TuneOut,
There are several things that you have criticized.
To at least address one thing that was mentioned a couple of times:
- I did not answer your questions in post 203 (I think) before replying. If so, here are the questions you asked and explicit answers. All of these had been answered before.
A)
Yes,. I have read each post in this thread (as well as other threads that I posted in). For the barb 2.6.6 buff proposal, I have read this now at least 25 times. I even created word and excel files where I have listed all the legendaries and passives that were requested to be buffed, their extent, and which had new affixes. This was broken down to list 1 and 2.
I assumed that anyone who read in detail the barb proposal would know that table was from there. I was sick and tired of being accused of not reading it. If I can tell everyone that list 2 asks for buffs to 9 passive skills (as I posted earlier), I think that they would stop being so obtuse. How would anyone in their right mind know that number unless they studied the proposal in excruciating detail.
I will admit that I rushed to post 204 in part because I wanted an answer to the question about the table that I initially asked in post 195 that you did not answer. You ignored my question when you made post 203. I wanted to get it out quickly just in case you were just making a short forum visit. I am sorry that I did not read your post 203 before making 204.
As explained in A, I am well-versed in the barb buff proposal. Your question is based on a false premise. I never said that I proved others wrong saying that barbs are not the worst class. The data is clear, barbs are the worst class in 2019 relative to solo greater rift clears. In 2018, it was demon hunters and witch doctors.
C) I can’t find the specific question but I think you expressed concern about me not taking into consideration the bugs/wall charging explot/wonkiness of barb builds. Certainly, there are problems with these mechanics/broken mechanics, but as others have pointed out this is common in other classes. We can argue about which classes have the worst. The class that historically has complained the most is wizards (even though now with their big DPS buffs, they do not complain much anymore).
P.S. I like my proposal to buff base damage using a class-specific modifier for underperforming classes. Another method to boost an underperforming class for solo GRs without a straight damage is modify GR monster hp increase per GR level. For a class that Blizzard wanted ~10 greater rift solo boost for high tier GRs, Blizzard could simply buff monster hp by 15.7% rather than 17% for that class when playin solo greater rifts.
Aside 1: You have accused me of derailing another thread in this and another thread. I might listen to the impartial MVP on this matter.
Aside 2. You have accused me of making posts just to get my post count up (I assume to get to trust level 3). If so, trust level 3 only requires replies to 10 different threads that I had accomplished in the first week of the new forum. I have no need to artificially boost the number of posts that I make. The real limitation for trust level 3, it turns out is time (visiting the forum 50 days during rolling 100 day windows) and having read 500 topics and 20,000 posts again across a rolling 100 day window. Currently, across all D3 forums, there are ~14,900 posts. Yes, I have tables with this data too.
