Honestly I was laughing during half this thread lol. "Barbarians for a better tomorrow", it sounds like you're doing a fund raiser for barbarians so they can afford a home.
Technically barbarians do lack book smarts, but there is a clear difference between book smart and street smart
The barbarians have the "street smarts" of the old medieval times, even though they don't know algebra or calculus, they know advance techniques on hunting, how to survive, combat, and more.|||Quote:
they know advance techniques on ... how to survive....
Sounds like a Ranger skill in some RPG's. Guild Wars has Wilderness Survival but for a Ranger, not a Warrior. I wonder how that can help Barbs. The Barb of D2 has the shouts that give extra skills or whatever. How could something like Wilderness Survival help the Barb of D3? Open for discussion...|||How? They improve the "Find XXX" line!
Level 1: Find Potion
Level 6: Find Item
Level 12: Make a Monster Shishkabob
Level 18: Make a Fire
Level 24: Build TV
Level 30: Summon a Courtesan
It's the perfect line and has easy to make synergies! Like Find Potions will recover a bottle of ketchup, and then you eat a nice fallen leg that you roasted over the fire while watching TV and get... entertained by the courtesan!|||Barbarians are this close to having cannons and zeppelins, if they just let Larzuk do his thing. Even the Middle Easterners haven't gotten much further than everyone else, other than having the best drugs. At this rate, the barbarians will be on the moon in 50 years.|||Quote:
viking poets
Vikings also developed more advanced armor, weapons, navigation and ship technologies than any other European culture had at the time. They were more into personal hygiene than what was common and they treated women as equals (they should be in the house of course, but their opinion meant something), which was unheard of in most parts of the world.
The vikings are a prime example to show that you can be sophisticated, intelligent, fearless and bloodthirsty all at the same time which then illustrates that even though the barbarian might be a brutal melee fighter relying on muscle, he doesnt have to be stupid. In fact he wouldnt have survived that long if he was.|||I was taught in school that the term Barbarian derived from the Roman word for beard or bearded one. It was used to differentiate the romans (who liked to be clean shaven) from those northern non-romans (that wore beards).
Was this fallacy?|||Google is your friend. The romans and greeks had different words -
Greeks - barbaros - foreign
Latin - barbarus - bearded
Today - barbers - Sworn and Eternal Enemies of Barbariakind|||Personally, I think barbarians are the best melee character they could have chosen, the whole concept of the barbarian is so cool to me.. A prideful nomadic warrior with an acute sense of the wild and an unchallenged mastery of hand to hand combat. A barbarian is widely understood to be a giant brute force which is unmatched in straight up melee combat. Other characters like a knight would be too similar to a paladin, and a warrior is kind of overused and boring, not to mention that it was already corrupted in the first one. It just seems to me that, if your going to make a character that is based on pure melee, a barbarian would have to be that character.|||The Barbarian seemed dumber in Diablo 2 than he does in Diablo 3. He's clearly matured a bit and instead of hooting and hollering like the Hulk, he seems to have been given an intelligent-sounding accent and seems totally capable of potentially using big words. So I think you're not giving Blizzard any credit here. :P|||Barbarians are whirling, raging, out of control monsters in battle.
The enemies are whirling, raging, out of control monsters in battle.
Hmmm....it seems the heros, the barbarians, are emulating the devils they fight against. I'll go with knights any day.
Think about it; aren't screaming warcries, going into a mad frenzy, mimicing a whirling devil, and going berserk the types of things evil monsters do?
