Disruptive Strike is a good staple that can negate a hit almost every encounter and does good damage. I find powers like Sweeping Whirlwind to be very versatile even though they are not very much liked by optimizers. It gives you a way to deal with minions and swarms, and pushing and knocking targets prone is always good, if you can deny them charge targets, if you have a wizard or invoker who dazes them, etc.With the Barbarian, my favorite is easily the Thaneborn because of all the ways I get to help the rest of the party. Love the versatility of Pressing Strike, I like playing bowling with Brutal Slam, dance around the battlefield with Vault the Fallen to hand out my bonuses, and am fond of a number of rages like Thunder Hawk Rage knocking people down right and left.You might also consider Monk. They do start out a bit fragile, but that weakness can be covered through various means. Halflings, Half-orcs and Githzerai I think all make fun and interesting monks and all have racial defensive measures. Githzerai become very sturdy at paragon level. And their powers are loads of fun, and great for party cooperation if your party has the right tools for forced movement utilization.</blockquote>
