If he thought paladin class has been subverted "to the point it basically destroyed the concept," I wonder how he'll wrap his head around intelligence being essential on a barb?
Maybe. I find multiclassing in Pillars 2 to be terrible. It's very under-baked and lacks good design and synergies. The first one at least had defined direction in its class roles and the spells were fun to experiment with. On top the turn based combat feels tacked on and don't play very well with most abilities, encounter design and overall balance.Pillars 2 is relatively decent for combatfaggotry with the addition of multiclassing, massive improvements to itemization and turn based mode, + it also has some decent exploration. But first one sucks literally at everything.Pillars is terrible for larping and decent for combatfags.
The stat system of pillars is always going to cause controversy I'm afraid. The obvious thing is Sawyer made barbarian as one of the last at least in his head. So you have rogue for single target DPS, fighter for more sustained combat and monk for I hit harder the more harm you do to me style. That leaves the "physical melee"(not necessarily) classes with no AoE and a barbarian with no archetype to fill. Then the consequence of this is that it has to interact with stat system and become big brained(you want more aoe and duration for your shout, more aoe for your basic attack addon and more duration for your rage). Honestly fighter is better for conan esque character if you think about it.If he thought paladin class has been subverted "to the point it basically destroyed the concept," I wonder how he'll wrap his head around intelligence being essential on a barb?

Are Barbarians any good?
Barbarians I find pretty weak for the standard expected fantasy of big reckless damage.
Fucking Sawyer lmao. I guess i gotta think about this.
Why shit gotta be this retarded
I find it clean and efficient. And LOTS of synergies there.Maybe. I find multiclassing in Pillars 2 to be terrible. It's very under-baked and lacks good design and synergies.

Wrong.Reminds me why i quit this thing in the first place lmao. Why shit gotta be this retarded. Barbarians hitting people in the head with their thesaurus.
Barbarians in PoE aren't your usual barbarians.
If you're playing Conan as Robert E Howard envisioned, then you should have high int. Howard's Conan was smart (e.g. learning new languages effortlessly).
Gygax agreed

Barbarians didn't exist as a class in Gygax's D&D when he made the character sheet.Except that in the DnD Conan module, his class in not Barbarian at all you noob...
