Hello all,
I'm currently planning to revisit the PoE series and doing a complete playthrough. I've decided to play a dualwielding barbarian primarily optimized for damage and secondarily for crit effects etc applied through carnage. I'll be picking up Eder, Durance, Aloth, Hiravias and use the 6th slot to rotate between the remaining NPCs in order to complete their questlines.
I've been trying to gather as much information as possible regarding a build like this but it's hard to really say what stats, talents and abilities would be ideal. As for attributes I'm thinking high MIG/DEX/PER and 8-10-ish in the remaining stats. Please let me know if this is less than ideal for a barbarian of the type I have in mind. Seems like dual sabres is the way to go for damage with something optional to swap in when crushing damage or high DR is needed.
When it comes to talents and I'll list a few ones below that seem essential:
Accurate Carnage
WF: Soldier
Savage/Stalwart Defiance
TWS
Frenzy/Greater Frenzy
Vulnerable Attack
Heart of Fury
Now for the remaining talents and abilities, would you pick any of the following ? Am I missing any essential ones ?
Brute Force ?
Threatening Presence ?
Savage Attack ?
Eye of the Storm ?
Barbaric Shout ?
Veteran's Recovery ?
Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated!
BR,
