It’s so sad to read such a great content the guys from this forum put together. You know… You read a lot on this forum. “Buff this, do that”,but what they wrote just makes so much sense… It’s all calculated, all prepared… Everything…
I was soo excited to see what they came up with… Updated set bonuses… Changes… Just a bit… But one item, that’s it? I mean… I was dissapointed back when blizzcon was around. When they announced the mobile game. But I thought “hey, they said they weren’t finished with barbarians or this game”. And then… Nothing… So dissapointed
With all due respect, but it would take me a few work days and a small team to outline parity buffs for all classes, as well as identifying lacking skills and legendaries for all classes.
Another week to patch notes, delve into forums for well communicated and objective feedback threads alongside forum discussion.
And another two weeks to back and forth implementation and testing.
They have had months to do a single homework right.
USA 2020. Hillary Clinton wins re-election and implements a new time measurement system for the world known as the ADBFY, where units of time in academia, government, and private industry must now be measured as Are Diablo Barbs Fixed Yet?. Worldwide protests erupt, the economy crumbles. People can’t even schedule their own lives due to systemic errors with Pre or Post-Are Diablo Barbs Fixed Yet measurements. Bobby Kotick is sued by Brexit for tax evasion for 6,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Euros. The planet explodes.
Joking aside, if–or maybe, when–Barbs get buffs, it will be interesting to see what that looks like considering the scope and scale of the most recent two patches. I certainly don’t expect every item or request to be granted, but I don’t think it will be Mortick’s caliber disappointment.
And let’s not forget that Monks need buffs almost as badly.
From patch 2.6.1a being released on 5/29/2018, they have only updated 10 class specific support items for all classes combined, including changes in patch 2.6.6. The “small” list 1 proposal includes buffs to 10 legendary support items. List 2 includes more items and even new affixes on many items. It is highly unlikely in my mind that the classic games team will do this. There is compelling data that shows that barbs on in a bad spot now; however, their historical underachievement in terms of ability to clear solo greater rifts seems inconsistent with what is presented in OP.
