Hey folks,

Let me preface this with the fact that I generally dislike Barbs and have often gone to great lengths to play them as say Wolf builds etc to just get the past life then I managed when the did the pass to do a TWF Heavy Pick build that didn't suck too badly even through epics (Ravager 38pts, Frenzied Berserker 41 and the umbiquitus 1 pt in human damage boost when it still was good to get). I ended up doing that a few lives on a couple of my toons. I still hate to dismiss Rage to use a scroll or clickies but I have did get somewhat better about that in the end.

Now I am in the process of finishing a completionist on an alt who mostly has Scimitars for melee weapons but is primarily a Druid caster type. So I am wondering given the current state of Barbs if its decent with TWF Scimitars or should I just grab a Great Axe until I pick up a Riftmaker and use that mostly until at least 20. Also which of the Tree's given the changes is worthy these days. I admit I am tempted to go for that mass PK thing just to fiddle with this time but I know there have been a bunch of changes with the tree's that I really haven't paid much attention to it.

So which sort of style of Barb is your preferences these days folks?  I am going to assume a pure build but I am open to others.

FB getting the full crit range multipliers was a big upgrade.

I'm playing FB atm. Ravager healing is nice but I feel like another split is more effective.
