There are 2 amazing barbarian armors in act 1 and 2. One is dropped by the underdark Bullet and grants you wrath when you get hit and the other one is sold by the bugbear merchant in moonrise towers and grants you 2 extra con and you 2 turns of wrath whenever you rage. They both count as clothing so the barbarians passive grants you extra ac based on your con bonus

Thought this game wasnt for me. Now im 150 hours in and obsessed and cant stop playing

Since Berserker no longer gives exhaustion it's actually a viable subclass now. There's a Pike of Returning that returns to your hand upon throwing so you can throw it as a bonus action with Enraged Throw, knock the enemy down, then move in for free advantage. The pike is found by trading with Grat the Trader at the goblin camp.

Little surprised that multi class with fighter didn't get a nod, barbarian can get a lot of use out of action surge. It isn't as interesting as some other combos, but it's reliable.

I've always loved Wild Magic Barbarian, but there's sadly a change from 5e that makes it a bit clunkier than it should be. In 5e, when you wild magic rage and gain an effect that says something like "Use a bonus action each turn to do x, " it lets you immediately perform that bonus action on that turn, as part of the rage bonus action. Where as in bg3, you have to wait until your next turn to use it.

So say you get the wild magic that lets you teleport with each bonus action. In 5e, you could teleport immediately after raging. In bg3, you have to wait until your next turn to teleport.

I hope Larian changes this, as taking 3 lvls in Thief Rogue wouldn't really be worth it just for this, especially since you lose out on Unstable Backlash.

9 tiger wild heart 3 assassin half-orc give a bump to crits from both half-orc and barbarian plus auto-crit on the first turn from assassin. Tiger bloodlust lets you hit multiple enemies with each attack.

After you get a little bit into the game, have some gold/resources...
Stock up on Elixir's of Hill/Cloud Giant Strength. They increase your strength to 21/27 respectively (Cloud giant tends to only be in act 3) so if you use these constantly, you can dump your strength into another stat. Finished my first playthrough as a barbarian with a natural 8 in strength.
Long rests don't *seem* to affect anything other than restocking the shops. So rest, shop, rest, shop, rest, shop, etc. until you have all the you want, need or can afford.

Wild Magic Barbarian is always fun. Definitely on my list to play. A dumb yet interesting idea is 3 Warlock (pact of blade) 9 Wild Magic Barbarian. Armor Agathys and free pact weapon. Cast then go into a rage with temp HP.

8:18 I had never been in touch with DnD gameplay before, and made my first character a Wild Heart Barbarian. During character creation I thought to myself "Melees should have movement", and I have taken Elk first, Half Wood Elf... I later changed to Eagle, for bonus action dash (pairs well with "on dash, gain Momentum" helmet - or boots). I am only level 5, but so far I had combats where I ran 50meters and still had my attack available that round, and in one round I Eagle Striked a poor guy multiple times by running up the cliff behind him, diving, running back up, and diving again. Yes, this is FUN! (Especially considering a turn is supposed to be 6 seconds... just imagine someone running up a cliff and jumping on you TWICE in 6 seconds...)

I'd just add that the 6 levels of Wild Magic Barbarian and 6 levels of Battlemaster works really well. You still get the 3 feats so you can get Strength to 20 and still get Great Weapon Master, and the combination of GWM, Action Surge, Reckless Attack and Battlemaster attacks means you can dish out truly frightening amounts of damage in a single turn - especially if you get a good roll on the Wild Magic Rage effect.

Awesome, been waiting for this one for a while. Awesome video, great depth. Thank you!

As always, Fextralife comes through. This guide inspires me to multiclass with Druid.

Fextralife is simply the best.

[Rexlucem]

Hey my dude thanks for all the great content over the years 👏

[EliteWarrior]

14:04 Sounds like a good build for Karlach. Started out as a Barbarian in the Blood War, now she's starting down a new path while still keeping that same focus on Aggressive Combat while pursuing evil bastards.

[bassman]

Thank you for this! I really appreciate your awesome guides🤙

Barbarians look like they are fun to play. Thank you for the great vid.

[Sadboy-ddzo]

I just finished a Barb game and i was 12 lvls in beastial heart for tiger rage and the tiger passive for double attack mod to hit. Cleaving with over a +10 to hit is INSANE

[NeroNyte]

I kinda wanna see an Assassin's Creed build with Eagle Heart lol, probably not the most effective but just fun to think about diving off cliffs onto enemies with no fall damage

[FatherRabbitt]

I really wish the additional rage damage scaled a bit better (like it does in Pathfinder). Plus 2 damage at level 1 is way better than plus 3 at level 12. Also, crossing my fingers that they’ll add Storm Herald barbarian at some point 🤞🏻
