My multiplayer crew has 2 healers, so I went with tiger heart and wolf aspect. Combined with Great weapons master and the extra attack you get at level 5. Ive got an amulet of Misty step. I zap right in the middle of it, absolutely bananas.
Thanks for the video, will try this build when I get Karlach. 5:45 You can drag & drop the passive from your spellbook to your main bar, no need to switch to the passives bar each time you want to toggle it.
I made a Tanky boy: 16, 14, 16, 8, 12, 8. Gold Dwarf (+1hp/lvl) Wildheart Barb with the Bear Heart. I use a shield and a melee that allows me to charge in, like a longsword. Feat: Tough (+2hp/lvl). Aspect of the Stallion. It really takes a while to die :D
Honestly, no point in playing barb at this point. Just go fighter with maneuvers and 10 dex and you can heavy armor stack with shield. Barb needs 2 handers

Started Baldur's Gate 3 earlier this week and made my character based on my real DND character. He's a Half Orc barabrian named Oog Boog. Because I'm not too familiar with C-RPGs, I was intimidated and lost by the number of features this game has to offer. This video was a huge help in showing me what upgrades and skills to get and what to do in combat. Thank you!!!
running around 20 str , 18 dex (with gloves) and 20 con at level 8. Maybe I shoulda grabbed feats but i sure do like them 20s. There is no reason I have hear not to wear medium armor. You get the right setup and you have 20 ac vs 14 at 18 dex barbarian.
Just depends on the set up and itemization. If you have 18 Dex and 20 Con, Then with the Barb class features that should be +4 and +5 to AC putting you at 19. There are also items, such as a set of gloves call Brace the Bulwark that if unarmored boost your AC by two so your to 21 if you had the 18 and 20 naturally of via non glove enhancements. So not sure what that would do in your case as your using the Dex boost gloves, but those are some of the examples of how it can go both ways.
I really like the Elk Wildhearth, for the consistent mobility. Also, question about the save attacker feat: how does that work when you have an advantage like in reckless attack? You do two dice rolls with two dice each? Meaning you essentially throw 4 dice and pick the highest number? That would really improve your chances at getting a crit.
If you're talking about Savage Attacker, it's not giving you bonus attack rolls. It's essentially giving you advantage on your damage rolls. So it wouldn't increase your chance of hitting a critical, but it'll generally lead to your damage rolls being more consistent and higher across the board
Currently the game views shields as armor and will drop your barbarian bonus. Sadly i made adamantiums plate and shield and even though my AC is equivalent with the shield (Shadowheart is wearing the armor) the no crits of using the shield is huge. I found a nice strength robe. The down side is with a shield I have not found any good 1 handed weapons for Karlach.
great video, im playing the campaign with my 2 cousins and 1 of their gfs, full family party pretty fun. using a custom barb, sadly made it a dwarf didnt see half orc had the big dmg using berserker atm but im wondering if wildheart is better
Despite Half Orc's really good racial bonuses dwarves are my favorite for barbarian tbh. The extra hp is awesome and being short has its advantages(mainly outside of combat, in early access i found there was a ton of dwarf-specific dialogue and tiny places you can get into with ease).
Champion doesn't do much for your crits after level 3 and you definitely don't want to start as Champion as it's the most boring class to play on it's own. It's just click to attack and that's it, basically. Playing a pure Barbarian is more fun (and if you play well, also stronger). So you want to go Half-Orc Barbarian (Berseker) character levels 1-5 to get that sweet additional attack at level 5 asap (more attacks = more damage). Then you go 3 levels of Fighter (Champion) to improve your crit chance and to get Action Surge. Then go back to Barbarian levels again to get Brutal Critical in the end.
@@FernandoHernandez-jw4yy Yea I found it a bit boring but wanted the crit and wondered if there was a way to make it work with something else. Thanks for the info really cleared it up for me, would I be able to wear heavy armour with a setup like that or would it effect the rage ?
@@dylanbloomfield8380I think heavy armor inhibits rage. You’re best off going with medium armor & 14 Dex or going unarmored with more Dex investment. If you’re going to multiclass with Champion, it’s probably a good idea to go with either the Great Weapon Master or Dual Wielder feats. The former makes your crits hit a lot harder when they land, while the latter will give you more opportunities to crit with an extra attack each turn. Great thing about Fighter is at lv 1 you can choose the appropriate fighting style for your build.
@@Guilherme56964 You can use Rage, you just have to pop it prior to transforming. But yes it is lessened due to the UI restrictions when you get into Animal form and Reckless goes away.
@@Guilherme56964 It's not ideal but not a total loss either. I rarely need more than one rage per fight and with wild form of bear that should be even more so as you tank.
Dex reduces the chance of enemies knocking you out of Frenzy. Also gives a decent amount of acc. Those big hits won't do much if you miss'em every second turn. And lastly, the RP aspect, detecting traps, find hidden stuff.
Since barbarians cannot wear heavy armor, dex is actually a good stat on them. I wouldn't really bump it more than 14 for base, but gear can boost this higher
So i'm torn between the berzerker and the wildheart. Which one is better from a dps point of view? Also, is it better to get those abilities up on lvk 4 or the great weapon master?
man i would love it if we could take 2 or even 3 bestial hearts i think it would be super fun to use each for a different situation without having to respec

