From the Barb Community: DO NOT NERF REND

[MicroRNA-1507]

@Prology,

I realize that this thread is long and there are multiple threads on this topic. You may have missed…

WW w/Rend feels right

Ignore the 10K paragon outlier, looks like the new WW build is on par with the post nerf Wizards on the PTR.

The image below shows the GR clears for the #10, #20, #30, and #40 ranked solo players in the current non-season in the America region vs. the PTR for barbarians. The data was obtained on October 22. As you can imagine, the top GR clears will become greater with time and increased number of competitive players pushing a particular class. Wizards and Necromancers are being nerfed in patch 2.6.7 [Album] PTR Non-s…

I realize that there has been a lot of attention towards the #1 clear but if one looks further down the leaderboard, one sees interesting things. Below is the GR tier of the Rank #40 player (PTR barb non-season vs. America region era 11 non-season). I think that I grabbed the data on Oct. 22 but I could be off a day or 2.

" We don’t just look at the Greater Rift level and time cleared. We look at paragon, legendary gems, augments, stats – just a whole slew of data from our Business Intelligence team – and do internal tests of our own. We have a target Greater Rift level with specific paragon, legendary gems, augments, stats, etc. derived from the top clears on Live and PTR and we try to hit that target by tweaking changes over the course of the PTR. Some of the reasons why you saw some specs get buffed, then nerfed, then buffed, then nerf again are because sometimes we don’t hit our target"
