Defense is "better" than attack in the sense that it directly reduces incoming damage, while attack is just one of the factors that determine that damage, which in turn depends on many other factors. But for Barbarians in the arenas, I wouldn't prioritize defense. :)
However, yes, for me, defense is a higher priority than offense, and I prefer shields over blades, and I like the "Tub" more than "Craig": rolleyes:
