Damage Drop After Equipping Primal

Using WW Barb with Wastes set. 880k dmg got me to GR 94. I got some Primal pants to replace my ancient pants (ancient had life regen, the primal had armor). Damage went up a bit to 888k base damage but since doing that I can’t even clear a GR 70. The mobs take forever to kill, vs melting event at GR 90. Nothing else went down, in fact all stats went up slightly due to the paragon levels I gained clearing the 94 rift.

Seems inexplicable as to why my damage feels like it’s at a quarter of what it hould be after changing just the pants. Leave game didn’t work, shut down game didn’t work, changing gear to a different set didn’t work either.

Not sure if anyone else has seen that?

Sure they are Wastes pants and not IK? They look very similar.

Sounds dumb but. The put the gems into the primal. Also if ur other pants were cal chanted. But that would be very little. Ur prob missing the 6 piece bonus. I did that on the crusader and was wondering y I had to drop 20 lvls.
