Realized with any maul in game, a barbarian can use any generated maul (20) x3 in game and turn it into 15-20 x4.
Get an "increased" threat range using pulverizer. 17-20 with that, then +2 from a barb enhancement. Then you can also get the universal +1 multiplier using that frenzied berzerker enhancement....with these numbers barbs might become DPS again :3 (and maybe comparable to AAs once they get the nerf hammer)
Just posting because I want some input.

Barbarians will always have their place in the game.
How else would rogues find random traps without barbarian soulstones marking them?

I play rogues. We should have a special little bag for soulstones. And a medium bag for barbarian soulstones.

is there any way to use 5 levels of Barb to increase the DPS of a DPS build? Or is that impossible because you don't get monk?
There looks to be some good damage in FB

Also wondering about this.... haven't seen any BF barbarians running around though. Just the LR + alignment change is enough to keep me away from that idea lol

The FB enhancements only work on 19-20 regardless of description. Tested on ML and Live during enhancement pass by multiple people including myself.

Frenzied Berserkers get total of +3 crit multiplier only on 19-20 rolls. So does work OC and Devastating critical from LD.
You would have with pulverizer 17-18/x3 and 19-20/x8, since pulverizer applies before IC.
I have a FB with eSoS and tier2 thunderforged falchion, DPS wise they are slightly better than monkensais though much more vulnerable. Barbarians if built correctly do the best melee DPS but they are usually not so resilient like some other melee types...
... Still very fun to play

Just build barbarians well.
Not every barbarian is a Shade barbarian who can do AWESOMZERS!!!1!1!!! dps if, and only if, the 11 other people in the raid are supporting him and not doing anything else.
And even though I loath most barbarian players - I have a barbarian, too. She's a halfling. Acrobat.

The squeak they make while raging is absolutely awesome.
The huge hate generation is an extra bonus.

barb increased crit range when raged in Ravager works fine I tested it on a TR life the other day. Only barbarian rage works tho, spell cast does not trigger the increase.
Critical Rage: Increases your critical threat range by 1/2 when raging.

Good to know, now to test if that stacks with pulverizer in LD tree
that'd be very nice.
Pulveriser used to act like the kensai tree and give 2 additional crit ranges instead of one if you got imp crit bludgeoning.
I'm interested to see how and if they stack....I'll roll a barb and see what crit range I get.
Another interesting idea would to just use a falcion, and get a 15-20 range with a x3
I guess we'll see....that would be nice though, since none of the thunderforged items have an increased crit range/multiplier

I tried. 12 fighter/6 barb/2 druid (for doublestrike action boost. it sucks because you can't use DS and haste boost at the same time) and the dps is still pretty meh. I mean it's great I can hit 76 str, but my stunning blow still sucks. My centered Mornh guy does more damage. Hell I think my rogue/ranger/monk does more damage with celestias. Smaller crits, but way more often. Plus lightsabres.
I could switch the druid over to FvS or Cleric for divine might and it could help, but being raged means you have to chug SF pots to heal. Which sucks. I was using the axe from CITW to pair with that tier 6 axe thing in LD. Still not worth it. I'm trying to decide what to do with him. He has an eSOS in the bank, but I wanted to try the axe thing. Maybe someone better than me at building could do something with it. Or I could try harder. We'll see. But as of right now, you're better off going another way than barb.

I have the Cetus at cap that I really don't play.
I don't know why.
Since I need something to do, thinking of either something silly like 15 pally/2mnk/3fighter solely for the EE Wyrm or Mornh 12 barbie/4 rogue/4fvs Maddmatt's build.
Maybe even drow for laughs, but I think that way "enjoyment of flavour" < inherent gimpiness.
You can't have Keen Edge and barbie crit stuff at the same time, for tactis you have to have DM.
Dual 13 - 20 Mornh with Ear Smash and Anvil in LD sounds fun, I don't know.
I am just little scared of SF pots only.
