Yeah, yeah, I know: delete the fucker.  Still and all, he's sitting there at 16th level with a +20 heart and it seems a shame to not at least *try* something.  Obviously there's no good way to get to any build including Monk levels (why the hell they couldn't have let you change alignment when redoing your toon I have no fucking clue) so what's left?

He's currently 15 Barb/1 Fighter - no, I don't know why either, it was a long time ago - alignment is NG.  I find barb incredibly boring, which is why he has been sitting there so long, so does anyone have any ideas for something fun and interesting involving big axes that he could do?

I was thinking maybe take current level split to 6 Barb / 8 Fighter; I could stick a couple of Druid levels on there to bring him back to 16 and pick up the Doublestrike action boost.  Then another 4 Fighter for the feats and the Power Surge, I guess...

And then, yes, TR    Thoughts?

Bard is an interesting idea...

He's only a first-life toon, and frankly I've got no long-term plans for him; it's just something to do.  I've got 14 toons with +20 hearts and no more than a few hours a week to play.  Hell, I haven't even got around to clearing down my TR cache to start my main's next life; I've been on perhaps 4 or 5 evenings since U19.  I know it doesn't take that long to get those last four levels on a first life, but my play time is so limited that even that much time spent playing a character I hate is painful.

I just can't get on with Barbs; they bore me to tears.  Honestly, the only reason I'm thinking of including ANY barb levels is run speed and the Angry Arms enhancements for extra glancing blow procs...  I will TR this toon at some point after hitting cap, but with the level range expanding and Epic TR'ing being introduced I can't think when I'll have time.  I'm just looking for a THF'ing G-axe platform, simply because he already has axes

EDIT: I should have just asked "What would be a good G-Axe build when it's not possible to get Monk into the mix?" and left it at that

LMFAO! 

Woe is me, for I am on Khyber: and the Great One who first made manifest to his followers the Crushing of It has long since departed...

Come then, oh wise one; short of TR'ing, how in hell do I get from 15 levels of Barb to a build with Monk levels in it without burning assloads of TP?  Only way I can see is to swallow the +20 heart to switch Barb to Fighter (or whatever), then do an alignment change to LN, then multiple +x hearts to replace [whatever] with Monk.

If you know different, share plz.

6 barb adds some nice dps, but is as garbage as barbs ever were for self-sufficiency. I wouldn't add barb levels to any character unless I had my own personal healbot.

Personally I'd get OP's to 20 and take the barb PL and TR.

If you have so many projects already, why take on another? Let him rot.

Or, you could try using the +20 heart, after 1 lvl of fighter use the alignment change. If you want full monk, then it just allows you to use a +1 heart when finished leveling. Just take the rest of the levels as a monk except the 1st. This is the only way. Otherwise, you can do the popular monk split with fighter. I hear it is good, but I am a purist when it comes to monks.

You can't use alignment changes on the LR airship.
It's not the only way.
