You don't have to build Karlach as a Barbarian. She can still keep her flavor being a fighter / monk muti-class.
Take the kid gloves off.

Like others int his thread I am confused as to how you managed this. I don't fuss around too much with builds and Karl has never given me problems. If anything I have a nasty habit of defaulting to a group of her, Laez, and Astarion for almost all my quests because they do The Damage

Yeah i genuiney dont know if its her armor or her weapon cause you cant really mess around too much with the character so. I just respec her tho and shes back to normal so whatever. People were genuinely being helpful for the most part but

She is a murder machine in my playthrough, give her better equipments or spec her better.

My lvl 10 Karlach is a beast, so you are probably doing something wrong.

Respecc her to give her a better stat distrubution. go 10 in wis, cha, int, 11 in dex, 17 in str and 15 in con.
Keep her as a barbarian and specc her as a wildheart elk and bear for damage reduction to her and movement, first feat is ASI +2 str second is sentinel. Use colossus elixirs to increase her damage as well as soul coins. Then give her some good gear.

I prefer the Enraging heart chest giving her +2 con and wrath while she rages (+1 damage), Helldusk gloves for +1d4 damage on melee hits, evasive shoes to boos AC, Give her a halbeard of vigilance from the act 2 vendor and you are set.

I think endgame fighters are just plain better than barbarians. Nothing is going to compete with improved extra attack. (3 attacks vs 2) Especially when hasted.

I've been tempted to respec Karlach into fighter, (but only didn't for rp reasons.)
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

We are having very different experiences then. It depends on what act you're in, but in act 3 (by the time you reach the lower city) my Karlach was doing 35+ damage per hit. By the time I reached level 12 it wasn't uncommon for her to have 150 damage turns (and over 200 with haste).

Get her in 1/2 Plate (highest enchantment) as soon as possible. regular 1/2 plate is as good as Hide+2.
Gloves of the growling underdog are wasted on a barbarian because they have Reckless Attack, give her gloves with a bonus to damage (like the Dark Justiciar's Gauntlets or the Flawed Helldusk Gloves), or a bonus to attack (like the Swordmaster Gloves).
You want a weapon that hits harder, Halberd of Vigilance should available in act2 and there are a couple of good glaives to keep an eye out for towards the end of the act.

So you gave her armor she can't use? Well that explains that

I multiclassed her as a wildmagic sorcerer lvl 2 and wildmagic barbarian for the other levels and she stomps
