Scary Barbarian (4e Optimized Character Build)

Introduction

This build is for striking fear into the heart of anyone foolish enough to cross you.

gollark: I used it a bit on my server, but found it too annoying to use.
gollark: Why trizen instead of that?
gollark: I think I'm using pikaur too.
gollark: Yes, that's totally not inconvenient.
gollark: You should probably install it from the AUR, if it is in that, which I think it is, using an AUR helper.
