Support is a very
versatile build and there are different way to use the
genie. Since you have to do double job (Tank and DD),
depend on the size of PvP, you need to use a different
genie. In a small event you can use a strengh genie to
use some skills for stunlock (Occult Ice) and for debuff
(Tangling Mire). In a large event, where is harder to
survive, would be preferable to use a vitality genie
with Absolute Domain and Faith.

GAMEPLAY
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For all the quiet PvE
lovers, that want to enjoy with quests,
storyline and dungeons, the life is not so
simple. PvE requires his abilities and knowledge,
other then of your class, also of the trap and
the boss of the different dungeons.
A PvE Barbarian can be required for:
- Pull a group of monsters: Barbarian can
pull a large group of monsters, then Invoke,
Roar to generate threat (aggro), then run back
to the squad for a massive kill. This ability is
required in Phoenix Valley, Delta and
Froscovered City.
- Tank a Boss. It means to generate
enough threat (aggro). This way the boss hit you
instead of your squad mate. Can be necessary if
the squad members can die from the Boss damage
or with some Boss that use a frontal AoE that 1
shot every non-Barbarian class. (Golden
Toad in Flowsilver Palace for example)
- Nuke a Boss. Barbarian has a strong
skill for PvE (Violent Triumph with a Verdant
glyph increase damage of your skills by 120% to
monsters) that, used with Blood Rush, squad
debuff and Armageddon, help to kill some boss in
few seconds.
- Tank 1-Shot abilities. Boss in the
recent dungeons can kill every player in 1 hit
if you don't use the right mechanics. Sometime
mechanics are hard to do and Cornered Beast with
Sanguine glyph give you immunity to most of the
1 shot and help the squad to success.

۱
CULTIVATION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEMON Why? Demon help to deal damage with a better
critical hit with Bestial Onslaught, better accuracy with Blood Bath (good when
you pull and kill a group of monsters) and increase
attack rate (good for APS to kill single monsters).

Strength is the most important attribute to

* You can consider to use 200 points on Dexterity, to
equip Fists/Claws within other equipments that give
Interval -0,05 or -0,10 and reach 5 attack per seconds
with Demon spark. This strategy doesn't work on recent
dungeons.
۱
EQUIPMENTS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weapon
Will be perfect to have Chieftain’s
Shredder (Rank 9 3th cast) to use God of Frenzy,
otherwise Warsoul or Maze weapon are valid replacements.
Gears
There are different dungeons at different levels.
Talk about gears is hard because for some
dungeons, Barbarians are necessary and if you
can tank the boss your gears doesn't really
matter. For some other dungeons, Barbarians are
not necessary (our buff is replaced by ) and we
don't have any really strong debuff, so people
will get you only if you have high gears to deal
damage.

Without the
pressure of PvP, you can use a strength genie for better

be able to use Tree of Protection or Frenzy + Tangling
Mire (for Armageddon combo) and you can use all
remaining points to strenght.

for PvE:
Alpha Male, Tangling Mire, Tree of Protection, Solid
Shield
