Barbarian is a great class once you get timing, range, and footwork down. I went from 1 to 15 solo with no gear and just my fists. Lots of deaths, only killed a few players, and barely escaped. It was fun and I'm glad I did it.

This is the first game is 30+ years of gaming where the animations slow and deliberate enough to make me move in my seat. When a skeleton swings his sword at me, I physically move my upper torso away from my screen. The last time I did something like that was playeing Mario Cart on the Super NES. I would move the controller as the cart turned. I was 7.
This game should add physics behind the weapon attacks. It would be so satisfying to send ragdoll bodies across the room when you one shot them as barbarian

i feel like barb is very underrated, even in pve its decent because of the fear. my biggest issue with it is that after a fight it takes forever to heal back
nah not underrated whatsoever. there was so much uproar about how broken barb is that there was apparently word from the devs about removing barb in full release
@@lorddingo8848 that was this playtest, the playtest before that when my comment was made they where considered the weakest, what happend thisplaytest just shows i was right about them being underrated at that point.
is there a block or parry mechanic in the game? besides shields, i havent seen any. looks like the strat is to just swing and hope your weapon does more dmg since theres no reading/punish involved besides missing a swing. no flinch either
That was awesome! I felt my heart skip a beat when you overstepped at the very end there. All this bobbing, weaving, and calculated headshots with the axe makes me wanna try barbarian!
In the future there's gonna be an edit of all the new features in this game with a gray filter on it and sad music, Then when the music drops it'll be a compilation of a bunch of nostalgic moments from the playtest With all the comments being like "where did they go wrong"
Yeah, the Felling Axe is so much better than all the other weapons that I am just spoiled and hate playing without it. Look at how fast you can do consecutive hits… Its insane.
Just be careful that you don't whiff a swing or you're dead. My personal favorite build is running hatchet and horseman axe, even if its not very viable.
I just picked this game up yesterday and what I'm doing so I'll see a group I shut off all the lights in the room and try to hide an ambush then. Kida cool to see I was on the right track and lights make a fight so much harder
bro you are running my EXACT barb build, down to the binds and the felling axe. I have had similar success, and I also have 2500+ mordhau hours. Much love from stateside -JDM
He ducks and looks up so his character model bends backwards so they hit his torso instead of his head. He's got great subtle footwork. Also a few times when he misses his swings he turns around and ducks and looks down so his head isn't visible for a punish. Consider he's also probably taking a lot of damage but the HP bar is the same length for all classes and barb has a ridiculous HP pool; so comparing his HP bar with 150HP vs a rogue or a fighter with 80-100 isn't a good comparison. A fighter relies on having a massive amount of armor rating to cut the damage down.
He has a perk that gives him 10% HP after each kill, he uses protection potion wich lets him take 25 dmg he also uses a HP potion and he has great gear. There is not much to it... And the is fighting against guys with white green gear
Imo this axe compared to other barbarian weapons is insanely strong for big damage and quick headshots, since you can just run in like a moron and tank damage
this game is perfectly balanced and if you dont agree, then your skill is just bad and your inteligence for the game is too low.. you know you need to actually use your brain to outsmart players right?
Can you tell us the perks you prefer using the most? This video was insane my man great job! Good editing too! I need a tutorial on all that fancy footwork you were doin
I love this game!! Although, it is crazy that you have to chase someone down with your fists to fight optimally. The game needs serious balance changes!
I miss this game so fucking much. I'll never be able to play it the same. The map rotation, alongside many other changes, ruined this game beyond repair for me. I am so deeply saddened honestly. But I'll never forget, the only gem in my life during Christmas was playing this game and finding teams on the discord.
Yeah. I had some problems too, though I managed to have a good time anyways. Thankfully, it is beta, and they do a lot of work between each beta. I think a lot of it is actually a memory leak. The problem stopped happening for me half way through the beta for some reason, but before that, I'd need to restart the program after 2-3 matches for the stuttering to go away. Didn't have any actual rubber banding, but I did have connection issues. Lost a character right beside a blue portal once because the game disconnected me and wouldn't let me back into the match. Thankfully I wasn't solo that time, and my friend killed me and took my loot.
20 Rogue is much better IMO. Keep with it. Barb requires more pots, etc to do well. Rogue can make use of this if he wants to, but doesn't really need it, and won't go as far, as movement speed is generally better, and he doesn't have a high enough health pool. But considering rogues get 50% damage coming out of stealth, 30% for stabbing in the back, and can go into stealth and move in stealth up to something like ten feet or some such, as well as the poison stacks of 4 damage a second (Stacking as I said,), you can bring down a barb generally before he can turn around. Just don't panic and shoot your load early. Some people stab coming out of stealth before they are in range.

I've done well with a horseman axe and hatchet. Not as heavy hitting but quicker follow ups. I'm guessing he has a high tier felling axe.
How do you solo? Do I need to first go in groups to get gear and only then go solo? Or can I solo without gear from the start?
getting carried is an option yeah. but i would rather just grind by myself.
I built this barb up from solo only, just focus on extracting until you get the ball rolling then you can play it like a BR
