WoTC sponsoring different channels to cover specific classes, subclasses, or mechanics is a great move on their part.

New favorite Barb :)

This is one of my favorite subclasses in the new PHB!

I actually do hope you guys will make new tier rankings videos going over the 2024 subclasses. See how they compare to their older counterparts and how the new subclasses stack up

This subclass is insane! It actually feels like a video game tank with the aggro force

In the UA they said that they would make it clear that anyone can voluntarily fail a save. That will probably be in the general rules/ playing the game section.

Not since the Tempest Cleric have I read about a subclass that made me go, "I want to play that!" until this one. Now I need to hand off DM duties.

Kelly’s so proud of his Mean Girls quote @3:52

A great thing about the Teloport 150 ft once per rage, is that it doesn't limit this to once per battle. You can just Rage again while you're already raging to gain the effect again. It works the same with the Beast Barb's Form of the Beast: Want to switch forms? Rage again. And now with Rage recharging on a SHORT rest, this is usable even more. And then Pole Arm Master with the mastery and the 20ft reach on a Glaive? OOF

This is so awesome! Glad you guys could reveal this!

Man, a Bugbear wielding a Glaive is gonna have a field day with this subclass.

Ive had a hiatus from watching D&D stuff. Im glad you came across my screen. Yall look fantastic and I am excited to see this subclass! Great to see you again!

Its the path of the Yeet-drasil tree. 😅

I’m just imagining playing a Harengon-ish or Ratfolk race that’s basically a squirrel and naming them Ratatoskr. The end of your maul could be a giant acorn that you use to travel the World Tree

So much PHB news today! Nice.

my favorite thing about the teleport is that it doesn't say you have to land on solid ground. You resist bludgeoning and tasha's says when you land on someone they take half of the falling damage which is (at level 14 when you have a billion health) basically free damage

My Dudes! I’m so watching the interview talking about the 2024 PHB!

Just subscribed and watching so much content you guys have from years ago till now. Awesome to be on a new vid lol keep it up! Btw 4e ftw!

New subclass interesting let's see what we got also I have 4 episodes left until i finish campaign 1 of Drakenheim and i got to say it's been a blast and I can't wait to see what shadows of Drakenheim has in-store for me

This has all been so exciting! Congrats on the opportunity to cover this!

Our group playtested this subclass, with a character named George Liftington. He had an axe made from a cherry tree that allowed him to cast Zone of Truth by expending a charge. Loved the mechanics of the subclass. We didn’t love the explicit connection to the World Tree rather than trees in general, so we just ignored that part.

This is easily the most useful Barbarian subclass we have seen. It has fun built-in flavor, and can easily be reflavored in any number of ways.

giving it sentenil feat would be brutal with extended reach

Quick note, regarding one of the questions posed about using Branches of the Tree on an ally, that UA did specifically have a sidebar saying that a creature can willingly choose to fail a saving throw.

I think I would house rule a limit on creature size affected by all the shoving/moving/teleporting from medium up to one size larger.

Awesome! Love seeing you guys get to do cool stuff like this

It is cool that a boatload of creators got to unveil a different nugget if the 2024 PHB. I can’t wait for a master list so I can watch them all! I have a dnd KZfaq treasure hunt!

This sounds like such a cool barb! Definitely making this first! Thank y'all for the video!

Hunger of hadar specifically wont work with at least the branches, since its an area you can see. I do love some of the synergy and utility this brings to a barbarian

Been watching the channel for a long time and just gotta say, you two are looking good! Happy & Healthy, hope all continues to go well!!!

One note about battering roots: you guys were focusing on the big hard-hitting weapons or ones that already have reach, which is fair, but it is worth noting that if you are embracing the tanking aspects of this subclass, Versatile (like longsword/battleaxe) and shield is an option. You could even get shield mastery to give yourself an additional chance of making them prone.

Oh man me and my friends got back into dnd (seriously) this year and these books couldn’t be coming at a better time, HUGE excitement In the air right now 🔥

Give this barbarian a flying speed and let your enemies fall after teleporting them towards you...

