I've just made my way out of Tortage and I'm in Cimmeria now. I'm lvl 20 and I'm playing my Barbarian 2 hander style and wrecking stuff all over. I was taking a look through my spell book and noticed I had like 6 ranks of Cunning strike already and I now have 2 ranks of Butcher. Now here is where I'm confused, I feel like I should be using the highest rank of Cunning strike because it does the most damage but Butcher rank 2 does less damage than Butcher rank 1. Is that normal? Should I have both Butchers on my action bars ? Are there cases where I should have multiple ranks of a skill on my actions bars?
In addition what about skills like Slam or Sweep? I took them off my bars because they seem to do crap damage and I feel like they are just skills that the game gives you to start with. Is that right ?
Lastly, I wanna know what are some feats to grab in my level range. I'm not really into the dual wield side of the Barb so should I stay out of the Reaver tree ? As of right now I do have 5 points in the first feat in the Reaver tree to grab the xtra weapon damage and 1 point to get Blitz ( I love this skill and can't play a melee class in any game that doesn't have a type of charge skill). All my other points have been in filling up the first feat in Berserker for the extra Constitution. Where should i go from there? The one that increases ur chance to crit everytime you don't get a crit looks cool. Any advice would help. TY.
Please feel free to keep this thread going as a place for Leveling Barbarians to ask questions.
