Unless I’ve missed it, I’ve never see you post about specific ideas to buff items/sets, rather, you’re all about nerfing.
Where were you over 6 months ago… and i mean, 1 - 4 years ago, when barbs were feather dusters. Where your barb would get 1 shotted against the siegebreaker assault beast, where you had to be close to 1.5k - 2K paragon to comfortably beat Malthael in torment 13 on your own, when you can’t play with mates casually as barb because it’s damage was pitiful, and the only time clan mates ever wanted you to play is as zBarb?
I’ve NEVER seen you or the nerf squad ask for nerfs against other outlying classes, like Wizards which were one top of the game FOR YEARS. I never saw you campaign to have Barbs buffed. You just seemed to appear at some point in the 2nd half of 2019 (from what i saw).
Yet barbs and crusaders finally get a buff, and BAM, the nerf crew are all over it.
I try to look at the intention behind what people say in person, or in this case, what people write, and I still see the agenda through things like:
- what was your purpose creating posts with an underlying theme of a classes performance such as congratulating a Chinese player that will never read the the US forum?
Yesterday and today I played on NA. I finished the 4th chapter at 80 paragon and started GRs - 75, 78, 81 and so on. 75 took 3 min, 90 took 4 min with non-ancient equipment without any enchatment (didn’t have mats for rerolling), with rubies in my jewels (didn’t have leg gems), without FoT, Squirt, Zodiac, RoRG, etc. Got to 500 paragon after 9 GRs.
-You spend what seems to be a massive amount of time, creating data analyses and replying to threats. But you’re not using this data to advocate for buffs for certain items pertaining to different classes, no, you target barbs and crusaders. If you have confidence in the Dev’s ability to balance, like you’ve mentioned many times prior to patch 2.6.7a, then let them handle it.
This is how you appear to outsiders/casuals that read the forums.

Two simple questions for you:
Should crusaders that have 8 solo non-season clears at GR 150 be nerfed?
Given past history and the game producer’s posts, do you think AoV crusaders will be nerfed in patch 2.6.8?

- It doesn’t bother me in the slightest, bring other classes up to scratch.
- Quite possibly, though he did mention it was ‘something to look at’. But even a barb nerf, with only less than handful of outliers isn’t much to go on. I feel like you’re might be grasping at straws on some of Matt’s statements.
Based on our previous evaluation of Crusaders being 4-7 GRs above most classes and looking at the leaderboards, this falls in line with what we expected.
The, less the 100 people with over 8000+ Paragon (In most cases) for GR 140, is as we’ve said before an extremely low percentage of the player base.
I have no problem with this build being a top tier build that can push GR 140+ greater rifts. I do have a problem if this build is 5GRs above the target. I agree with Matt in that 1-2 GRs deviation around the target is good balance. 3-4 GRs iffy. 5+ GRs not good.
Your sentiment here contradicts your one here:
Same as crying to buff a low skill high reward build… oh wait
As darkpatator pointed out, ww/rend is one of the least technically demanding builds that solo clears a disproportionately high GR in comparison to other top tier builds.
I am not at that skill level by miles and miles. However, I did do a test during patch 2.6.7 (before 2.6.7a with the rend buff on lamentation). Without any legendaries gems equipped, only 1 skill on my entire skill bar, and other handicaps such as using a normal health potion and equipping some intelligence gear, no augments, and lowish paragon, I was still able to clear GR 80+ even without the rend modifier on lamentation.That might not seem that high but the only skill on my entire skill bar was ww.
You state you have no problem with WW being able to reach 140+, but then base your reply above on Dark’s assertion that it’s one of the least technically demanding builds. He clearly has an issue with this build being able to clear what it can based on it’s lack of how many keys you must mash. You’re basing your reply on top of his, without stating otherwise, which implies you’re in agreement with his sentiment.
Can you please answer my question now?
I guess the crux of my point is, why should YOUR, potato or et al view on WW dictate and trump how others view and want to play and enjoy the game if they like WW Barb’s?
