the noob here needs advice on barbarian build--these are stats when fully geared at lvl 51
Weapon: axe 107 EE dmg to 362
Str points: 170
Dex points: 30
Armor: 31 str
Charm: 32 str
need to know if that is correct build to be able to kill in group at higher lvls.
and what would be changed if i were to try solo and well at higher lvls? i will do a different build after i mq ofc.
and should i put the rest of my stats into dex and/or str?
Barbarians can use an all strength build, particularly when you use axes, so I'd say your build is ok the way it is and just continue going all strength.
In general I'd say it would be better to ge at least 100 dexterity even with axes, but don't try to change the build now.
I see you also put your first 10 points into vitality which can be good for helping you tank more especially in catacombs.
In regards to playing solo, the way the game is now it's better if you can get a decent amount of life steal gear to go with what you have, which tends to be pretty expensive. I've found solo to be significantly more difficult and slower unless you really have a good weapon, and a significant amount of life steal.
On the side of welling, sadly, I can say that unless you have some majorly sexy melee gear and a good amount of life steal, it's unlikely that you'll be able to well successfully.
I started attempting to well with gear that was somewhat similar to what you have now actually, and I lost probably 9/10 tries or more.
Now with proficiencies and everything I'd say it's really not worth risking trying to well like that. I use mage, or as it happens warlock currently, for my welling which makes it so much easier, but even so you'd need several hundred fg++ worth of mage gear to well successfully.
