Its because barb gains nothing from this. Only affects phys immunes, which werent a problem to begin with. Devs obviously roll sorc.

Guys arenāt thinking outside the box enough, Barb is now going to be focused on elemental damage builds, you can finally make that Dual Flamebellow Inferno Barb and no fire immunes!

barb take -25%dr and already have poor option to use dr gear too the cost also of big dps lost
and most barb make melee damage mean they have 0 chance to avoid the damage and penality compare caster of range are able to make damage from far and merc take the damage mean they avoid the penality , this is just a rush change with so many balance issue making more class gap

Megademon barb, standing firmly in the middle of the mobs and fighting their regeneration with with chili breath. You could do nice circles. 
Or not use the charm for that extra 5% Damage against physical immunes compare to having just Amp/decrep/grim wardā¦
The developers donāt play the game or have any understanding of the game mechanicsā¦

How are they able to kill barb again and again and again? It is just unbelievable.
Very disappointing as a Barb player.
Have you guys tried playing a ww/frenzy barb in TZ ? Is it able to kill anything without best gear?
You can do it even with an anti perfect Grief on the main hand as you can reach 4fpa for ww with highlord and loh, so you donāt need to spend your Lo runes in rerolling griefsā¦
Thought Iād give my 2c since I play Frenzy barb as my main nearly every ladder reset for around 8 years now
Itās true melee sunder is awful right now (Iām sure theyāll tweak it before reset). Obviously youād just not use itā¦
Many melee builds already have one-point-wonder skills to deal with immunes (ie berserk, magic arrow). Combined with the rarity of phys immunes, phys sunder charms are really not needed
So yeah, Iāll still be rolling frenzy barb as my main this ladder and will be doing early torch and trav runs and laughing all the way to the bank! Iām sure cold/lite/fire sunder charms will sell for a lot early on, and Iāll easily farm many of the TZs as a phys build. This is all pre-grief - really just need 2x lem runes (treach and lawbringer) to be comfy
Iād encourage you guys to expand your horizons, slap on an offhand lawbringer and play frenzy. Amazon basin is a nice resource (you can learn about AR, DR, sanctuary aura, etc) and thereās a reddit guide, too. Donāt let your beta male temptations allow you to roll a cold sorc and throw yourself at meph over and over

give a shot too poe barbarian is really excellent also free too play
waitwut?? they nerfed Barbs to do no damage?!1 Buh-Bye-Rian I guess then.
Java and Co got Infy to destroy entire screens at p8 within seconds. The new charm buffs them immensely.
Meanwhile the barbā¦.!
No I am not okay with that, and nobody should. The barb is a cult classic.

So the Barbarian plays as it always has then. Bollocks! If I had a monocle, it would have fallen right into my cup of tea, that I also wouldāve had.
Barb will be my first ladder char. Still best MF and rune find char.
The last patch made barb worse, what are you talking about?
Barb is still the #1 MFer. Them clearing screens isnāt necessary. Theyāre a different style.
i skip season 1 and have more reason to do the same with season 2 ww barb are so bad if you dont play a phase blade or you are stuck with ias gear also 2 hand ww is dead , poe is 1000 time better vs d2re barb . this patch just buff caster again , no point to play melee anymore , pick up a cham play a sorc or java or auradin and clean the map
barb = high defense from iron skin and shout ***doesnāt need sunder charm because of berzerk talent
pally = high defense and block chance from holy shield
druid = high hp
overreacting much? the problem is barb dmg is really low especially in parties when crushing blow is more nerfed the more players are in party. zealer/wolf is boring especially when monsters run away from you
you get to play fire and cold sorc now basically. fire druid is so bad (spell area is very unpredictable and small with very slow cast rate compared to a sorc). trapsins are boring to build when facets donāt affect its traps and also has slow cast rate (only useful for baal runs, that bout it)
You mean like with Enigma? Most players have never seen Eni in 20 years.
Also, WHO cares about the best MF char in D2 when you can already wear Eni?
Right, nobody.
And some oder dude said, the barb is the number 1 rune find character, which is also not true.
