What is the besat weapon class for the barbarian?
Sword?
Axe?
Club?

i use a sword and im dex barb
Axe and club are for str barbs i think

Why so?? I ask because I've seen this mentioned before...
Could you provide me with a more in-depth explaination of why dex for swords and str for axes, etc.
I have a level 20 Fighter and a level 19 Barbarian, whom both I've pumped all stat points into str only...
Need assistance please...

with axes you dont critical strike very much
so you dont realy need dex but it is useful

with swords and clubs its good to have dexerity cause
they both critical strike alot *sword more though*


if sword and club its good to get 120-130 dex
(me my self i go 120* then pump rest into strength
this is with my master quest gear

if you use axe i think full strength should be good
sence it adds your minium and max damage up
witch is good for axes cause its a constint damage

Understood...
Still not clear though why swords critically strike more often then axes, but make more sense to have critical strike because of the wide range of damge between a swords minimum and maximum damage...
thread still open, looking for further discussion regarding this to come to a greater understanding...
I would hate to re-do my character. And if necessary, I would like to know how to correctly build him/them at the least.

swords crit more because that have a random chances of doing 1-xx or w/e the max dmg+ is, axe are for consistent hit, yet i think axe is the best for a barb if ur building a pure str barb. so even if u have a crappy axe ur barb will still have a good amount of dmg due to the str.

well my barb is a solo barb so . i put 5vit/5str , each for a boost of life/dmg. then after every lvl i put all into str, when any weapon i pick up at the same lvl as i am, im able to a decent amount of dmg.
