Heya, what's the Warlock level for? Can't quite figure it out. For instance, I feel like Eldritch Aura doesn't seem to do much without investment? The FvS level seems to be for the attack and trance, at least.

The "minimally ideal" version of this 18/1/1 build is going to have:
  • 41 APs Vistani Knife Fighter for capstone (+5% attack speed +20 Melee Power)
  • 34 APs Frenzied Berserker for Death Frenzy, Focused Wrath, and Raging Blows
  • 16 APs Razorclaw for Overwhelming Shifting
  • 2 APs Warpriest / -Soul for Divine Might / Will
  • 1 AP Enlightened Spirit for ES Aura
94 APs total. If you have more than that, spend them where you like.

I’d go razerclaw then 20 levels of barb and use hand wraps.

18/1/1 isn’t necessarily better depending on what you’re trying to do.

So, been using the build laid out above, but feel like I'm missing something about it. At level 15 with the usual Sharn gear, the build was killing stuff fast and easily, but still taking enough damage to where I had to occasionally stop and heal with potions. At 18-19 it slowed down in both power and how frequently I'd have to stop and heal. Now in early epics, I have to stop to heal after every pack of mobs. Taking a lot of damage and taking a while to kill even Borderlands Elite mobs.

Wearing a full epic Saltmarsh set + epic Borderlands tetris, even with some augments and such, with elite Adamantine Knuckles.

Am I missing something about healing on this build, or is it just Razorclaw Shifters aren't that good during leveling and this is indeed how it's supposed to go?

Use T5 ravager for smooth leveling as a barbarian.
Thanks, this has been working better. The build still isn't great at damage, but that T5 Ravager heal procs way more than I initially thought it would when I first read the tooltip. That said, still isn't working great, even with all the right gear. Not sure what I'm missing about RCS/barb, but it doesn't seem great for leveling.
