And the fact that the true barbarian capstone is at level 17.APG (take a look in the SRD if you don't have the book yet) loves deeply the barbarian. Human Barbarians are impervious to a lot of magic thanks to the superstition boost. A lot of archetypes make him far more durable, Come and get me is scary, and Barb can get pounce (3 rage powers in total, but prerequisites are more natural attacks).You can find more combos with feats (you can build a barbarian able to pounce, and in the same turn drop by a bullrush every enemy in the path dealing to him damage).Knockdown adds goodies to the control department.Point is, Fighter is better in using weapons and armor.. not a surprise. But Barbarian is very spicy, and has a combat style with sudden surges of true power (+54 in a CMB check, istasunder of an armor).You just have to understand what each class can do for you and play by it.</blockquote>
