[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 9602288, member: 6716779"] Rage weakness is initiative and you'll probably not have it every fight. It's situational imho what ones better. In a real game I wouldn't bother with 19AC or the toughness feat. Running Sunless Citadel now. Poison, fire and frost damage were around. Rage probably avaliable 50-75% of the time may or may not be effective depending on the situation (initiative, other types of damage). The two classes are neck and neck. Fighters more reliable imho. Situationally the Barbarian can beat it. Because the Barbarian is situational (encounter, initiative and critical hit depending) though the fighter beats it. 1st. Fighter 2nd Barbarian* (maybe a tie) 3rd and 4th Ranger and Clerics (buffed cure spells). * situationally. IMHO. Let's face it the barbarians probably not using a shield either. Barbarian wins most damage level 3. If you have to invent situations the barbarian is better you've already lost the argument. It can outperform the fighter. Sometimes. [/QUOTE]
