The outdate barbarian = trash tier class let break it down

i remember playing the barb from release of d2 classic using a lance and Iceblink Freezing and shattering everything in my radius oh boy he are very far from the prime barbarian

let breakdown everything wrong or outdate and usless with the class today

1- ( Increased Speed) use to be one of the best barbarain skill in classic and lod 1,09 offering a boost of mobility too the barb too close the gap vs other class , sadly after 1,10 this skill become very underwhelming because enigma , the scalling of this skill is really really bad offering amost any reward for every skill point invest ,

suggestion at least give a flat 3% or 5% for every skill invest

2- (Natural Resistance) a most the same story with skill , today item offer a lot of
resistance also the small CHARM offer you 5% for 1 slot of inventory , what is the point too invest a few skill in Natural Resistance ??? scalling is also really not reawarding

suggestion at least give a flat 10 % or 5% with a 1% dr or Physical Resist he talk about the barbarain here right ??? a tank class with no Physical Resist ???

3- Battle Orders use the be one of the best skill the barbarain have , today this skill is very ordinary because the barbaian dont benefit of +1 or 2 skill gear but more of Ed% gear and leech gear , mean a caster sometime will have the same or higher Battle Orders this is just no sense

suggestion give better synergie too the barbarain cry +5 sec duration is so underwhelming and useless , add a 1% or 2% life per synergie

conclusion looking the barbarian so many skill feel very underwhelming same for is synergie with battle shout order command with a useless +5 sec duration , this class ask so much requirements and restriction , too offer so little in the end ,
this is not the legacy barbaian i remember from is prime , look more a down the hill barbarain readdy to die :skull_and_crossbones:

Agreed barb is trash tier atm. While they buff Necro druid zon. Don’t know what they’re thinking

I’m the kind of guy who has many builds…except barbarian.
Reason are well known:

  • somewhat gear dependant
  • rarely the best
  • drawbacks of melee
  • weapons masteries is too much of a double edge

I really wanted to like it but…
