Which Tarisland class should you choose as a beginner?

If you're new to Tarisland, I suggest you start your adventures as a Barbarian. As you may expect, this tank won't die easily, making it one of the best classes in the game. That's your priority at the start, as you'll be focused on learning the ins and outs of the game. While playing as Barbarian is much easier than with other classes, that doesn't mean it's a walk in the park. You still must learn how to use his skills to maximize your chances.

Barbarian specializations in Tarisland

You can choose between two Barbarian specializations in Tarisland: Thunder and Frozen. Below is a skills list for each specialization. Symbols "??" in the table signify numbers that change as you level up.

Thunder Barbarian skills list in Tarisland

While you'll be cycling through all skills while in combat, I found Wild Strike, Wrath of Thunder, and Cyclone Turmoil to be most important. If you want to maximize damage, focus on these Thunder specialization abilities.

Frozen Barbarian skills list in Tarisland

With Frozen Barbarian skills, your goal is to buff and keep yourself safe while debuffing enemies. For this, my favorite Frozen abilities are Frost Cross, Frost Strike, and Death Fight.

Which Barbarian specialization is better?

What specialization you choose depends on your playstyle and party configuration (if you're playing with friends). That said, I suggest Frozen specialization for beginners as it will make you even harder to kill, thanks to freezing attacks that increase your defense and heal you. When you get into the game, you can switch to Paladin (a more refined tank) or turn to DPS or support classes where the learning curve is a bit steeper.
