A lot of good idea, but I dont think we need more % fire they have many atm. Maybe improve % on physical, can be nice.

You’re right. But the goal was 2H weapons ( in this case, maximus ) to actually relevant at T16. 2H weapons are in general inferior than dual weild or 1H + off hand builds.

The ideal 2H weapon for +%physical is of course The heart slaughter. 2H polearm is basicly a double minority weapon in Diablo 3.
I haven’t got any idea how to buff The heart slaugther. I want it to have more than just + %physical damage. Will update later.

Some Epic Ideas Davez!

Definitely hope the team takes these kind of ideas to heart, 2h with a few exceptions just tends to lose out to dual wielding when it comes to barb, especially when you’ve got not one but two 2pc 1h weapon sets (istvans and bul kathos).
Sword and board would also be a good pairing to re-evaluate the place of as well, that’s another combo rarely seen on barbs.

I would like to see items that cause skills to proc other skills.
In Wizard - lightning skills proccing others would be cool, like imagine if electrocute could proc shock, or magic missile proccing twisters

Imagine if Monk’s LTK could proc WoL, or if Mystic allies could proc Exploding Palm
More ideas would be if Demon Hunter’s strafe could proc spinning chakram around enemies.

Just some things to really mix things up, since mixing abilities under a global or a particular buff could open up more builds

Lets say you have an item that makes generators attack really fast, what if there could be another item that procs a particular attack off of that, and some items that can empower said attack.

Here’s a few suggestions:

Sword of Ill Will
Chakram deals 2-2.5% increased damage for every point of Hatred you have.

Spines of Seething Hatred
Chakram now generate 3-4 Hatred and deals 200-250% increased damage.

Depth Diggers
All resource generatings skills deal 80-100% increased damage.

Follower became useful. Make them “pet” or “part of us” so they can benefit from our character’s set item power as well. Remove the cap number from the follower as well.

I have been saying this for 3 years now. Barbarian is basically a dual wielding class now, since our 2h builds now are dead in the meta (Leapquake and Charge barb).

A 2h overhaul would be much appreciated.

As for HotA, IMO the rework on Remorseless was good, but not enough. HotA still far behind WW Rend, so we could use further buff to the Hammer. Also consider resetting Charge if you hit at least 1 enemy In Raekor 2pc, it will lose it clunkiness and make a lot more sense. Right now you got to hit 1 or 3+ enemies. If you hit 2, you get stuck without charges. That’s very clunky and drive people away from this build.

Greetings hadd, I agree the 2 pcs raekor should be change that way for a better and smooth gameplay. I’m not playing raekor because I don’t like it when i’m messed up my charge and not able to do anything except running aound and wait for the charges off cooldowns.

I also agree that HOTA needs more damage buff. I don’t even bother trying out the newly buffed remoseless because the numbers are too small.

But i disagree about barbarian is designed to be a dual weild class. I think the problem lies on the weapon, not the class.
As everyone knows, 2H build is inferior because :

  1. Less weapon socket
  2. Less legendary affix
  3. Less ancient item for LOD build

Big weapons need big buffs

For damage, I think a simple base weapon damage increase would suffice. It is a lazy fix but would do it. If you mess with stats and sockets Crusader might become broken, with its ability to wield a shield and a 2h.

As for utility and quality of life, the procs are another concern. 2h ww rend suffers because of CDR, slow hits also affect Zodiac from proccing more often, therefore you have a tough time keeping perma-wrath = death. This also applies to life per fury spent. It should be doubled on 2handers

Buffing procs for 2h would make this builds viable, and also its base damage to give them the “slow but powerful hits” feel its so desperately needs.

2h loses to dual wielding, even when the best dual wielding setups are weaksauce like BK and IB sets. That tells the very sad state of Barbarian 2hs. There’s your one skill multiplier 2h for your build that gets cubed, and that’s it.

Like the new Ambos whirlwind procing rend and the Won Khim Lau tempest rush procing cyclone strike. Yeah I think every class needs at least one of these.

Speaking for myself, I’d love to be able to go back to Skorn as a wizard. It has a legacy feel. Maybe the legendary power could increase critical hit damage by 450% or whatever’s clever. That would make it usable for everyone.

Everything you said is spot on! I agree that we need to check how to 2H buffs would affect Crusaders. That’s why I’m thinking about this one :

Ageless Might.
New legendary power : While weilding 2H weapon, increase your damage by 100%. Triple this bonus against enemies affected by Threatening Shout.

By gating the power behind a mighty belt, crusaders won’t be able to take benefit from it.
But we still need to think a solution for proc rates problem. I’ll come back to it later.

Yep, very sad state for 2H setup. That’s why it has to be an incetive to actually weild the 2H weapon. But before that, we need to fix the 2H issue’s mentioned by Hadd.

Check my above post about Strafe also throws Spike Traps.

I agree. That’s why on my first post, the proposed Skorn buff can work for every class. The weapon can proc itself, something like Bane of the Trapped.
