Barbarian Multiclass Poll (Witch, Warlock, or Marauder?)

[Cyrus_Blackfeather]

Hey guys, 

 

Decided I'd make a poll to help me decide between Witch or Marauder for my Principi character. I really like Barbarians in this game, especially since you can play them as super intelligent, apparently, so I wanted to roll with a multiclass of one. Unfortunately, both builds I've come up with seem fun, so I'm really at a loss. I figure I'll post the two of them here and get some votes from you guys. Please leave your comments below as to your experiences with each. 

 

Witch (Berserker/Soulblade): https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/104124-tentative-melee-witch-for-a-pro-principi-character/

 

Marauder (Berserker/Streetfighter): https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/104188-tentative-marauder-build-revisiting-an-old-concept-for-a-principi-character/

 

Once I decide on one, I'll begin creating a more finalized build with gear and stuff. 

 

Right now, I'm leaning toward Marauder because A: It fits the theme a little bit more and B: I played around with one around 1.02 and had a lot of fun with it, but didn't get very far. I'm excited to hear what you guys think. 

 

Also, I know both are viable - in fact, the cool thing about this game is that most builds are viable. What I want to know is...

 

1. Which do you think fits the theme more? 

2. Which has a better synergy? 

 

Edit: Added Warlock to the poll, but I don't have a build for it yet.

I would go Marauder but Trickster instead of Streetfighter. Will do less damage for sure, but the illusion buffs will help cover the Berserker penalties. This way you can also shift some of the points from RES to something better.

The points in Resolve were mostly taken for roleplay reasons - I don't like having super low willpower IC. Trickster would be a good choice too, though. I've also considered Warlock, because IwVE allows me to circumvent the Berserker penalty with one spell cast, and I can take a Grimoire that offers the majority of the spells I need, and is available fairly early on. There's also Pull of Eora, which synergizes with the Upright Captain's Belt you get for Principi quests.
