As a long time forum observer, I can say from someone that is not so invested in this game, that there is an agenda and a bias directed at the barbarian class to have it nerfed.
Forest plots and et al, are leading that charge, most of who are posting in the Nerf thread in general.
This is absolutely clear, from the simple fact that none of these people were advocating for buffs for Barb’s during the years that they’ve been trash… Not in the last 6 months dropping facetious statements, I mean years.
Forest plots can claim all they want to, but this is what you look like from an outside perspective.
The more they deny it, the worse it looks.
