A Barb Response to the Lamentation Nerf

I’ll call them with the name of one of my favorite character in Warcraft: Thrall.

Nono, the new barb set will be Atlas.

MICRO, YOU CAN BRING YOUR TABLES NOW TO EXPLAIN CRUSADER CLOSING A 150 IN 16 MINUTES!!

Awesome job!!

On PTR non-seasonal, I managed a GR123 with 2 minutes left so could probably have matched you getting a GR125. On live non-seasonal, I managed a GR110 with 20 seconds left. Even if I fish for GG maps / mobs / pylons, I’m not sure I can get up to GR115.

Effectively I’m looking at around 12-15 GR nerf. I’m paragon 3200.

Turn back 200% on Lamentation and start season on Friday .15 What`s a problem?

Nev has already stated that the season won’t be starting this Friday so 22nd at the earliest now.

I have to admit I thought Wizards needed a nerf. I wasn’t cheering for it. In light of current events I can’t say you’re wrong. This is ludicrous.

How do you post pictures? Tried but keep receiving the message “sorry you can’t post links”

Imagine if every Barb revolted and protested in the form that no Barb will play zdps this season. I know it’s completely unlikely but it’s funny to imagine what would happen to the meta.

We still have zwiz and zdh right :rofl:

Wizards can play barbs too. It’s not like zdps is especially difficult. They would adapt and it would make no difference.

Of course it would make a huge difference no barbs to pull and create density. No ignore pain no battle Shout. There are somethings that some classes just can’t do ya they can z DPS but not like a Barb. Barb is practically a staple and without them gameplay in push Rifts would change dramatically

You missed the point. Anyone can play a barb. It’s not like they actually need people who main barbs to play them.

And so, the burn continues… At this point I think it would have been easier to ‘just’ revert the nerf without localization, testing, and engineering…

I think you missed the point genius … I said just imagine if 0 barbs played zdps. As in no one. I stated obviously that’s not going to happen but just imagine if it did but then you go and take everything I said out of context by saying oh well I can go play Z Barb. Learn to read idiot.

You think a group of four wizards are going to say “Oh gee we have no barb whatever shall we do? We can’t play at all.” Of course not. They just take turns playing a barb. They would adapt even if there were no barb class at all. How is that out of context? Your entire premise is impossibly absurd.

My design for the new set:
2-pieces: Your Shouts get the effects of all runes and last twice as long.
4-pieces: Crusader’s Condemn: Vacumn is automatically cast on you every 5 seconds and ranged is doubled, which will vacumn not only enemies but pylons power and globes.
6-pieces: You gain 50% damage reduction. When gaining the effect of a shout your teamates deals 50% more damage but you deal 50% less, stack up to 5 times.
Brown text: Barbs are destinied (decided by the producer) to deal no damage forever!
// sarcasm voice off
I’m seriously thinking may be I’m going for Sader next season. If we boycott ZBarb will there be any change?

Meantime in Sanctuary…

All classes gather in New Tristram to discuss the new 2.6.7 changes.

Wizard: Damm my Chantodo got nerfed, but hey I can still clear a 140 GR.
Necromancer: No more Thorns for me…
Monk: Got a new set, but overall, nothing special, could be better…
Crusader: Finally gonna have some fun with 140+ GRs with my new shiny set.
Wizard: Hey what about you guys (DH and WD)?
DH and WD: Nothing…

Wizard: Lol
Necromancer: Lol
Monk: Lol
