It depends on what spells the mage god has. With a bad selection you have a chance but if the DM chooses any decent ones, you're royally screwed. They have multiple instant win options available. From Forcecage+Sickening Radiance to guarantee your death, or Prismatic Wall + Reverse Gravity to guarantee your death, or Polymorph+Power Word Kill to guarantee your death, and then there's Wish.
And that's before we get to what features they have. If they have things like Portent or are Chronurgy wizard, even with a poor selection of spells you're guaranteed to lose.
So it depends on DM choice but you will range from "extremely unlikely to succeed" to "absolutely guaranteed to be *****slapped to oblivion".
Barbs are one of the worst choices to go against a powerful ordinary mage. Against a Mage God? It won't even be close.

Summing up a dumb story short, I'm fighting a level 30 god to revive a party member.
I'm speccing Barbarian with path of the berserker. The enemy will be a mage type. I will be level 20
Perfect world, what do I do and what do i spec?
