[QUOTE="BlightCrawler, post: 4914982, member: 4931"] Thanks for the build Erywin, that's some good crunch to chew on. Mort: Yeah. I went to the game store and flipped through the AV and saw my hope was not to be. But, the double weapons in the AV do have better damage output than the ones in Eberron. So that is one possibility. As for the powers, I was mainly looking at the level 1s, and the encounter powers that didn't require two weapons were wisdom based (which isn't terrible even for an Elf barbarian, but not ideal). But, you helped remind me that I won't even be able to select any ranger powers until level four at the earliest, so its not so bad as there are a couple of options at level 3. But for example, if you look at the level 5 dailies (in the PHB) they are all either two weapon or ranged, and level 9 only gives you one choice. Perhaps the better option is to consider more utilities? I haven't looked closely at those yet. It was just some frustrating limitations when looking at the lower level attack powers. Mainly, however, I wanted to test the water to make sure that I wasn't missing something that got around the limitations as I was seeing them in regards to weapon choice. I can at least better decide if this is a path I was to pursue for my character or not. I may stick with a pure barbarian or investigate another class that fits the concept (perhaps Warden or Druid). We are doing round robin DMing, so it's all group consensus. But, setting aside that I shy away from playtest rules, I'm also keen on giving multiclass a shake and this combo fits my character concept. Though, hybrid is definitely appealing, if it doesn't work out, I'll just try a pure barbarian as I haven't played one. [/QUOTE]
