2h Barb not up to par

The bottom line for me is the 2h Barb Just still isnt good enough. it’s better than the other versions imo, but the Mitigation isn’t up to par for the dmg output. Plz Blizz make the 2h viable. D2 has rose the the occasion but still isnt quite enough either. I think their is a fear of OP with 2h but imo it never arrives at that lvl. i can play DW but i want to be a pounder 2 hander! :=))

I didn’t have issues until they stopped two of my legendary powers from working. I’m gonna have to play something else, until they bring them back online, because I hit like a wet noodle now.

its not that the Barb is not playable at all. It’s that compared to all the others tha ive played so far, at least one or more of each class, its waaaay harder and i take alot more dmg than he should take. if you are DW’ing fine but i like to 2h as my role. Blizz has always been hesitant on warrior type since the begging of WoW. Gosh even in D2 Barbs sucked till resurrected so, im just sayin givem some love especially on the 2h. dont like to be pigeonholed

My barb is only attacking with his 2h mace right now. If I get upgrades on other weapons damage wise does it affect how hard he is hitting or does a weapons damage only matter when you use that weapon?

If you’re only using 2h Bludge, then your other weapons are stat sticks only, which is nice. You don’t need to worry about the DPS on your other weapons, just the affixes.

Check out HOTA, Concussion, the other 2 hand blunt buffing passives.

HOTA can actively scale with so many things… including buffs to your max fury. Killing blow hits very hard as well. Rolled off a 1.3 mil crit tonight at 75.

I’m pretty sure two handed weapons are the best option for every barbarian build.

2h is superior to dw in every single way, dmg output and survival. Sounds like you haven’t gotten very far into the game because it’s weak early.

Hello

My Barb does not want to use his 2h mace. If is use an attack for the 2h mace, it only uses my slashing weapon thus I am missing out on skills and benefits related to the weapon.

How can this be fixed?

You can choose which weapon an ability should use, it’s set to auto by default but simple enough to change. You click “s” to bring up skills, the click the mousewheel (mouse 3) button to switch between the weapon types.
