Season 18: Mechanic designed more for ranged builds?

Hola barbs,

Been a while since i posted. I’m an old schooler.

I was looking at the season buff but didn’t play it on PTR. Do the power circles work like the Oculus buff?

Will there be ample opportunities to even feel the effects of the league as a barb?

Just want to know before i commit to the barb and just be dissapointed that the season plays like NS.

Thanks for any replies!

They working exactly like oculus but shorter duration. So they are ideal for classes that can deal quick bursts of damage and great mobility. Imaple/UE DHs are great for this mechanic.

Yes.

Nope.

We did not receive buffs this patch. Or last. But we will in the near(ish) future.

One of the three circles gives Resource Cost Reduction. If you play a build that relies on Life Per Fury Spent, standing in one of those (or it lands on top of you) means decreased self-healing. So, if you play in HC you might feel the Triune theme in a very harsh way.

This patch is not very Barbarian friendly imo.

In fact, LoN Rapid Fire is looking more and more like a massive winner with UE DH next.

Definitely looking like I’ll be playing my DH in NS for a stretch.

Thanks for the responses guys.

Looks like i’ll be going monk or DH or some ranged crap.

Ugh
