I have not played in a long time. I went to my vault and it was 3945 days overdue:)

Things have changed so much and I am looking for advice.

Is there a good guide or source for current information? Things have changed so much it is hard to tell what is relevant.

Does anyone have recommendations for Forms/Berserks/Meditations/Roars and Masteries? I have been searching the web and boards and I am a little overwhelmed.

A good place to start is here: https://elanthipedia.play.net/Category:Barbarian_abilities. The most common advice given recently is to choose abilities that will let you get powermonger mastery as soon as possible. If your goal is to be the king of pvp change guilds. Most of us are training all weapons and armors to maximize tdp gain because the game is very much stat based now. I personally have only found the need for 2 roars. Get an ability to train warding right away. I use berserks to train all the magic (yeah it is magic even though we pretend differently) skills. I keep them locked at all times in and out of combat. Forms are the bread and butter of our abilities. I have use monkey, python, piranha, eagle and dragon my whole career. The berserks I use are wildfire, tornado, earthquake, flashflood and landslide. My main roar is wail of torment. Mediations I use are power, contemplation and tenacity. I use other abilities that boost training out of combat but that is highly personal depending on what you want to do. If you are going to train for Pvp get advice from a Barbarian who did. I am strictly mob based in my training. Welcome back. Have fun. You can't really go too wrong no matter what you do.
