Eh... resistance against ALL damage (except psychic) is "not that impressive"? It's pretty much the best subclass for barbarians, bar none. Also, if you want an "extra attack", take the great weapon master feat.

Do we know that wildheart barbarians won't get 2 attacks at level 5? That's the level at which most martial classes get 2 attacks...

They surely will. At which point berserkers will get two plus their frenzied attack

It sounds great but my experience was not as good as with Berserker. Maybe my fault because I played the Wildheart as kind of tank with shield and onehanded. Despite the resistances he took much damage because the fights simply lasted longer. My group with the Berserker was quite superior. That does not mean that Wildheart isn't a viable option, "kind of weak" is in comparison to the performance of the other subclass.

What happens at higher levels I cannot say, of course.

Once again i feel frustrated so Barbarians get free advantage for (almost?) ALL intimidation checks ...

I was thinking about Zariel Tiefling Barbarian to get exactly that outcome (bcs Thaumaturgy) but then i realized it would be wasted potential ... so i created Dwarf again.

I would never play as dwarf, too ugly. Halfelf it is. My biggest gripe with Barbarian is that Berserker does not get earrings and such. That and some of the most stupid dialog reactions I ever saw.

How dare you?
My Dwarf is example of beauty!

Hmm, tempting, but .... I like men and women, however, to be honest, only without beards. Back to Shadowheart, it seems.
