You need an "undecided" option on the poll. I have no idea which I'll do first; and not just because I figure they'll change a lot between now and the game. They don't really specialize that much; it's not like one is all about ranged attacks and the other is all about raising defense; there seems to be a nice variety of skills in each.
I'm be curious to see how much mixing and matching will be viable. I doubt we'll see any synergies, but if the passives and actives are set up to require lots of points to become useful, then everyone will just stick to one tree and build up their main skills. If we get a lot of bonus skill points in quest rewards, or from +equipment, or the skills don't allow that many invested points, then we'll see more varied builds, with multi-tree use, or at least loading up on some of the tier 1 and 5 passives in other trees.
This man speaks the truth. I figure my first barbarian will probably be almost a "trail" character anyway, to see how the skills work in the game and what I like doing etc.|||Quote:
Juggernaut for me! 2-handed mace along with Leap Attack from the Berserker tree!.
Barb will be named M.C. Hammer, and I'll leap attack while yelling "It's Hammer Time!" and Ground Stomp while saying, "Can't Touch This!"
lol...unless I get the name MC Hammer first
|||All the trees look really interesting.Juggernaut seems to be the 2-hander focused tree, with lots of AoE attacks and stuns.
Berserker is the dual wield tree, which appears to be more fast paced due to skills like preventing against fury degeneration, allowing health to regen, and a more offensive approach. Interesting they put whirlwind in here too.
And my favorite Battlemaster. Seems really heavily defense oriented with lots of survivability/defense based passives and shield specialization. I also really like that Hammer of the Ancients is included in this tree. Lets you sit there and soak up fury then start wasting whomever with massive HoA crits.|||Quote:

This how it will be for me too. It will be alot of testing and so on to see what is good plus one doesn't know how the final skills will look like when they are done since it is still a long time until they will be done.|||i used to use the "tank" character first in games because they were always the most basic and easiest to learn the game with, i think bliz changed that around with the barb and his fury system. great idea imo to make a usually basic character alot more interesting|||Quote:

I hope so. Barb was sooooooo easy to play in DII.|||barb was really boring imo, very basic, i kept trying different builds with him and they were either complete crap or still boring lol|||I can't wait to start a HC barbarian full invested in Frenzy, Whirlwind, Leap and some passives, like the dodge one, the nmerous boosts to fury, speed damage, and so on. It is the most similar to classic barbs and looks kinda fun with the new Fury. Sounds like a very busy barb without a second to pause. By far a long way different from the boring in D2 thanks to that Fury issue.
Then my easy election is the Berserker tree. Granted.
If I start a Barb (I suppose it will be my second or third char), I will make this way, picking just some passives and useful skills from the other 2 trees:
Juggernaut tree and those active skills... I don't like them too much, except this stun skill named Ground Stomp (I'm used to play in hc with the appropiate warcries to stun the enemies), and perhaps Focused Strength and 2-Handed Specialization (only if I don't go with 2 weapons ofc), and Taunt. Inspiration looks ok, too. But I dislike those powerful skills like SS or Revenge. I won't take any of them.
From the Battlemaster I'm not sure, I think there are many useful skills for my minded build. I like the warcries for boost defense and damage (and critical hits ofc), resistances and things like that. But I dislike a lot the active battlemaster skills like Hammer of the Ancients or Charge (I prefer the classic Jumps of the barb, more fun by far), or the "cheat" skill for resurrect. If I ever make a Barb (hc ofc) I think I'll never pick up this noob and chicken skill, except if the difficulty of the game is high enough to prove me wrong and make me a complete noob in D3.
Zerker barb, baby.|||I'm thinking a Juggernaut with a big hander will be fun for me ^^.|||Quote:
