So, about frenzy and death spirals. First off, while it is true that death spirals were pretty much abandoned in D&D5, they are alive and well in other systems and I must say I enjoy them. For example, in shadowrun, being wounded reduces all your dice pools. That adds a lot of tension to battles and it's a good incentive to retreat before bodies hit the floor. Also: frenzy, limited spells per day and usable items have a place even in D&D. It enables you to push yourself when a battle is really important, accepting that you are weakened afterwards. This aspect is what makes spellcasters in earlier editions more interesting to me than in 5th edition: you have to carefully consider when going full out is necessary or worth it.

I have to disagree. At first I thought that Berserker was bad, yet the Berserker is putting more Barbarian into your barbarian. Sure the mechanics of Frenzy and exhaustion levels could have been better been, one use per long rest until 10th level, than 2 uses and 3 uses at 17th level barbarian or something along those lines. The worst part about Berserker is how Intimidating Pressens works, still it's something that can be useful outside of combat. Give the Berserker GWM at level 4 and he will maw through through mooks. Save the Frenzy for the boss fight and enjoy making 3x a GWM attack per turn. This consistant nova ability is nothing to sneeze at.

I once played a level 20 battle royal agenst my friends. My DM wanted to introduce me to his friends by having a fun battle agents each other. We were allowed three magic items. All of his friends wanted to play wizards, druids and your other spell casters in order to play with 9th level spells. When the time came, the DM was describing saying how there were floating wizards with books of Eldritch power and then he described me. A large half orc with a pretty black and red iron blade. Most of the guys were just thinking "oh, he'll never win". Battle begin's and there's spells flying, one guy turns into a dragon and it's pretty intense. It took me two turns to get into melee with a warlock. In one turn I was almost able to down him. It was a wizards turn next and he spent a 9th level and sent great flaming rocks from the sky to "kill two birds one stone" as he put it. When the smoke cleared up, they saw me completely unphased. They were surprised but thought I must have very low health left. So the dragon comes up and does some very respectful damage that should have downed me but I was still up and all of them were confused on how I was alive. My next turn I rolled and everyone watched in horror as it's head rolled of his neck. And that's how the battle pretty well went. I was able to kill the last guy and at the very end after everyone was dead, I drank a potion of health. Every one wanted to know how while me and the DM just smiled at each other. I was a half orc Zealot Barbarian (15 levels) with five levels in champion fighter. The thing about zealots is there rage last beyond death and can only stop if the are basically put under by a sleep spell. Had a vorpal blade, belt of storm giant str and a potion of health.

Had a dwarf barbarian who joined the City Watch in Waterdeep...he wanted to make a good impression, so he was very by-the-book and opted to go clean-shaven. This unfortunately had the result of him being mocked...especially by other dwarves. "Oy, hey! Get o' look at the fookin' GNOME ere...! What sort o' dwarf shaves his own beard?!" Eventually, this resulted in the barbarian losing his cool during what should have been a simple arrest...the guardsmen accidentally started a particularly violent tavern brawl. Then the tavern brawl became a riot. Then the riot became a fire which went on for several city blocks. It got so bad, that the guardsman had to flee the city...and outside the city, without the structure and laws he'd spent his life dedicating himself to...he began to hallucinate and devolve into the barbarian-state. He had visions of animal spirits, and they helped him survive outside the city. He developed very animalistic tendencies. Out of spite, however, he still shaved his beard. He became something of an urban legend...the mad, clean-shaven death-bringer of the forest, punishing law-breakers.

I'd like to speak on behalf of Frenzy (and Berserker) for a second. The ability states that during your rage you CAN enter a frenzy, which IF YOU DO SO, allows you to do a bonus attack, and applying the exhaustion after the rage is over. So, its not that after EVERY rage you get one point, its after every "Frenzy" use. And on that note, the Berserker's Abilities and overall the Barbarian's allow them to overcome some exhaustion penalties. The first level is disadvantage on ability checks, considering you're a Barbarian let loose on battle with bloodlust in your eyes, probably your most used check would be strenght for grapple, and what do you know, Rage lets you counter that with advantage on strenght checks, sure you lose said advantage but youre potentially dealing double damage, the whole thing of the subclass, disregard everything to murder some bastards. The second is half movement, which while, severe can be worked around with unarmored movement. Beyond 2 levels of exhaustion you are playing with fire, so I suggest keeping it simple at 1, and going to 2 if really, REALLY necessary. Again, its all about choice. What about saves against stuff that would harm you/control you? Yeah, this is a clear problem for damaging spells, but you're eventually an uncontrollable beast, the Berserker's Mindless Rage ability , prevents you from being charmed or scared of anything, which counters anything short of lot of damage from stopping you. *(You also get Relentless Rage at level 10, which keeps you at 1 HP) *(Forgot danger sense! That also helps against aoe spells and the such! at level 3 exhaustion. Reckless attack also counters the disadvantage for attcks from lvl 3 exhaustion, but I still think its a bit too much, 2 long rests are not easy to manage...) Besides later on you gain Barbarian's Persistent Rage, which prevents you from losing rage unless you stop it yourself or you fall unconscious, that exhaustion wont bother you until the fight is over. Not saying its a flawless subclass, but its features are there to allow for dedicated moments where you definitely need to slaughter stuff, at your own discretion. It requires a little of foresight from the player, is it worth suffering 1-2 exhaustion penalties to do a bonus attack every turn? Thats for you to choose. Thematically and gameplay wise I think it does what its supposed to do. Are the better options? Probably. Is it the best? Hardly. But is it fun to go b*alls to the walls and try to chop down your way thru a legion while probably embracing the doom ahead? Yes, yes it is, in this one's opinion. Sorry for the long rant, I've been lookin into trying this class for a while so studies have been made, and while its flavor is less charming that the others, sometimes a player just wants to put big numbers on the big baddy. Thanks for reading this far.
@liamburke3531

