Hyuuuge barb Nerf 2.6.7

Have you actually read some of the ridiculous comments aimed at the Barbs?

I’m just posting to share my disdain for the nerf and add another name to the list…this is sickening

I’m a casual player, play 90+% of the time a Barb

I’ll play 1-2 seasons and then take a break and come back when I get the itch

Play WW barb consistently each time as I enjoy the build during the tedious farm sessions, absolutely loathe the power of the build when I try and push

I’m not the best player or the worst, sitting at around 1150 Paragons this season with a GR of 106 done, gear isn’t the best, but it’s not terrible either

The fact that I’ve had to fish for rifts since 102 range to get anywhere is ludicrous

I play a ton solo or in public games…the fact this build is garbage for 4-mans in Public GR’s in 4-man above 100 is enough to warrant a buff.

You get in a group with two barbs…might as well just leave and try again…that’s hotpoopy garbage

These buffs actually made us viable in so many other aspects of this game besides fishing for days…

we are great fisherman and that’s about it

I was so excited for S19…now I’m not even sure I want to bother

EDIT…I didn’t know about thread on general forums…never go anywhere but barb ones…I’m going to double post there…my apoligies to those that see twice*

Nope this poster hasn’t read them. They’re just having a troll n fish.

They’ll catch something soon… especially with brews :beers:

More “thoughts and feelings” masked as evidence it seems.

Cheers :beers:

This may be your best one yet :rofl:

I haven’t advocated for any nerfs, I dusted off my barb with the hopes of playing him again soon because of the recent changes. I am in full agreement that Barbs deserve love, and hope they take a second look at rend before implementing a nerf. So far nothing is written in blue.

My point is very simply: If you want to pretend to be above the trolls, don’t act like one.

Calling out trolls is not the same as being a troll…nice try though

But no one is acting like them because no one in the current discussion–Felix included–is trolling.

Yours is a faulty comparison. Felix’s is a bad opinion, one we, as a community don’t need right now. Go take a look at the thread in GD. Look at the sentiment expressed by Barbs and other supporters. You won’t find a lot of folks who think that a +3 or +5 buff is sufficient, much less as fun as +10 or more. That’s because, for most folk, it isn’t, and worse, it represents a willingness to roll over and take the crap end of the stick–again–the way we have for years.

There’s a reason a simple screenshot of the Lamentation nerf caused so much backlash, and you might want to think about that before you continue in this discussion.

I just want to be clear that you think its OK to tell the dude that his opinion is garbage and to go make a graph about it… thats a “civil” response? Either own that you were triggered and tired or something, and lashed out - and apologize, or drop the fake high and mighty “civil” stuff.

Again, I’ll ask if you’ve bothered to read a lot of the tripe that has been aimed at Barbs?

Knock off the concern trolling

This is an issue that many people who play barbarians and others are passionate about. You and I can disagree respectfully. When someone made a personal attack against you, I was one of the first ones to defend you. Just saying…

You’ve been ‘replying’ for 15 minutes give it up

You’re right GhostDragon, this has been a complete waste of time. Good luck in 2.6.7 all

Good fortune to you as well whether it be in Season or Era.

You were one of the worst for spreading misinformation and using thoughts and feelings and trying to pass it off as evidence.

You don’t understand what you’re saying, you don’t understand what you’re trying to prove, and your so called ‘evidence’ has no basis. It’s been shot down by multiple people, who are much more knowledgeable about the game than you.

And if it wasn’t already obvious, the majority of those people are already completely ignoring everything you type because of this.

The fact that you felt the need to quote your posts read count just shows that you’ve no idea what you’re talking about. Your TL is more important than the game.

Just stop.

This guy knows what he’s talking about and probably the most logical prediction I’ve seen yet.

This is also why I was advocating for 100% lamentation, you put that and it’s about dead even with wiz/necro.

Everyone saying zomg barb will be 133 while wiz 145, please. You’re making your case look really bad with that nonsense.

What should also be taken into consideration are high ping, wrong rune and imperfect map and “only” 3 hours of testing. 400% buff to lamentation would be idiotic. Plus the seasonal buff. Every other barb would be able to hit gr150 in season. Also… 1 person hitting it on the ptr means others will do better non ptr. That’s been shown time and time again.

You’re a casual and don’t like the build you play? Being casual is perfectly fine but why do you play a build you don’t like? That… Doesn’t make sense. I’d love to solo a 150 with an inarius lazymancer but guess what? Easy builds shouldn’t be the top pushing builds otherwise the game just gets dumbed down. That’s why easy and lazy builds are usually delegated to less power. The whirl rend build, which I tested on ptr, was pretty mindless to play. Which is fine for farming, bounties, etc. but not for every aspect of the game. That’s just stupid, and so is playing a build you don’t like.
