Pure Barb, Pure Bard, Bard/Barb Split?

Which is the most fun to play: pure barbarian, barbarian/bard split, or pure bard?
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

define 'fun'

I ran a barb/bard/rog multiclass split for a barb past life.
Saves were not great, but stuff died, eventually.  This was
before either class got buffed, so...donuts.

I'm doing that now.  Stuff dies from heart attacks when I enter the dungeon, I can scroll res all the other gimps in the party, and do EE traps.  It's pretty fun.

Im testing a pure barb Drow on Lam... TWF with dual rapiers/Con build

Sustained SR in the 90's and shit dies.. tried a Dwarf barb Con build.. TWF with dual warhammers...was sluggish and not terribly impressive. This drow... mobs get sterile just looking at her >_<

I was thinking about going pure bladeforged barb for the simplified bluebar healing. Do a Con-heavy build and just dismiss/heal/re-rage between fights.

Just one idea. Personally, I have GOT to self-heal, and after suffering through a few scroll-healed lives I really can't do it again. Having to rely on scrolls/potions/clickies gets old fast.

Blood Strength plus Consecration is more healing than needed. Bladeforged is a trap for barbarians.

Consecration is an ED ability, what's your answer on the other 20 levels of the game?

In today's game?  You really won't notice.  Barbs just stomp everything now.

Craft a bodyfeed of vampirism axe.   Grin

Real men play pure barbs.  Multi-classing is for sissys and little girls Wink
