Ok gang, I took a good long look at the Choke code for snapping necks. I'll admit, it will be harder for the younger barbs to do even on low level critters. I also took a look at it from the other side. I took one of the higher level barbs currently in the game (not the highest mind you) and went over the code again. With a certain dance going, he'll snap the neck of a Pirate pretty much 100% of the time and a blood warrior around 75%. Without the dance, he won't stand a chance. There's no secret here to what stat is needed to shatter a neck. Common sense tells ya.
Mind you, I'm not saying it's perfect. ;) It works and works well. It's just hard to do. But you all know I am a thief and always have been. I and my thieves aren't the true fighters you barbs are (I'm gonna take flak for that comment). So, while we at 50th circle may be hunting Adan (or so). You as barbarians would have hunted them many circles before that. Keeping that in mind, I'm going to adjust the scale on it a tad in your favor shortly. It still won't be identical to your "normal" hunting levels. But it will be closer some.
The need a dance going will remain though. Without it, consider hutning a few levels below your skills if you wish to use it.
