WW w/Rend feels right

The top clear for barb solo on the PTR is now 140

The buff to whirlwind is incompatible to basic tenets of the barb buff proposal. The main idea was to get intraclass parity/build diversity and have a top build that was more middle of he road in terms of solo DPS. Repeatedly, it was reiterated the idea was not to be the top build.

Since no other class has really good intraclass balance, I think it is silly to ask for this.

Simple questions:

Does the buff to the whirlwind/rend build increase the difference in barb build inbalance between the top and bottom?

I suspect the answer is yes.

In the PTR, a 140 has already been cleared. It looks like at least in terms of solo the current buff may be competitive as the top build iif the changes go live. As of now the PTR clear is only 1 grifts behind the top American Wizard clear (that is getting nerfed) .

Here are the current PTR standings after less than 48 hours for barbs (buffed) and wizards (nerfed) in the PTR. Also, barb players are advocating not to push the leaderboard so that Blizzard won’t know the true power of the build. If you look at the names on the leaderboard, many big names are missing. I expect barbs will continue to reach higher grift levels with more optimization and fishing. The top solo necromancer build was also nerfed. I expect wizard to end up obviously between the current PTR and the current levels.

The second table shows the current eras rankings. Barbs definitely will be strong. Note: In the current non-season, the first non-chantodo wizard is rank #23 with a grift clear of 135.

Ignore the 10K paragon outlier, looks like the new WW build is on par with the post nerf Wizards on the PTR.
