Especially when you got crowds of mobs vs. you.Dex and Con are two of the important saving throws. Con is good for hitpoints (x2 for some barbarian builds)Dex Barb (seems a bit ridiculous for me personally because barb is about strength in my view) but there are ppl out there doing such builds. And if not, then Dex is a useful off Stat to raise when you got Con and Str maxed.Dex increases your hit and damage with ranged weapons too.You get immunity against you are being captured and stripped of your armor!Rage further increases your Con at capstone like some pointed out before me.Walking unarmoured rps the barbarians fearlessness. Ok you want an example: Start out human variant Str 16 Dex 14 Con 16  rest is umimportant Use bonus feat for GWMYou need 4 Stat increases to get you to 20 14 20 that's AC 17 unarmoured already.You do not need much more since you are a bag of hitpoints also at that point. 252 if you use average 7 at level 20,which is an effective 504 HP if you go bear totem except vs psychic damage.So you can just opt for another feat or 2 more in Dex.Now let us assume you would not have that unarmoured defense: You would have to run around in halfplate, lose stealth, (yuck Arnold in halfplate inconceivable! ), or get a hide armor +3 (=artefact the only correct style here or equivalent magic medium armor ) to get the same AC and lose out on HP and 2 important saves.This feat of the barb is as valuable as a clerics channel divinity or a fighters action surge imho!</blockquote>
