As stated before: Even IF barbs were #1 next season. Even IF barbs were #1 next season with some more GR levels above other classes.
SO WHAT?
Is Barbarian the ONE class that MUST NOT be the strongest class?
There is absolutely ZERO risk in not nerfing the barbs. Even if barbs were OP next season, who cares? There is always a best class in every season. Barbs were trash class for many many many YEARS now. Give them the power they deserve.
What Necromancer and Witch Doctor get nerfed?
Because Wizard isn’t being nerfed, 1 wizard build is being nerfed and wizard has 2 Tier S builds, Barb had none and after this nerf (or even if the belt is only nerfed to 100%) it will still have none.
Now I personally rather had them not nerfing the wizard build, I prefer buffing other classes and builds to this level, in seasons it may not matter but nerfing is not a good way to progress because of non-season and legendary gems imo.
Let’s ask the 10.5k paragon player to push with Rna’s beloved Dh and get that nerfed and see what he would think if we then began to “Well, you got a buff at least… I don’t see anything on the lb” and spam fictional numbers
Thank you for this Free. I agree with everything you mentioned in your initial post. Awesome work for the whole barb community in this game! Keep it up & BLESSRNG for our warcry to be heard by the right ears!
Nobody in the top 10 on that list has over 6k paragon, but Barb is being balanced around someone doing a 140 with 10,500 para. That run would have him at 7th on that list. But no, better reduce the power by 67%.
Removing the damage multiplier from Lamentation after letting people use it is a bit like the Judge saying, “The jury will disregard…”
The jury heard it. We played with it.
An adjustment would have been met with grumbling acceptance.
Removal was met with outrage.