Mastahopo to add to it... really the barbarian alone without any of the paths is more then enough to put in the work during the early to mid levels of dnd, so you could be level four clearing out a bugbear cave with your companions and have no need to frenzy even at the end of the adventure when fighting the BBEG, of course that’s generally how things are meant to go, but dnd is a chaotic game so anything can happen but in general you don’t need to use your frenzy till your against a powerful final boss type enemy after which all the enemies are dead and the party will be looking to long rest So in short frenzy is a powerful weapon that’s best used against powerful enemies, if you find hitting things with your axe with no flavor to be boring then might I suggest grappling? Next to totem warrior the berserker is one of the better paths to take to compliment grappling

This means a 22 is possible at level 8, and this also means that people can play a Tiefling and still get decent scores. Maybe not 22 or 24, but they can rock 16 Int and still hit like a truck.

Picked Bear totem for the resistance to all damage (except psychic) because we we're facing elementals XD

Lets be real, if youre a barbarian and youre not recklessly attacking, are you really a barbarian? No. The answer is no

Why I'm not huge on Barbarians in DnD-almost all the cool stuff they do is solely combat based!

Yeas and no. Strength checks are a thing. A barbarian should be aiming for those. The only annoying thing is the requirement for rage to be attacking as it doesn't allow you to use rage for other things. The Barbarian is the guy who should be breaking walls in fights, breaking open doors with a single push. Taking trees out of the earth with his bare hands, etc... There's a flying enemy and you don't have anything ranged? Try to take a Boulder from the earth and next turn throw it. Etc... Jump walls climb things with ease. Etc.. The barbarian is kinda a superhero let him do stuff like that.

Frenzy could been so better.... What i house ruled frenzy as is that you suffer the effects of the Slow spell until you succeed at a CON Save made at the end of your turn DC = 8 + 4 (times you frenzied since your last long rest), entering a new frenzy suspends this for it's duration and finishing a short rest makes you automatically succeed at the save.

I made a level 1 edgelord elf barb that was running away from his sweet vineyard running family, he shopped at rough topic, he only used a hand axe because any bigger would be too heavy, it was hilarious

barbarian is the first class I ever played 2 years ago right a the beginning of year 7. barbarian is my personal favourite, even though the only other class I have ever played is the cleric. i really love your d&d videos, alongside, talking 20, Mr rhexx and AJ pickket. also what are your thoughts on pathfinder?

well, if you use frenzy once a day it could work well without a problem, because you can lose one frenzy after a long rest with provisions. (providing that your master doesn t use that mechanic a lot itself)

Check out the new Wild soul Barbarian. I don't play D&D yet, but I think that new subclass could offer a lot of the flavor you're looking for.

My guess is at least B tier. Even the sea hag is likely to be no lower than C tier

If the wording of a spell says the target is charmed or frightened for the duration, such as hypnotic pattern or fear, then it will work. Spells with such wording are limited by the susceptibility of the target to those conditions. Somilarly, that makes fear harder to use against halflings and hypnotic pattern against elves.

Both of those spells would quickly end a barbarians rage too if they worked

I personally love the Zealot barbarian's features more than the others and it's by far my most played barbarian. I mean I only do Radiant damage cause why necrotic but it's fine to do so I just happen to be fighting enemies who would hate to feel the holy burn than the necrotic rot. I also like it thematically and personally think most features are B to S tier, surprised you didn't have Xanatar Guide and what not.

I have a really fun barbarian build I like to run. His name is Kartagh. On the surface... He looks like your typical barbarian. Low INT, axe, loincloth... But, he's far from the brute slasher you'd expect. First of all, he only rages in the defense of himself or others; he's never really an aggressor. In fact, out of combat he's kinda a big ol teddy bear. Secondly... He's all about *battlefield control*. To go completely AL legal, he uses PHB and Xanathars. Variant human, picks up Prodigy, with expertise in Athletics. This is *very important*. That expertise is what allows him to function. And no... he's not a grappler. Goes Totem Warrior, Bear all the way, as he's supposed to be the thorn in the opponent's side that they can't remove. He picks up Shield Master at 4th level, and uses his bonus action to shove around his foes with a huge modifier to his athletics, and advantage to the check because Rage. He positions them where his allies can most often utilize their skills, and freqently shoves enemies prone so his allies have advantage too. Then it's stats, and if you have room for another feat, Sentinel makes it nearly impossible for any opponent to focus on the squishy casters behind you.

awesome content, but why cover only the PHB? you should at least include Xanathar's, i know it would make the videos longer, but i would watch:) also maybe you could rank the subclasses as a whole

Thoughts on a Yuan Ti video? I have one that is a homebrew barbarian. He is an Anaconda Yaun Ti who works as a brawler to tie down enemies like a luchador!
