AuthorBarbarian Faction: Strategies, Hints, Tips, etc.
The old post became outdated, so I am starting the next one.
Link to the last one:

Question: For a level 9 barbarian, what recruiting, talents, and artifacts are recommended?
I was think that for recruiting I should use max hobs and orcs, then all the rest on ogres and rocs. For talents, probably Advanced Offense + Battle Fury + Cold Blade. The main debate I have is over arts. Would it be wiser to use 2 Rings of Abdication (+5% Initiative each) or 2 Rings of Inspiration (+1 Morale each)?
Rings of Abdication with Cold Blade

+20% Melee Damage
+1 min-max
+10% Water Damage
+10% initiative
-2 Defense

Rings of Inspiration with Retribution.

+35% Melee Damage
+1 min-max
+2 Morale

In most situations, I suggest the latter.
Sorry for double-post.

I meant to add that if you throw on a Medal of Bravery, you can bring that Melee Damage Bonus up to 40%.

So with Retribution and Morale build, Medal of Bravery > Pendant of Despair?
The old post isn't outdated, just closed :)
First choose max orcs, second wolfs or hobgoblins. rest ogres+rock (maybe i would try to have enough rocs to can transport all ogres).
I would forget abdication rings, they aren't for a barbarian (just look at the picture, does look something a barb would wear? ).
Yeah, inspiration rings+bravery medal with retribution is a good build. But you could also go offense+fury+weighty+thrusting (as pvp build). Or with tactics so you can quickly block against ranged hunts.
In addition, 3 morale+retribution also increased your ranged damaged by 15% compared to cold blade which only increase by 10%
At my opinion you should go for Pendant of Despair, the bonus initiative can give lot advantage for you as first shooter and on melee fights... Also the 1 attack and def are very useful too...

Rings of inspiration.

Talents may be Advanced offensive + fury + Basic fortune (with black wolfs)
Advanced Offensive + Fury + Retribution (With set of morale)
Advanced Offensive + Fury + Cold Blade (Without morale set)
Alright, I will go with Retribution + Morale build for the next tourney, only decision left is Pendant of Despair or Medal of Bravery?
Definitely Pendant of Despair
kindly tell best arts for barbs in ST for lvl 8
Get the expensive, remember the arts are write in English language you can always read the status bonus...
