Fluffs brings up Morticks about 6:30 into it and even he states that the bracer alone isn’t enough to bridge the gap for Barbs for damage cause…it doesn’t actually add any damage!
Precisely, but they wont do anything.
They promised to do something for Barbarians and they really didn’t. Nothing new.
Thank you, that’s genius to use mortik in my cube instead! I use striken, I’m not sure why I had toxin saved out. I liked the protection of Powerful before but can try out PE too 
There are many ways to play the game, all of which are legitimate. Hardcore is not the one “true” way to play the game. And we cover Hardcore play in the proposal. You’d know that if you bothered to do your homework before mouthing off.
Uh huh.
You’re telling me that a bracer that gives you 0% additional damage catapults you 3-5 GRs?
Buddy, you really don’t understand how the GR system works.
No, it’s not. The proof is in the document. You don’t like the proof, but it’s still correct.
I think it’s best if you stop posting and spend some time reading and learning about the game, because you have some misconceptions about basic things, like how much damage it takes to go up a GR, and what the word “wrong” means.
Precisely. You could still push higher, of course, if you fish harder. But the point is:
I like how Pableitor puts it:
As for the trolls, I would ask you ignore them, folks. Correct them, yes, but they’ve already been corrected.

The DR and healing could easily help a player get a couple levels in HC over their personal best. The elite HC barbarians players probably won’t improve their clears by 3-5 GRs since they playing at such a high level, but an average to good player could definitely see a nice increase in GR levels due to being able to tank more and worry less about positioning.
Not saying that Morticks is a good barb buff that we desperately wanted, but it will certainly help HC players with the tougness and healing.

I share the overall disappointment with this being the only change specific for barbarians but the healing and toughness do help WW survive without having to take Bloodfunnel by default. I was playing around with 115’s in the PTR and the double shot of LpFS from Ignore Pain and WotB coupled with a LPH roll on weapon/bracer was enough to feel comfortable without having to sacrifice Battle Rage/Bloodshed. It opens up a bit of rune choice for WotW WW at least. Not much but the bar is low.

I agree with this, I also did some higher GR’s with my barbs on PTR than I do in Live.
And perhaps with this I can see how Blizzard thinks the item is any good.
See I am not a great player, and with some OK gear I can see why all of a sudden you can do slightly higher GR’s because of the damage reduction, but this is only because I do not push high GR’s. I think it does nothing for that, if you do 115 on live you do 115 on PTR.
But like Blizzard players perhaps I do 100, and in those areas they can be sometimes what advantage. But that is only because I cannot stay alive on the Live servers. Could be gear, could be something I don’t get.
So to make them good they need to change the bracers, or change one of the runes of WOTB to make that the bracers work.

If any developer think an outdated and old item is great, they should not be developing this game.

LadyPaka I want to thank you again for looking at my gear and giving me suggestions. I used my well rolled and augmented BotFM and changed sprint to Demoralize Falter (I could only due this because of the WotB extra healing and easier damage reduction) and I got 111 first try. So I guess this Mortik did indeed add 1 Greater Rift for me lol. Again, i went from a Strength Amulet to a 20% fire Amulet from my Necro in S17 so that was another 1 GRfit basically. A total of +2 GRfits. I think this is better than nothing right 
Note my Necro did 115 in 10 minutes first try with only 5 augments and subpar gear compared to my Barb so we definitely need a lot more to compare to other classes.

ive been playing with the new morticks bracers with the ik hota . and they give a defensive buff and a regenative buff and that’s it. any damage givin is minimal and so small not even worth mentioning . absolutelty no grs gained from the bracers. blizz is gonna have to give a buff somewhere to the barb. a new multiplier would be awesome

Why? You either had to drop Bracers of the First Men or Magefist to do so, both of which are worth a large amount of your damage.
For HC they make a difference, for Softcore, def less.
Survivability, and less positioning, equals more dps for HC.
This made me lol.
Idk much about lately but it seems like they are always left in the dust lately when it comes to buffs.
May I ask what they said that warranted you reporting them?
I find a lot of people here tend to abuse the reporting system just because they don’t like someone’s opinion or turned something someone said as if it was directed at them personally when it clearly wasn’t.
I don’t see anything against the rules here with what they wrote unless they deleted it.
Just wondering what “lashing out” meant exactly?

He was repeatly saying “you are crying” and “nerd rage, go outside”.
That is being condescending and childish, when no one here is doing that at all. Just cause he don’t know much about the subject, does not mean he should write such a thing. That is lashing out.
Not sure, it must do something since the highest clears in the PTR are now using the bracers?
Granted they have lots of paragon, perhaps they could do it with magefist cubed too.

I called you people out on missing technical details, you try to shame me as a troll while that wasn’t my intention. You all try to do it just because you want straight buffs without any care about anything else. Don’t worry, I believe dev team is getting ready for a buff without skipping details. You’re not convincing them at least.
I haven’t lashed out at anyone. When you complain about in four different threads at the front page this becomes annoying after a while. When you say “it’s been x amount of years” you are actually proving me right about “tipping the salt shaker”. It’s a game, damnit.
“Wow you were wrong about one thing, let’s call him a troll and shoo him away so Blizzard would give us a buff we deserve”. Who are you people actually? I’m trying to ease you down into the idea of receiving a buff at the next season hopefully. You’re trying to tear the place down, shrug off any fact I said, seek me out in different threads and abuse report button. I ask again; “who are you people?”.

Seriously, are you so ego that you think I talk about you? …
As told xxxxxx amount of times : go read before you speak up and know something.
Should I go read that “holy” proposal again? You mean?
