Every inconsistency has a valuable roleplay opportunity... ; ) A barbarian could use a Belt of Giant Strength, at least until they reach a high level. But...! You could say that at a certain point, the barbarian is relying on it as a crutch, and not developing their true strength. Upon reaching a high level, perhaps the barbarian casts this belt aside, perhaps giving it to an ally. Maybe the belt is conditioning the barbarian to become strong...perhaps it has both the power and WEIGHT of a giant, and the barbarian capstone is the ultimate reward of bearing this titanic weight.

I know I'm a bit late to this video, but I wanna throw my hat into the ring on the topic of Sword & Board/Armoured Barbarians: In a campaign I recently joined the party composition was very odd. Their frontline tank was the Monk, with the Cleric having the highest AC but not really getting in close and the rest of the party essentially being glass cannons. So to amend that, I chose to go for a Warforged Barbarian who used a Longsword and a Shield. This is so that not only do I have a shit tonne of AC due to my maxed out Con, I also had a fuck tonne of health. I also took the Martial Adept feat in order to get Goading Strike to try and keep the attention on me instead of everyone else. DPS wasn't my priority as we had a Rogue, a Warlock, an Artificer etc etc for chunking enemies, I was there to draw aggro to try and stop the glass cannons from shattering. Having poor stats as an individual isn't the only reason to go for Armour & Shield Barb, party composition matters too.

Javelin of lightning makes me think of the unexpectables

Also, with the Belt of Giant Str, when you hit that Capstone, you can just free up an attunement slot, assuming you're not rocking something that isn't much higher.

Very intuitive perspective thanks for the lists!

Barbs can also greatly use Boots of Speed. They already get 10 extra movement speed later on, but with a click of their heels as a BA they can double their movement speed for up to 10 minutes a day, all for just 1 attunement slot. Most enemies are gonna shit themselves when the 300 pound orc barb wielding a giant axe rushes them down faster than a panther.

While that is an interesting interaction, I would argue that it (arguably) makes the Cloak of Displacement weaker because it stops functioning for the rest of the round once the wearer takes damage - which is obviously much more likely while recklessly attacking.

Dragon Scale Mail is a good option armor option, as it gives a resistance along with some defenses against dragons if your campaign do have them. Frostbrand is a good weapon as it gives fire resistance along with 1d6 cold damage. Ring of Warmth, also gives a cold resistance and good if you want to be in loincloth in the cold. Ring of Free Action, prevents two conditions that can end your rage prematurely, and helps reach those hard to get enemy. Spellguard Shield. Along with all the resistances also having advantage on saves / attacks have disadvantage is quite neat. Possibly reducing damage down to a quarter from spells. Only redundancy is that barbarian already have advantage on dex saves, but the shield would cover the bigger weaknesses of wis/int saves.

Cloak of invisibility and robe of scintillating colors. I've had great success with the latter, just got the cloak.

Personal generic attunement list: Belt of Dwarvenkind, -Cape of the Mountebank- and Winged Boots Also Adamantium Half-Plate. No need to worry about reckless attacking increasing enemies crit chance whilst pretty much always hitting and this good stuff doesn't require attunement and is uncommon! In my experience with barb, it is super good to have the guaranteed safety so you can stay in melee and have no worries to get suddenly critted. I have also noticed that it doesn't really matter what weapon you are holding in your hand, str and rage added to a die usually hits pretty hard even with a dagger. +3 longsword is rather close to best weapon as it is a versatile weapon that allows you to grapple when needed. Grappling to make enemies stay next to you is really nice!

My Barbarian has the cape of montebank and uses it to get into combat faster, or to teammates who are going down. He loves it, and it never occurred to me to use it offensively instead of defensively

super helpful thank you

Medium armor is the most under rated magic item for Barbarians. Unarmored defense is cool but in most cases you’ll be boosting strength first meaning your AC isn’t going up until level 12 at the earliest.

A good point about giving a high level belt of giant strength could be that it enables your player to multiclass, since they don't have to completely give up on that juicy capstone. There are some really cool combos with barbarians.