Most of the UA had said that the new PHB will clarify that all saving throws can be voluntarily failed, so that level 6 teleport ability is a fantastic support ability AND great control. This is probably my favorite barbarian subclass now. It feels so cool. Can’t wait to try it out!

I bet this will be the most playied class from people who only used to play spellcasters in 5e. This feels to have a tough reliable control and damage character. One of my favorite subclass ever!

You could reflavour this with a little effort as a War-Forged with Dr Octopus style appendages.

This subclass would wreck so many spellcasting enemies

Kelly! Reflavor this and you have your Alex Mercer PROTOTYPE character. (Or Venom, Carnage, even Spidey) The tendrils from the descriptions are begging for reskinning and I’m imagining the weapon masteries morphing right out of them. And you can literally have web-slinging. So many thematic possibilities with this 🤯

Seems balanced, teamwork oriented and very fun. Love it. So far so good. We'll see how the rest turns out.

Glad to hear you got a copy of the new book! You guys deserve it. Been watching your videos ever since pandemic,, when i started playing dnd

This is the ultimate battlefield control and positioning class. Interesting.

Excellent use of ad funds. This is how I like to learn about products. Glad for you guys and good call by wotc

7:12 yes, it has been clarified that unless stated otherwise in new design languages, any creature can willingly fail saving throws This means that you can use this feature to teleport an ally near you so that they can benefit from your temp hp ability

Path of the World Tree is a really cool concept for a barbarian

This subclass feeling S tier and I feel like all the revisions and new subclasses are gunna be like this too

I'm liking all I'm seeing from these books. I'm really glad you guys are reviewing the upcoming releases. I've been playing D&D since the early 80s, new updates and editions have always been part of the fun.

i love the flavor of rage that this brings thematically it's not only focused on being a tank and protecting yourself but also protecting others, it also goes good from a point of rage being channeled from wanting to protect like a fight or flight of a parent rather then pure anger channeled from revenge or wanting to just kill the enemy

I LOVE THIS. I love barbarians in general, and I play them quite often. This is awesome. I need this in my life!

I'm excited for a new series of tier rankings. As well as new videos from Colby on how to multiclass these new subclasses

Still the best DnD channel on youtube! This sounds good and I'm excited to play this and to see your future vids! 5E's Monk subclasses aren't that great to me... so I can't wait to see what you guys think of the new stuffs!

Now I want to make a wooden warforged that wields a great club. His name will be cricket

IDK if anyone mentioned it, but the topple with reach has its drawbacks. You'll want to do the knockdown on the last attack, otherwise you'd be at disadvantage when attacking a prone target outside 5 ft range.

Digging this Battlemaster Barb

This sounds fantastic! I’m looking forward to seeing it.

Every time is the right time for more Dungeon Dudes content

I all but stopped playing Barbs but holy moly im doing this one. I am VERY excited for this. Great job guys!

As I've looked through all of the subclasses in D&D 5e I'm convinced that the eloquence bard is the best.

You can literally infinite combo with the push prone pull. You pull them in while they are prone, so when it’s your turn you have advantage, then you knock them back and prone them again. Rinse repeat forever

Congratulations dudes! ❤

In regards to party synergy either the wizard you spoke about before or somebody else have the ability to give enemies disadvantage on saving throws it would work very well

I'm so happy with the journey you guys have been on and now you have the owners of the D and D brand name slipping you their homework lol. I've listened to other channels that credit you guys for some of their home rules and such. All of us, but especially new players, are lucky to have your material. I wish I'd had it back when I began. (1993)

I'm so glad you guys are covering 5.2 in depth

Push, as written now, could push UPWARDS into the air. With you being able to double up on this with Battering Roots, you can uppercut an enemy 20ft into the air with a single attack. And because of the reach (and maybe some generous ruling) hit them AGAIN, putting them 40ft above ground. And then they fall

I think the weapon mastery stuff is exactly what martial needs. Imagine for a sec a lvl 10 barb you attack a creature with a weapon using the push and push them up. Your reach is extended, so you can use the double mastery to push them up again. Then bonus action teleport 55 ft up and on their turn reaction teleport them to 5ft below you. that's an extra 5d6 just from fall damage. By raw you're resistant to bludeoning while raging so you take half, but rule of cool the enemy can probably soften your blow a bit by being underneath. the combo potential is actually incredible with this new feature. I love it

This makes me more inspired to play barbarian than I ever have. I like the idea of a Wood Elf World Tree Barbarian with the dual wielder feat and dual wielding battle axes which have the topple mastery.

