This is categorically not true. It is, at best, rampant speculation with no evidence to back it up. You’re talking to Barb experts here who know the class inside and out, and Ulma is one of the best Barbs in the world.
Barbs have no build at the moment with the damage to clear 140, much less 142.
I’m trying to be nice, but you don’t understand what you’re talking about.
God I wish I could post .gifs. Also, the reason WD and DH clears are low now is because the people that push them are pushing the classes that actually got changes. Ulmaguest in this thread is one of the top DH pushers, and as you’ve read is now pushing Barb after the changes, not DH.
with pretty much everyone playing sader the past couple days it’s not surprising that people are able to fish high clears, especially with non-season paragons. Honestly i’m happy to see sader performing so well, i’d like to see a build in every class buffed up to that level of play rather than see sader nerfed. Eventually all or many builds able to clear that high is ideal, gradually over time. Giving true choice in end game instead of there being a pretty static progression if you choose to push high.
I wonder how all these builds scale with Paragon. Obviously in season mode which most people care about these insane clear prob won’t happen. How many grift levels does an extra 7k paragon buy you?
Not as many as season buffs buys you. Especially s19 interms of damage. 2k paragon in any build in s19 out perform their counter parts from 10k paragon in NS.
Precisely why Rend is ‘overtuned’ from developers. Fact is its trash w/o pandemonium theme just as we predicted.
