Introduction:
The purpose of a War Cry (Warcry) barbarian is to basically enhance the effectiveness of the party with skills such as Battle Orders and Battle Command, and weaken the monsters via Battle Cry and stun them with War Cry. If built properly, this barbarian can be the funnest character you can ever play, hands down.
Statistics:
Required strength for a Vipermagi is 43, 50 for a Shako, and 65 for silkweaves.
Strength: 65
Dexterity: 75
Vitality: Everything Else
Energy: --
Why so low on strength: Your gear will be towards getting as much mana as you can out of your gear, so using godly items such as Stormshield are not necessary.
Why so low on dexterity? Wizardspike needs 75 Dexterity, nothing more. Don't bother with this one after you have enough strength.
Why no energy? 1 point in Energy = 1 Mana. This should be self-explanitory.

Playing with a Warcry Barbarian:
You will teleport right into crowds, hit War Cry, then Battle Cry. That will stun them and lower their damage, giving enough time for your team mates to kill. Keep in mind that this is NOT NOT NOT a SOLOING CHARACTER. I can no express this enough. War Cry does not do enough damage to be effective as a main attack, but it is just simply enough to gain a massive stun time on the monsters. There is not much to this Barbarian, only that the only thing to do is just to have fun and make use of an insanely high Battle Orders and long ass stun.
