Barbarian

“ Mighty warriors renowned for their strength and inhuman stamina, barbarians often wander far from their homelands, hoping to heap glory on their names through brave deeds and feats of arms. Some are grim and silent, some jovial and friendly, others crude, gruff and arrogant. All barbarians see themselves as superior to the other men of the world, the rightful owners of anything they can take by force, and bound to a destiny written down before time began. Coupled with their physical toughness, their belief in predestination leaves them unafraid of death, and thus all the more fearsome in battle. ” - Barbarian Lore		Barbarian  Savage of the Northlands

Overview The barbarian is a stealth class that specializes in quickly eliminating one target. They are highly-prized in group fights for their ability to block all healing on a target with Shadow Mantle. Solo players will also find the barbarian's kit quite versatile, however, they have few ranged weapon choices and no way to increase their speed, relying on Steal Breath to slow their target instead.

Playstyle Tips Barbarians, like many rogues, work best when catching their target by surprise. Sneak up on an unsuspecting target using stealth powers, consider your opponents weaknesses, and exploit them. Mage A mage barbarian's primary means of damage is usually Shadow Bolt, which applies a short stun. Since all stuns apply a brief immunity that refreshes on all new stun attempts, it is best to use Shadow Touch before unleashing your volley of Shadow Bolts. Rogue Rogue barbarians will generally want to open with of of their many backstab variants. To know the most effective one, you will need to have some knowledge about other classes. Bear in mind that the backstab variants are considered poison and can be dispelled by the appropriate effect removal powers.
