urthstripe: since barbarians are meelee most people think you need strength. what i suggest using skill points on are dexterity until level 40 and from then on alternate between dexterity and wisdom. the items you should use are: at level 25-50: for weapon you should use barbarian king mace. armor is the centurion. helm is war bonnet. boots artic boots. at level 50 change boots to silver boots. the spell set i would use for monsters AND pvp is bloodlust from lvl 20-60 from 60-70 frenzy and for pvp i would use master frenzy for level 70+