👍, liked her
I Kill Her for the Sword as Paladin. ;-)
@@El_Cattivo1988 What sword? Please do not answer if spoiler is too big...😉
my favorite
She looks kickass and is even cute when you romance her so she is easily my nr 1 (Also Barb = BIG Di*k DMG)

Sounds fun, might give it a try!
What armor do You use with this build? Or no armor at all for the passive?
@@alexferrier5732 great question

I'm so glad they buffed Frenzy in this. The Exhaustion penalty is so unnecessarily rough.
Berserker Barbarian with Tavern Brawler feat is (as of the current patch) a bit overpowered, IMHO.
I'll have to try it! The Barbarian is pretty OP in general I think, haha.
The power to throw an enemy into another one 30 feat away, instantly killing both is pretty hilarious to me 😂

Half orc tiger heart + tiger aspect and wolverine aspect = op. Personally I think only berserker throwing build can match that utility and dmg
Been playing drow zerker Barb just for all the extra dialogue people have it’s been pretty interesting
I would run a LvL 6 Barb + LvL 6 Fighter very basic, but hard hitting Crits:
Race: Half-Orc
17STR / 14DEX / 15CON / 8INT / 10W / 10CHA
Weapon: Heavy Two-handed
LvL1: Barb
LvL2: Barb
LvL3: Barb Wildheart: Tiger Heart
LvL4: Barb Feat: ASI +1STR / +1CON
LvL5: Barb
LvL6: Barb Animal Aspect: Tiger
LvL7: Fighter Fighting Style: Great Weapon Fighting
LvL8: Fighter
LvL9: Fighter Champion
LvL10: Fighter Feat: Great Weapon Master
LvL11: Fighter
LvL12: Fighter Feat: ASI: +2 STR
Yeah sometimes it's just easier to throw armor on a barb instead of playing the min maxing game, it's still really high.
thanks breh, this helps... games complex compared to other RPGs i've played
90 sec in u gave me info I didn't know already. Thx
Didn't mention the titan string bow.
Didn't mention the special potion in act 2 that gives a permanent +2 to strength score.
Just want to say that half orc crit isn't triple damage, it just rolls an extra d6 to add for the crit
It depends on your weapon, with greataxe which deals 1d12 it adds anothere 1d12 but for greatsword which deals 2d6 it adds only 1d6
running around 20 str , 18 dex (with gloves) and 20 con at level 8. Maybe I shoulda grabbed feats but i sure do like them 20s. There is no reason I have hear not to wear medium armor. You get the right setup and you have 20 ac vs 14 at 18 dex barbarian.

