Yeah, it needed a nerf and so does the WW Barb build.
No, it was really good when it only cleared a 142. It has since cleared a 146 so it’s not perfect. It’s above normal expectations
That really doesn’t reflect the power of the set however, as all the top NS clears with Rend are due to Flavor of Time + Conduit RNG instead of the set’s actual dps.
Any current barb set that can slot Ancient Spear to pull tons of elites into a FoT-boosted conduit will clear far beyond it’s average clear potential due to that broken amulet. That amulet should never have gone live tbh.
Can you show me where they said that using data that was acquired after mid-December?
Dude, you are so dense. They never, not once, said 146 is fine.
Here is the post in question, they want to balance the game around 10k paragon clearing a 141
It’s tricky at that point, at that point it becomes less about what Rend damage is doing and more about what Rend set can fit in gearing wise that gives it an advantage.
Regardless Chants shouldn’t have been nerfed as it’s unnerfed version would have put it perfectly in between TR monk and WW Rend.
Yes, but at this point there should probably be a different approach rather than reverting the nerf. Like maybe we look at Vyr’s now which Chants is the only thing making it relevant so perhaps you buff Vyr’s instead.