OMG! I've never heard of this Barbarian subclass before. What a great addition to D&D and TTRPGs in general!

I think it is so cool that you can seemingly teleport allies (if i am intepreting this correctly). Also I am factually unsure how of a role BG3 barbarians played in some of the other decisions, but i am inclined to credit Larian Studios for popularizing both throwing enemies and pushing them off cliffs. Either way, I can't wait for the hijinks!

My D&D youtubers are killing it today! So awesome! Also: I am Groot.

This is absolutely my new favorite barb. So much movement. So much survivability. This really feels like the barbarian that couldn’t quite make it through Druid school but they’re still really good with trees lol

Wow the temp hp being 2d6 at level 3 is NUTS!! i hope the updated monsters can keep up with the players 😭

This'll be really good for exploration and getting around difficult terrain and whatnot. Also I really like the idea of teleporting 60 feet above the enemies head and hitting them with a falling strike, or teleporting above the dragons head to land an easy hit. There are some fun combos you can pull off with this new subclass.

As Bobby the Barbarian from the cartoon had a magic tree club I can see him grow into this barbarian style making his tree club weapon something crazy!!!

Oh god this subclass is so cool!!! I love the theme, I love the abilities, this is my next character.

I think they'll have to change some features of this barb subclass. The combo you mentioned would effectively make the enemy permanently locked prone without ability to move or do anything really, unless they save on the strength saving throw. That's a really powerful thing that could make many boss fights completely trivial.

I am fairly sure that in one of the last UAs there was a statement that allies can voluntarily fail saves on effects from their friends... it might have even been in the one with the last tweaks to this sub-class

I have NEVER thought about playing a barb before (I don’t get to play much) but this actually sounds fun as there is a lot more utility than just “hit stuff good”.

This is the direction I really wanted them to go with the barbarian. Movement, enemy control, and a tonnof support. My only real issue is that it has a very minor level 3 abolity, that whilenit grows wonferfully will feel very weak when you first get it, at least if you arent reliably near an ally. Compared to Frenzy barb or Wild Heart (totem) its going to be a little lackluster until its second subclass ability. But once it gets that, its golden.

The best part is the abilities here remove the need or desire for offensive feats. Now you can choose defensive, utility, or role play feats to really give a barbarian a strong presence in all pillars of play.

I’ve been playing the UA version for 3 months now and am absolutely in love with. Just started watching but glad to see changes and hoping they’re great!

I'm so excited to play this.

Yggdrasil, in traditional D&D cosmology, was a cosmic tree that linked the Material Plane through the Astral Plane to a bunch of other planes. In some campaigns it was essentially the extraplanar transit system. It didn't reach everywhere, but it let you travel the planes without the use of high level magic. Nice to see it making a comeback. Hopefully they also bring back the ratatosk, those guys were cute. Like angry squirrel versions of the palicoes in Monster Hunter.

It's interesting that you guys mentioned sentinel as a feat and I think that's a pretty good pick up. Because this reaction targets a saving throw and reckless works off turn, 99% of the time you're going to be better off just using sentinel with your reaction to achieve the same outcome as your level 6 feature. Not to mention sentinel gives a +1 str in current UA.

Currently playing a campaign where the Barbarian has Mobile Feat and Path of the Beast. This new subclass sounds like what my campaigns barbarian does. Rage - Reckless Attacks - Mobile gives you the option to move away without attack of opportunity, they have 50 feet of movement. So often what he does is, moves up to the enemy that is engaged the tank fighter, attacks at advantage, then moves 20 feet away. Does it over and over again.