@@YourMaxii Oh right, I forgot the distinction between attack rolls and damage rolls.
just wear medium armor, wth the dex glove you can get up to 20 AC on barb....
Get misty step for your barb asap

the legendary trident can work?
a berserking thief swings for days
i cant wait for path of the giant
nice guide im loving berserker barbarian rn so strong
Glad your enjoy it! Are you running Karlach in your party or playing as the Barb?
@@norzza made custom babarian but kind of look like karlach but with white hair and very cool eye tattoo. playing with 2 of my friend :)
Nice! Hope you have a great time :D
some dudes did some math regarding "savage attacker" feat and turns out it's pretty useless vs GWM
Im solo level 9 Zerker Barb, thinking about going wildheart
I really don't know why anyone wouldn't wear medium armor with a barbarian. It's just better most of the time.
great video, im playing the campaign with my 2 cousins and 1 of their gfs, full family party pretty fun. using a custom barb, sadly made it a dwarf didnt see half orc had the big dmg using berserker atm but im wondering if wildheart is better
I prefer wild heart. You can always respec to wild heart, try out, if you don't like it respec back.
@@norzza This! The only things you can't respec are race and background.

5 Berserker 5 theif 2 fighter savage attacker and tavern brawler
Thoughts on multiclassing into champion 3 levels ? Or flipping it 3 points in barb rest in champion for the crit?

really thinking going with Karlach as Wildheart Barb/Moon Druid after respec. i think this could be the ultimate tank if made right.
I tried it and it doesn't work well like in 5e.. u cant use rage while in animal form, nor reckless attack
@@Guilherme56964 You can use Rage, you just have to pop it prior to transforming. But yes it is lessened due to the UI restrictions when you get into Animal form and Reckless goes away.
@@JarrenBlake yes but ur capped to only using 1 rage by wild shape, pretty mid

Why Dex when it's pure melee? Struggling to understand this.
Dex reduces the chance of enemies knocking you out of Frenzy.
Also gives a decent amount of acc.
Those big hits won't do much if you miss'em every second turn.
And lastly, the RP aspect, detecting traps, find hidden stuff.
Dex is for initiative and armor class, not accuracy (unless you're building a dex barb) nor resisting getting knocked out of frenzy
Since barbarians cannot wear heavy armor, dex is actually a good stat on them. I wouldn't really bump it more than 14 for base, but gear can boost this higher
i just leveled 2 on my zariel and none of the options are open its just the other classes so idk what to pick
Why is there a disadvantage in great weapon master: all in? 4:12
It's not a disadvantage, but it's stating you have a minus to your roll.
GWM gives you +10 damage, but a -5 to the hit roll.
thats the skill -5 hit +10 dmg use it sparingly, can deactivate it on the hotbar anytime
Is there a way to change what you picked at level 3 to something else
theres is a npc called withers that once you find him he can re spec you for 100 gold. lets you reset all skills from lvl 1.
@xnalaga thank you! I found Withers early on he's been so helpful so far I didn't know he could do that tho yay
So i'm torn between the berzerker and the wildheart. Which one is better from a dps point of view?
Also, is it better to get those abilities up on lvk 4 or the great weapon master?
Berzerker for DPS. Wild Heart Bear for tankiness. But there's a lot more combinations that might change the Barb meta near endgame.
I don't like karlach so much as barbarian as her race's skills can't be used during rage, as a fighter maybe
I cast axe.
its pronounced mel-lay
She Love's Annie'MAy;She likes May'LAy;they call her Mai'LAY
Words can be pronounced more than one way. For example Pro-nounced or Pruhnounced
rage would of been a useful skill if you didnt need to use an action to ignight it. i respecced karlack to warrior.
man i would love it if we could take 2 or even 3 bestial hearts i think it would be super fun to use each for a different situation without having to respec