Gotta say tho if you have a rogue with sentinel you’re better off giving them the displacement cloak so when you get hit they get a sneak attack

Nice list

I got lucky that my DM allowed a magic item to be purchased that set my Barbarians DEX to 19. With my 18 CON it gives my lvl 8 101hp Bear Totem Barbarian 18 AC. Would like to pick of Bracers of Defense too and swap them with the magic earrings our party wears to communicate to get a tasty AC of 20. Although AC doesn't matter as much since we are running SKT and those giants all have a ridiculous +hit, it's still nice to have. The Animated Shield sounds pretty good but needing a bonus action to activate it kinda messes with going into rage the first round of combat.

Speaking of ranging as a barb, my dm homebrew me a special ring of jumping I don’t suffer the limit of my move speed in the jump and can attack once on the landing either way it’s my action, it’s well balanced and a ton of fun

Currently have a half orc level 5 barb with 4 levels in path of the beast taking the tough feat and 1 in fighter taking the interception fighter style. Background is that my guy comes from a tribe that lives in the belief of a good defence is a good offence (short version). His tribes artifact (which he has recovered) is a shield of missile attraction. Works perfectly for how I've designed him and funnily enough he now wears half plate (became good friends with a fighter and they have become a duo and he wears the half plate to match his friend) giving him a 19 AC. The DM use to drop Gnolls on the party a lot while travelling (2 per player) and the first time he used them after I attuned to the shield, all 16 shots went to my guy and only three would have gotten through (DM was a bit salty and declared instead of shooting they moved into melee even though he had already declared all the attacks. Was kinda pissed that my character was robbed of his chance of saving the party from a shitload of damage.

I feel the dwarven thrower is a must have for any battlerager barbs. Since the battlerager is a barb type mostly focused on passive damage in close proximity, it's a really good weapon to have to deal damage at range, whilst you close those distances. As a finessed weapon, its versatile, and having what is essentially Thor's hammer just makes it all the more fun.

I believe the most op magical item for barbarian is helm of teleportation... it's a rare magical item, it has 3 charges and 1d3 recharge daily at dawn. It can be use in a ton of ways depending on how big is your imagination. Your are also almost unkillable with it. You just have to save 1 charge in case things go messy and you need to escape. My GM banned it tho for obvious reasons. :(

Flametongue Greatsword is obscenely powerful for a barbarian. Once you get brutal critical it goes from 8d6's of dmg from a crit to 12d6's and even on a normal strike you are doing 4d6's of dmg.

I'm afraid brutal crits and great swords don't mix well. A normal crit would indeed get 8d6, but a single damage die is only one extra, so it becomes 9d6 (though you get to decide if it is fire or slashing).

I wold have discussed at least one way to boost wisdom saves, which are a huge weakness for barbarians (less so for berserkers). The best is of course taking resilient wis feat, but you can't always fit it in the build, hence having at least cloack/ring of protection to me is a no-brainer

Amulet of Health has the same problem as Belt of Giant Strength by setting it at a certain number but the increase in health. and AC if Unarmored, can be really good if you have a 14 or 15 in Constitution!

I'm so lucky my Barbarian is a natural powerhouse, having maxed out Strength, 17 Dex and 18 Con at level 8, so I can already start focusing on closing the gaps in his playstyle. I am still wearing halfplate atm, but might either go with Adamantine armor if it comes across or go unarmored with the bracers if I find them, though going unarmored would be a major plotpoint for me (We're playing in a magical highschool setting with my character transforming into a Dragonborn Barbarian inspired by Power Rangers, Ultraman and the like, so going armorless would be like a major moment where his armor breaks and reforms as his skin (just some flavor stuff) and he sheds the hero he wanted to be and just be his true self).

which item would you recommend to have a wild magic?

