You should max this out first to 20 points it actually gives a bigger bonus to damage than investing in Concentrate does. Though the build is called a "Concentrate Barbarian", it is really Battle Orders (BO) that's at the heart of the whole setup. Max out Battle Orders first, then Concentrate, then Shout, and Weapon Mastery last. The general skill progression is to get 1 point in all the crucial skills as soon as possible.
In any case, since this character uses a shield he needs a fair bit of dexterity.Įarly in the game, aim for 2*level+15 points of dexterity as that is enough to achieve base blocking with any shield don't be afraid to invest a few levels ahead and stick some extra points in. In addition to increasing the blocking of your shield, it provides additional attack rate, which then gets a skill bonus the end result is that a character with a shield and max block will find it very easy to hit monsters, while one without who foregoes dexterity may have trouble hitting and be forced to invest in AR items.
Generally strength is needed most at the start, so a lot should go into this category early on until the required amount is achieved.ĭexterity is an underappreciated stat. Anywhere from 120-156 base strength by level 80 can suffice here make sure you don't underinvest and end up unable to equip yourself. Planning ahead on this can be tricky as you may not know how many strength bonuses you'll be getting or which items you'll want. While strength does provide a bonus to damage, like with most characters it's only worth investing in it to let you equip your items. The build is designed for version 1.10 or higher, and assumes you're playing the expansion. With its low damage dealing however, it is not a good player-vs-player character.
With its warcries and tanking ability, it is an excellent character to play in a party alongside higher-damage-dealing characters. This character is good, but slow, in a solo game either soft or hardcore. With all the above and an extremely high life total, a player with this setup is a virtual tank that can survive most situations alone or in a party. High resistances of all types lower the damage that does get through by up to 75%. Second is a shield with max blocking, providing an additional 75% of enemy misses. This starts with defense: while the difference between low and middling defense may not be much (5% misses versus 30%), with extremely high defense enemies begin to miss most of their hits (up to 95%) and the damage taken goes way down. The focus is to maximize the character's survivability, usually at the cost of damage output. A barbarian based on the synergistic combination of concentrate with battle orders brings several very good things to the table.
