I wish players like Free, Rage or Prokahn would get invited to Blizzcon, so barbs could finally be a playable class at least for me…
I cleared a 100 GR on PTR with WW Rend without any augments at all and pretty bad items equipped too with 1600-1700 paragon only and I haven’t played this class for real for years…

A Lot of the people crying about nerfing the WW are just ones with childish behaviors. I see this behavior in my 7 yr old and 3 yr old. I give one child a new toy then give the other a new toy a little later. Soon as I give the other child their new toy, the other one instantly doesn’t like theirs and wants a new one even if theirs is “more expensive “.

I’d be genuinely shocked if the Monk’s new set could pull it off. Looks super super weak. Crusader set might be OK if they can deal with their super slow stacking damage mitigation. Don’t let that detract from Barb’s struggle though. I can want Barbs to be awesome and wish for an awesome and powerful proc build for monk separately.
That would be a great description about how others reacted to Barbs finally getting a new toy, yes. You nailed it. People need to stop being so jealous that Barbs got a new toy for once. With you 100%

That brings to mind something else. Wouldn’t people like to play with a Monk Barb combo now and again? I rarely play in public groups but it’s something I never get to see. To have reasonable chance of that happening we need to make that grouping viable. I suggest we reverse the nerf on lamentation, balance it, get the Monks some defense and whatever else they need.
There have been leaks of updates to the new sets, and the leaks looked promising. I suspect the new sets will be 5x-10x more powerful than their initial PTR showings.
Absolutely!
Great idea!
Remember, Barbs aren’t asking to be the most powerful class. We want to be powerful, sure, but if Wizards, Monks, or Crusaders edge us out by a few tiers, that’s fine. We just want to join the 140 playing field that has become the norm for top-tier players, which will make the mid and low tiers for our classes so much better and less frustrating!

+1 to OPs message, stop with the nerf.

Replied.
If that doesn’t do it, it’s hopeless. And honestly, if you want to copy/paste my response and spread it around whenever someone starts in about “powercreep” or balance, you have my full permission.

Thanks, he was so annoying in the Squirts necklace will need a nerf if thread, that I was close to explode and get banned…
He was advocating for a nerf to Squirt’s, (chantodo’s too) because in his opinion it was broken, cause it benefited ranged classes more than close combat ones and of course his biggest problem with the game was always powercreep, he blamed it’s the reason this game is so bad…
Anyway I need to calm down, cause I don’t want to end up silenced again -.-, for being against nerfs and supporting classes to be on par at least in 4-5 GR range…
God, this guy, he keeps saying I don’t care about barbs and that I’m no barb and that I only care about my UE Multishot build and wouldn’t mind if any other was nerfed as long not mine…
I even admited I might said something like that earlier way before the PTR in the Squirt thread, becasue I didn’t believe barbs actually might get anything based on how they were treating for years and always forgotten and neglected…
Of course other classes buffs are the reason why barb is so weak and just because Squirt’s Necklace isn’t designed for barbs or any other close combat class it needs to be nerfed…
I just can’t reply to him directly or it might end bad for me…

If barb is to be close wiz 200% lamentation isn’t even enough. Maybe 400%. Sounds too much? Do the math. We need more, man.
Also thanks Gasnick, for your support. I know you ain’t a main barb. This mean too much

Right? Even though Free and I see politics from an opposite perspective, i’d gladly vote on him for president of the barb community.

The ironic thing about class balance is that it could be relatively straight forward to get all class to within a GR or 2 of each other using basic mathematics.
This thread was made in August so the numbers are old.

I started playing with a barb with my main account in vanilla D3. Got over 2000 (actually it truned out to be 1330) hours with him on both EU and US server. Been through all the mess with AH and RMAH, Nephalem Trials or first 4 difficulties: normal, nightmare, hell and inferno.
I admit I sucked in inferno and fighting monsters was like this for me:
This is my 2nd account. I stopped playing with my main, cause I played with all classes on both EU and NA and got a headache with stashing items…
Got a 2nd one and decided to play with the build I like the most - the UE Multishot, but still never asked for any nerfs to any other classes and anyone who claims otherwise is just lying or is twisting my words…

As mainly a barb player if this nerf goes through I think I will be sitting out this season and possibly any future seasons. I had high hopes when the buffs were announced. Should have known it was too good to be true.

“Anyway as long as UE CC multishot won’t get harmed i’m fine with any decissions for the future patch. it’s not like it’s crazy OP like current Archon build is”
I took the screenshot because you like to start drama and you can always edit your post.
You said that you don’t care about decisions as long as they don’t nerf your build lul.
Also stop trying to report me to the barbarian crew leaders, they have no influence on me, and i’m not against their claims, because i’m actually a barb player, unlike you, and i have supported the buff idea since day 1.
I’m going all in on this. Avatar and name change in support.
Barbarian was the first class I played in Diablo II and I stuck with him for years rarely picking another class to dabble in.
I want to be a raging storm sweeping across the battle field laying waste to enemies.
Here the cry Blizzard. Revert the nerf.
