Barbarian Warcry Needs Update

with dr gear and a shield he make very low damage he dont stance a chance , you dont make sense zax compare a hammerdin or a necro or zon is build in pvp is a total joke , for sure this build is very far to be a issue and be op lol compare other build

I only play HC. Who goes to maggot layer to farm? Leap through, get staff, TP outā€¦

I leap around Trav pretty regularly when gold farming

Do I get a cookie for getting to A5 normal at level 18 with all WPs and quests done except Ancients and Baal in offline mode? Thanks to leap of course :sunglasses:

I already explained to you that its about comparison. Leap suck compared to war cry in protection you from damage. Thats a fact. If you dont have enough + skills, you wont jump far with leap and that can easily lead to death. Leap got also one nerf 2.4.

If you leap, you always release bolts from le monsters, that hits you, you go into recovery monster break from knockback fastā€¦

Leap is amazing skill, mostly for transport on map. But saying how good is it to protrct you is lind of stretch. Some monsters are also resistant to knockback.

No thats nothing, do it on hell with fresh level 70 without good equip :slight_smile: good luck

There are also some monsters resistant to stun. Lister is a great example :rofl:

Go solo Nihlathak at level 18 and get back with meā€¦

On that same note, try getting past even A1 Hell on a poorly equipped War Cry barbā€¦ :rofl:

Yes, to clarify, when i said always hit, I am referring to the ability to block warcry ( not to mention dodge, evade, and reduce dmg with physical reduction) The damage is so small that stunlock was the only thing giving it a chance in pvp. With stunlock gone in pvp, warcry has been relegated to purely a novelty pvm skill that doesnt compare with other attacks ( outside of safety usefullness in hardcore ).

I had a full synergy warcry barb with lvl 48 +/- warcry that was quite fun to play. I played him quite often but since 2.4 I have re-stat him to a cookie-cutter zerker. Keeping in mind that i used this singer barb as a main character pvming for a long while, i can say that the damage buffs were little more than superficial changes. Without the ability to stunlock in pvp the damage for 80 skill points is insufficient, especially when its blocked much of the time.

you are kidding right ? mine is currently lvl 38 and im not reaching 2 k dmg yet ā€¦ take any others skill in the game with so much investment in synergies and lvl 38 and you reach 10 k + on almost anythingā€¦ Donā€™t forget that it is blockable so you lose half your damage quite often, monsters in hell have very high physical resistance, on top of that add a very high mana cost that even with 2 x sojs + bo and insight you can run out of mana in a single pack in travs.

Is it a good skill ? Yes because it can stunā€¦ Does it have high damage ? not at all.

Powerfull obviously doesnt mean just about raw dmg. Stun is big part of it. Stunned monster cant do anything.

So a pvp build got nerfed, who cares? Play other builds.

I have an idea, letā€™s delete war cry from the game, then people would have an actual reason to complain about a skill that doesnā€™t work well. Then we could hear the war cry about war cry all while war crying that the skill was garbage in the first place. (Yell to do damage, or stun). It was a gimmick or HC tool to survive in a pinch, or to help groups in early stages. Itā€™s not a damage skill.

Get bent, calm down, shut up.

If I could make one change to War Cry it would be to reduce mana cost from 0.75 to 0.60 per level to improve cost-effectiveness.

May I introduce you to Novaā€¦ :rofl:

Nova doesnt have stun, Nova generaly speaking is not doing that much dmg without good equip to render most monsters into FHR. Not to mention immune monsters are not affected at all.

Lightning is the easiest resistance to breakā€¦ :rofl:

Is there any difference between being locked into hit recovery and being stunned?

Doesnā€™t take long for your ignorance to seep through :rofl:

Need to do 1/12 of HP as damage to force a monster into hit recovery. You were responding to a level 38 War Cry but gear is now a factor? :rofl:

Singing barbs are just a transition till you can wear grief, anyway. Every combination of skills is not mean to one shot hell or be a PVP god. As a mid game build it is amazing. After that grow up and play something that is viable. Turning a barb into a caster is a farce.

Where did i said something about lvl 38 war cry?

War cry is powerfull with stun already at level 1. You need a lot of stuff to get remotely similar effect with nova.

It needs a slight boost to damage and/or a decrease in cost, and made to not be blocked which is a major flaw in it. Case closed.

You mean make it op skill with good dmg, low mana cost and stunning everything around? No thanks.

Not OP at all. I said slight increase to damage and used the words and/or. It doesnā€™t have to be both. Warcry Barb is a build I found only to really shine when you start to get good gear and lots of mana. Plus needs GG gear to really shine damage wise. Iā€™m not counting the GG stun it gives which is obviously great. Unlike Hammerdin who can finish hell with random junk on and have little difficulty from start to finish.
