Done With The Barbarian

[Pan Darius Cassandra]

I leveled four Barbarians, familiarized myself with their mechanics, now I'm done for now...

Nothing personal, Barbarians are probably just my least favorite class. I have a couple ideas for Barbarian multiclasses that utilize UD or Rage (or both), but as a single class character, I just don't find them interesting.

I actually came to the same conclusion. Which is probably why it was either A) easy lifting in terms of getting it implemented as it's a fairly easy class to work with outside of the throw mechanic...or B) It just happened to be one of the ones already completed....or some combination of both.

Either way the class added nothing really to my enjoyment particularly since I'm doing the same content anyway

I think theres a high likelihood all the classes are already finished.

I don't think so. If they were, they wouldn't have as many bugs as they do when they're released.

I do think that every class is at least mostly finished, however. I doubt that the last three classes are at 0% of implementation.

In Soviet Baldur's Gate, barbarian is done with you.

Probably not, speaking for myself anyways :-) So many tiny things I find I've missed each playthrough. I need to start keeping notes :-D

I think my problem is, I'm just not sure what to do with the barbarian (as a single class) that I can't do better with other classes in BG3.

As a melee/tank the fighter and the druid are better then the barbarian, and you can simply do more with a fighter and druid then you ever could with a barbarian. Especially the druid where you can tank, and then switch to magic, then back. Heck a properly outfitted cleric can tank as well as a barbarian, and it can still heal.

You have better DPS classes in Ranger, Wizard, and Warlock.

Simply put in BG3 the barbarian doesn't bring anything new to the table.

I actually kept notes, to be honest, despite completing the Early Access only once. I even steered clear of some areas, saving them for full release, mainly the swamps/bog. I never went there. Grymforge also released after I played EA. So yes, there is a lot of detail to discover and memorize in every location. But you gotta save some for full release. Otherwise where will the sense of exploration be at ?

Still have those notes. Gonna pull them forth come full release.

I've never really played a pure barb.

I know one of my characters for my table top games is a tiefling barbarian, but hes a fighter dip for action surge, but the table is very different from a game so I don't know for sure if I will even touch barbarian here.

I'm still experimenting with this game, and I'm mostly enjoying melee characters, but again, fighter over barb.

[Siegdarth]

Despite having less things (right now my fav character is a Battlemaster) to do I LOVED the barbarian interactions and probably will be my first play.

Kahga - Arrest the kid !!!! Snake, bite her!!!"
Me - RELEASE HER YOU ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Kahga - I.....let her go.

Chessus her facewas amazing.

Mirror - Who are you !?
Me- BARBARIAN

Barbarians are so boring. I personally never play one. It's the class I recommend to new players that do not want to put forth effort. Easiest class to learn and play.

I like it as a multiclass option for taking advantage of UD and/or Rage.

[cl656]

I didn't think I would like the class, but I do. I however have a hard time seeing the Barb as a leader figure of a group of companions.

I think you're forgetting about the class GM's Buddy.

I find DnD martials in general to be lacking, with barb just one of many.

As a DM of a barbarian player, the main role they fill seems to be being damn hard to take down thanks to the damage resistance of Rage and high hit die. Otherwise, they bonk, that's about it.

well each to his own i guess i had my 2 runs worked fine just like any other... Got to level 4 and i'm feed up with EA zoen to bother with it... you get to level 4 really fast anyway. Hope we get multiclassing with good level cap...
