Are Barbarians or Dwarves more viable these days?

I'm normally not an IS player but I have plenty of Barbarians to build a BG. IS and FS are my secondary factions so I wanted to see whats up with this.

Whats really hard about making a Barbarian BG is that there are lots of very good runes in this Theme but Idk which ones are staple or anything like that.

I also like the Dwarf theme but is it even viable and can it be competetive. Do the current Dwarf BGs revolve around the Brewmaster and drinking ale?

I don't play IS enough to know so can someone please enlighten me with their knowledge and wisdom Ironfist Stronghold?

 

This is what I play now. Debating between 1 or 2 Beermaiden, she is nice, but I also like to have a Sergeant, bacause he is AP on a stick.

 

Due to beer maiden dorfs have the edge.

Barbs are carried by incite rage.

Mixed is better since it has bouncers, GREs, VW, Geo, maidens and DKs in the same deck.

 

could someone share a barb deck? i am rather curious ...

 

can u post something?

 

This is my Barb BG. Lots of really tanky runes in here which makes barb guardians amazing. Shieldman and conscripted warriors are also absolutely fantastic that most people probs thought aren't very viable. Not much alt damage unfortunately its just an unfortunate trade off that barbs have.

I don't run dorfs

 

for what i have seen the alt dmg comes from 2x fury of the storm and from 2x barb druid that + the 2 veilwalker . is providence worth using ?

 

on the spot hold the line is great. Lolzworthy on a rune like fury of the storm

 

could some link a expensive barb bg on poxbase?

 

Ill post my Pally Barb deck when I get home. Cant use poxbase though since its so outdated.

 

I was running 2 Exemplars but since Precision bypasses reflexes and evasive i'm testing out Elite skirmisher.

 

I thought aria was unique ?

 

Nope, I don't think she was ever unique. She just had Hero.

 

Ah and Heros were unique, I remember trading away my spare because I couldn't run 2, now I wish I hadn't

 

Could be worse. I have been scouring the game looking for someone that has one for trade but can only find people selling her for cash.

 

Have you tried Frits25? Dunno if it's a z or a s in his name.

 

He wants the $$$

 

Is she any different than a Northern Cross Priestress? Thought they were basically the same rune, different skin.

 

They are the same.

 

Can u post a meta bg? I mean, a mixed bg
