[QUOTE="NotActuallyTim, post: 6802317, member: 6804638"] You may need to rethink your tactics. The Fighter is good in many different combat situations, but Barbarians are the tanks. If the damage coming your way is getting too hot to handle, consider dropping your greatsword and grabbing your shield, or even just dodging. Remember, if the enemy is already in a position where they're better off hitting you than anyone else, you don't actually need more of their attention. You've got it. Instead, consider dodging, or even trying to knock the enemy prone and action surge disengage. The best way to start a fight is to bring your own party favors. Denying ground to the enemy with caltrops, bottles of lamp oil and of course, rope! is a cheap opening move with AoE benefits that helps you create chokepoints where there are none, allowing you to sit back and dodge until it's time to open up a can of whoopass. Of course, if you need to both take and do all the damage, then maybe it's time to question your parties tactics, rather than your own. [/QUOTE]
