Dwarf Warpriest / Barbarian (Armored Hulk) dip?

[Avalon9902]

What's the value of dipping into level 2 Armored Hulk barb? Dwarf speed isn't modified and they don't lose speed for wearing heavy armor. Just trying to figure it out

[666bender]

no 6 level caster should ever dip out.

Warpriest get heavy armour already, unless you traded it, so if your going with a rage class go with a more appropriate archtype and likely a bloodrager as the give you more from one level.

I don't recommend the dip. Rage effects casting and sometimes you're going to want to cast in later rounds.

[Chess Pwn]

the level 2 would get you rage power. Not saying it's worth it, but that's what you'd get for 2 levels of barb.

[David knott 242]

If you can spare the feats, consider the VMC Barbarian option. Instead of a level or two of your primary class, you sacrifice half your feats for many of the best abilities of the Barbarian class.
