Missing barbarian class

[Derpasaurus Rex]

Hey everyone,

I'm having some trouble finding out why barbarian isn't appearing in class selection I've tried with every race choice and I'm not seeing barbarian, I've checked some videos and I have shaman instead of barbarian am I missing something?

Thanks!

It's a Fighter kit now.

you can't dual a barbarian so its not really a fighter kit, but its listed there.

Class kits are not about dual-classing. There are many kits that can't dual-class.

Paladins cannot dual class at all so it is absurd to claim that Undead Hunters not being able to dual class is a restriction of the kit.

Conversely fighters are normally able to dual class so a specific fighter kit not being able to dual class must be a restriction of the kit because it only applies to that specific kit and not the class in general.

yeah.... uh, what are you trying to dual your paladin kit to? maybe a paladin/bard? would you need to fall to chaotic somehow? what would be your primary and secondary stats?

look my statement stands yours was ...the guy above said absurd. I'm going to say it was 'technically correct' with the goal of starting a fight.

yes, you cannot dual paladin kits. this is a true statement. but I'm not sure how it helps your case.

It was moved from a separate class to a fighter kit due to technical limitations.

It is Barbarian in name only. After 2.5 it got moved to a Bizzerker Kit for a fighter, counts as a Warrior in terms of the additional attack in profitancies. I know I cant spell, but you can understand what I am trying to say.They can even where Full Plate now. They are one of the most powerful single class kits, as a Half-Ork with 19 STR, and you can still proceed with Romances with the exception of Jahirea. I play Evil parties so I already have a Dwarf, added STR is better than CON to me any way.
AKA fighter/mage is toooo easy. I like some reality in my fantasy.

The Berserker and the Barbarian are separate Fighter kits. Although the Berserker is a basically a better Barbarian.

[ReoHays]

Not on mine. Make a Barbarian and look at your class in game. Then go put on some full plate. Barbarian in name only. They aren't suppose to wear Full Plate, class says Berserker.

[wendigo211]

Two different classes:

Barbarian

Berserker

You ever have one of those moments... I've had this Beserker for over a year and thought he was a Barbarian. But your right, I masterd and a Barbarian cant, I'm wearing Baulder's Full plate. Still is great for duel wielding.

[red255]

yeah beserkers are great. Barbarians get more HP and damage reduction so they can be pretty decent.

Hardiness + barbarian damage reduction + Defender of easthaven is pretty tanky.

but in most cases I'd rather the beserker, dualled to something else at some point.

[ReoHays]

Barbarians profitancies suck. I dont use ranged wepons for my Battle Tank any way.
