It occurred to me that it is not necessary to develop new enhancement trees for new archetypes.
That's what I tried. What do you think about it?

Totem Warrior - Barbarian archetype
I used the bear and wolf forms, as I think they are the only druid animal forms that can be paired with the barbarian. Although it can be further expanded with additional totems and forms - even for druids.

- Bear totem (Warden): Occult Slayer,Frenzied Breserker & Nature's Protector | ver 2. Occult Slayer, Nature's Protector & Vanguard
Gain:
- Level 1: Choose your totem: Wolf or Bear & gain Druidic Oath
- Level 2: Wild Emphaty
- Level 3 Totem's power (cooldown 12/6sec): Maul (bear) or Takedown (wolf)

Totems
Totems
You partially take on the form of your totem for the duration of your rage. While breaking the oath, cannot use totem and drudic powers (totem form & totem's powers, natures tree), but you can rage as normal barbarian.
You become half-wolf (~werewolf) or half-bear. This is not a complete transformation, you still use your own weapons and equipment. You do not gain natural weapons, can't learn/use Natural Fighting, you still use the weapon styles.
Barbarian rage grants the following addition bonuses in totem form:
Wolf totem form:
- +10% Combat Style bonus to attack speed,
- +10% enhancement bonus to movement speed,
- +3 bonus to attack while flanking,
- +1d6 sneak attack damage,
- -2 penalty to Intelligence and Charisma.
- +2 racial bonus to constitution,
- +10% exceptional bonus to AC,
- all basic attacks Strikethrough as long as you are not in the Defensive Fighting stance,
- -2 penalty to Intelligence and Charisma.
A good part of your Druid-derived abilities (from Nature tree) are only available this way for the duration of the rage (should be treated as equivalent to the wolf or bear forms in Nature trees).
You don't have spell points, you have to get it from other sources for magical abilities. (wolf: Ghost Wolf Pack, Alpha Strike --- bear: Great Maul, Lightning Strikes the Mountain)
