And what happens if you cannot use PAM+Sentinel to prevent an enemy from approaching your backline because you had already used your reaction for Absorb Elements? We build our Barbarians differently, so let's agree to disagree. You should also build them to deal damage otherwise the enemy will ignore you and save you for last. Also, Barbarians tank by mitigating damage through Rage and not as much by AC. And I would not use a Ring of Spell Storing on a Barbarian-it's better for spellcasters. This item has built-in Spell Mastery which is an 18th level ability.It has diminishing returns, however, and it takes an attunement slot. This STACKS with Danger Sense meaning that you will take a mere 25% damage if you succeed in the Dex save and use this inexhaustible magic item on top of it.Īlso, "at will" items need to be valued accordingly. This item has built-in Spell Mastery which is an 18th level ability. Grab this item and a Ring of Spell Storing with 5 Shields stored on it for super tankiness.Īlso, "at will" items need to be valued accordingly. Are you going to be raging when the party triggers an environmental hazard? It doesn't necessarily compete with combat reactions since you are typically concerned with combat reactions or hazard/AoE reactions and not both at the same time.īear Totem does compete with it, but only if you are raging the majority of the time you could be damaged. Oh and it doesn't matter what level Absorb Elements is cast at-it halves elemental damage regardless but upcasting increases the damage of the absorbed element on your first melee attack.This STACKS with Danger Sense meaning that you will take a mere 25% damage if you succeed in the Dex save and use this inexhaustible magic item on top of it. It's even less desirable if you are building a Shield Master or PAM Barb because it competes with your reaction. Barbarians don't really need Absorb Elements because of Danger Sense (Advantage on Dex saves you can see), especially if they are Totem Warrior: Bear. Honestly, it's worth it until you need the attunement slot for a better magic item like Belt of Giant Strength/Cloak of Protection/Ring of Protection.
