BowDidley as a young barbarian while on a trading mission with his family came across a troop of Amazons who were giving an exhibition of their archery prowess in town. He watched in rapt attention as they fired arrow after arrow so quickly into their targets the eye could scarcely follow, and like magic when they fired one arrow that turned into ten hitting every target in view, Bow was in awe!. After the show BowDidley approached one of the sisters about her performance. After a long conversation she exclaimed that if he practiced every day, that perhaps by the time he was 30 he might have a measure of their skill. She kissed him on the cheek and slipped her love charm into his pocket, it's not everyday the Amazon meet a barbarian interested in archery!, no they usually prefer to crudely hit and throw things... From that day forward BowDidley gave up his axe lessons and promised himself that he would be the best archer Harrogath has ever known.

projected stats , enough vit for 1500 ish life after bo, str to equip, everything else to dex.
estimated skills at level 90 or 102 points ;

20 bo , 20 shout 20 battlecry 15 Grimward 1 ironskin, stamina , speed, warcry, 9 Leap , 5 find item.
I never really used Grimward and this seems like the kind of build that could use it. I might go with howl instead, but I'll have to fiddle with it.
Battlecry is my solution to not having a mastery to buff my Attack rating. I might not be able to boost my ar meaningfully from skills but I can lower their defense instead.

a1 is somewhat uneventful, but here's what transpired thus far : The second I walked out the door into the moore, there was an exploding shrine that gave me a bunch of potions that I quickly sold for a short bow and a bundle of arrows, I never needed to punch a monster which is fine by me.

First GC

So Countess, smith Andy and more to come tomorrow Level 14 at sign off.

IMO if I were you I'd go with 1 into shout which would allow you more points into natural res / increases speed / find item, maybe 1 into battle command as well (just what I'd do). Also should try to find a widow maker! Anyways, GL bro! Sounds interesting!

thats a cool idea indeed!
tracked for sure
gl

Nice! Looks fun. Tracked ofc! May the odds be with you
Gl!

yep good idea
goodluck

hmmm so similar to a ranger druid in terms of DPS but with some different utility. should be rather tanky but will need a tanky merc as well with no bear.

cute walk idea for sure, should be a challenge. BO+Masteries give a non-combat tree barb a big boost in some areas for sure. Howl will be nice for those pesky adds that don't aggro merc, i personally hate grim ward but that's my preference.