Just want to play a Bugbear with this subclass and 3 level dip into Rune Knight. yes, you need a 2nd turn for full set up, but you would have a functionally 30-foot reach on every attack 😆

Tree Barb sounds like one of the best subclasses I've heard of. The mobility and battlefield control, all flavored around getting pulled underground by roots and popping up somewhere else, or adding extra tree branches to a melee attack to clobber someone, or pulling someone to you, it all hits the notes of both ability and theme. I love it. I may have to break down and finally play a barbarian. I can already envision all the homemade Groots this is going to give rise to

I've never played a barbarian but this looks fun. This paired with a druid and their areas of effect spells seems great

Damn. Sounds amazing!

A potential combo with the teleport roots when fighting a flying enemy: Use an Enlarge potion or spell from an ally to become Large. When the flying enemy’s turn comes up, teleport them to a spot around you that is 10 feet off the ground. Since their speed is 0 they fall 10 feet (provided they can’t hover), take 1d6 fall damage, land prone, and can’t get up from prone since their speed is 0.

First thought ok cool I can be Odin. Second thought hell ya I’m Hiemdall. Third thought oh my good god I’m about to juggle every monster like street fighter.

OOOOOOO! Travel Along the Tree is very sneaky good. Sure you can get across that ravine or on top of that high wall but I see other uses. 1. Let's say you're in that situation where you are all surrounded. NOPE! Teleport everyone, place yourself 40 feet away that means that you can place other melee characters at the 30' mark and the squishies plus your ranged buddies are now 50' away. 2. It is going to be hard to get away from you with the 30' "Get over here" and the 60' jumping around the battle field. 3A. As per Tasha's (TCE 170) Falling onto creatures: They must make a DC 15 saving throw, if failed then the fall damage is divided between them and they are knocked prone. With some restrictions it doesn't apply to tiny creatures and the creature that was underneath gets knocked prone. So 3B. You can flying elbow drop from 60 feet every round if you want to. That that is on average 36 damage taken by falling divided in half because half on you and half on the target so that is like 18 to each. But you have resistance so you'll be taking an average of 9 damage AND you can be gaining 14 Temp HP every round. 3C. You could even attempt to knock a flying creature Prone. Just as long as they aren't above 140 feet above you. 4. And then depending on how many rages you have you can Flying Elbow Drop five times from 150 feet. Each round just drop rage and then start it up again.

Battlefield control and movement are my favourite combat styles (why I love the Ghostlance multi class), so I think I’ll enjoy this subclass!

I love people pronunciating things wrong, it always makes me smile a little. The Y in Yggdrasil is quite hard for English speakers to say, it's almost like you say the letter "E" but slightly different sound. So almost like "Egg-drasil" but slightly different. Hope that made any sense. Either way, great video guys! =)

If you can get a spellcaster to cast Fly on your Barb, just run up into as many enemies as possible, and teleport you and up to 6 of them 100 ft in the air; get an extra 10-20 ft. with a double shove strike upwards on one enemy you REALLY want to go splat!

I am super excited about this

This is one of the first straight martial subclasses I have seen that I would be interested in playing. It actually competes with spellcasters for tactical options and battlefield control. Existing subclasses better step up their game in the new book.

Being able to Bonus action teleport 30 feet to a landing, hold your action to attack anyone who appears next to you, teleport someone up on their turn and attack them is great and all! But, the fact that you would also use push and knock them back down the 30 feet makes this SOOOO much better

The 10th level feature is great, but it's really unfortunate that melee attacks still have disadvantage on prone creatures outside of 5 feet. That seems like quite a nonbo.

Always loved the concept of a kind hearted Firbolg tree-loving barb warrior that will not hesitate to turn your innards to fertiliser for his beloved seedlings if you hurt his friends. My initial idea was just simply flavouring the Ancenstral Guardian path to have spirits be more akin studio ghibli-esque forest spirts, and even dabbled in a homebrew with the idea of your rage turning you into Groot with vines extending grappling reach with a "get over here" mechanic. Boy oh boy was I excited when they revealed my get over here fantasy is officially baked into the this subclass! And the subclass lore I think is such a perfect thematic fit for a Fey touched hulking barb. It has me thinking of a "deliver and protect important seedlings at all cost" type main personal quest that involves the Ygdrassil. Open to all suggestions for character ideas!

I have always loved barbarian and this just makes me want to play it even more than I ever have.