Cloak of protection(+1AC) is also a good item. With the bracers and 14vin bot con and dex you habe a AC of 17 wich is Not bad^^

A ring of spell storing. A lot of melee classes lack the use of a bonus action in combat. Store a Shield Spell, dimension door or something in the ring for the barbarian to use if needed. you can store 3 or 4 lvl's of spells in such a ring. I've also created a sentient artifact greataxe for the barbarian at my table. having an Azer essence in it. gradually unlocking abilities of the artifact through meditation on his totems and other quests. Adding a fire wave in front of the barbarian. to off-set the lack of an AoE is one of the things. basically a fireball damage amount, smaller area in front of the barbarian, 2 uses per long rest. at the risk of turning the enemy to cinder and making it unlootable. except for the magic items and such.

Belt of Dwarvenkind would make an illiterate character literate it Dwarven. In the same way that it makes a species who cannot see in the dark be able to see in the dark.

belts of giant strength are probably better on a paladin. They are tight for ASI and it can really help. Same for melee cleric Two handed weapons have a huge damage advantage compared to sword and board if you take feats in consideration. polearm master and great weapon master pack a lot of punch. Add sentinel and you can tank a lot better by lockdown ennemies wich as a melee character is very useful

surprised not to see ring of free movement. it gives you immunity to immobilizing effects such as hold person. magic like hold person and sleep is one of the biggest weaknesses of most barbs, and this basically eliminates it.

Cloak/Ring of Protection are way better than Bracers of Defense that +1 to your saves is way better that the extra +1 to AC the Bracers give you. When you reckless attack that +1 AC doesnt really mean anything.

I am pretty darn sure that you are wrong about the Belt of Dwarvenkind. With your example, if you hit level 20 your CON would be 22 (18+4), and the belt does nothing. It adds to y0our base - and the level 20 barb ability increases your base - and takes precedence.

Am I the only one that instinctively clicks ahead to at minimum the one minute mark in case of any rambling at the end of any video now?

Technical Advice; turn your auto focus off and light your space for better visual results.

good video but I beg to differ when it comes to Conan! He is more famously known for dual wielding as opposed to using a two hander or a single weapon and a free off hand. Unless you are talking about the Conan movies. then I can see where you got that idea from

Bracelet of defense is the worst barbarian item to give out. A ÷1 shield and a mithril grrataxe is way better and cheaper without attunement. Animated shield is only useful if your a grappling barb and use shield naster. Otherwise you want a +1 shield.

Well you know you can't wield a shield and a greataxe right? First of all mithral weapons aren't a thing in 5e and there's no way to wield a 2 handed weapon with one hand. So if you want to wield a greataxe, the bracers of defense are your only option

@@NerdImmersion You would be better with a ring of defense at that point for the extra +1 to saving throws then. Bracers are a monk item or moon druid item only due to that attunement slot usage. And the latter doesn't even want them most of the time. Going AC neutral for an attunement slot on a barb and getting no saving throws from it hurts you in the long run. Because those bracers could've been a more useful item for the party. It's a trap item in most cases.

You cant use a shield with bracers of defrnse

Meh, Cape of Dimension door is neat but I love my boots of speed on my barbarian.....and I almost got rid of them..... I would take them over DD cape any day.

I am also not a fan of the giant strength belts. It's just pretty lame investing so much into your strength score and writing your backstory explaining why you are so strong but then you get an item that just gives you an even higher strength score. You could theoretically dump your strength but still have a +5 strength modifier just because of one magic item

Swinging a weapon when flying would be awkward. No stable base to stand on. Might be o.k. for a thrust attack.

I think you're trying to add real world physics into a game that's literally about magic and dragons. Gotta separate game mechanics from the real world

I'm going to be honest...I absolutely hate how they deal with items like belts of strength. Should be a flat increase vs. Just setting it to a number. Defeats the whole purpose of the belts.

How the hell do you survive to level 20 as a barbarian with only a 18 con?

I have watched most of your top ten vids, the repetitiveness of your choices is a little annoying. Might as well have made a video of the top ten items everyone wants no matter the class. Then make the vids for the class specific items. This would give us more variety. Just saying.
