Neverwinter Armour Enchantment Slot

/ Comments off

Welcome to our Barbarian Blademaster Guide, updated for Mod 18: Infernal Descent and Mod 19 Avernus.

To learn more about the new mod, check out our Mod 19 Avernus Guide.

The Barbarian Blademaster is a typical melee DPS class. They rely on strength to deliver huge blows to their enemies with their two-handed weapons. Barbarians are also some of the fastest and best solo classes in the game, as well as being sought after in groups.

Please consider putting an enhancement slot into all the rare level 61-70 armor or remove the fallen dragon fang requirement from the eternal gear. Personally, as the proud owner of a bunch of purple Tailoring assets, I'd like the opportunity to make purple gear with enhancement slots that are useful. In this neverwinter xbox one gameplay i talk about the top 5 best armor enchantments to use on your armor. Equipment i use to make Videos & Play Games: Compu.

This build uses much of the same gear as the Barbarian Sentinel Tank Build, so you can easily switch between the two roles.

The purpose of our class guides is not just to show you a build that you can copy and use on your character, but to show you a base build and teach you the mechanics and stats of the game, so you can understand and play your class to its fullest capabilities.
