Claw has 3 times the lucky hit as the other one yea? At work so can’t look atm and that’s what makes the build work and proc the ultimate passive, and you need the max aspect on amulet to even get the 8 seconds and then you need bulwark at a 12 seconds CD you telling me you had all that at 20? I’m calling bs
Actually I realized how bad Barb is when I hit 100. That’s when you are stuck and realize your a Clown for picking the wrong Class. I can put on my red nose and wig now and log into my Barb and try to make it work. However… nah. Lets just hope the Devs fix it. If not people with either uninstall cause Barb players can’t play the game. Or reroll to real Classes.
You don’t need lucky hit. I have none.
I have that, it’s 12 secs. Wish Barb had a 12 sec CD reduction on major skills.
Which is easy to do with 1h and Totem. Since Totem has static CD reduction then you can roll CD reduction on it. Also you can get some other fun stats to make the build different and 2 more Aspects.
If you have 1h and Totem you get 4 CD reduction rolls. 12 secs is cake even at low level.
Leveling up a shoutless Barb and out a few struggles but getting better overall… Think overall experience in the game is kinda trash in terms of balance, actual hardest content and leveling is at around levels 22, 42 and 68…
That’s when I feel most powerless as think mobs pick up on power whilst the new tier of items hasn’t kicked in yet overall
Don’t think the solution is to make Barb yet another Necro, there are more than one strokes required to fix the game and balance overall tbh, working on it and think I’m onto something ATM 
The max roll aspect is ez to eh? Even tho I know level 90’s that still haven’t found a max roll yet. I get they need buffed compared to other top builds but they aren’t trash by any means and can easily do all the content
How are we making them a Necro? Cause of Shield? It’s literally dumb that only Necro has a shield. Barbs and Sorc have Iconically used Shields and have Unique Shields in the Diablo franchise specifically for them. No surprise Barb and Sorc are the weakest Classes by far.
Adding a Shield doesn’t fix everything but it does open up things. We still need to condense Shouts down from 3 to 2 or 1. Then have skills reset other skills. Casting Iron skin cast Shout etc. Have actual functionality and synergy going on.

That would actually be a cool legendary aspects that iron skin triggers a shout or 2

Idk what to tell ya I found it in the 50’s I think. Another problem that could be fixed with trading but that is another thread.
Exactly! I’m just trying to fix Barb’s gameplay. It’s super unfun and you are pigeon holed into specific aspects, glyphs and no room to play. While never feeling strong. When I started playing Druid I was like how do they allow this!!!

They have confirmed they are fixing the “bug” that allows the HotA quake for Barb to do significantly more damage. And we have no idea if they’re going to adjust any numbers to compensate.
If they don’t increase the base line hota damage and fix the “bugged” quake, barbarian will not have a viable build to kill Uber Lilith next week.
I’m hoping the change makes the big dmg not just from behind but everywhere and not nerf it yea
You know what the problem is right? It’s not that Quake damage is too high. It’s that it doesn’t work on Console. So HOTA main damage literally doesn’t work on Console.
Which just figures for the dumpsterfire that is Barb.
Ok, since you really pushed for the button I think that the game needs a few more affixes and attacks to be more complete overall
- Overcharge (instead of Overpower) for classes that don’t use Fortify
- Thorns strike (new effect) that adds Thorns damage per attack on all attacks possible (basically Barb & Necro)
Now there should be more affixes that work with those:
- Resource generation per hit, per hit per level, e.t.c., but also
- Resource cannot drop below X (i.e. raise your minimal resource amount)
- Thorns reducing special effects damage taken (from elite affixes) based on amount
e.t.c.
Game needs in better balanced shape, can’t make everything and everyone out there run Shout or die trying and then get to 100 and feel like a total clown for not having billions of damage on single hit due to a bug, bad balance, or whatever it causes those crazy numbers…

Bulwark is a bug also and will probably be fixed sometime it scales with monster level for some reason, literally the only reason it’s good
Bingo! I’m a Clown for picking Barb and Druid out here accidentally killing Butcher with 1.8 billion due to infinite double dipping and multipliers. Or just being literally Immortal with fun builds. All while I’m trying to just keep perma uptime on my weak abilities.
Thorns is mostly for Barb and Necro which is odd that Barbs don’t have a Shield. Since Thorns is a static stat for Shields. It’s super weird they can’t add that to the Arsenal system and create Unique builds for Barbs.
Who cares if Barbs have 4 weapons when all of them suck, don’t scale or add anything to gameplay. 
I can just play another Class.
I honestly think we will see some barb and sorc buffs on s1 patch. Maybe even some balancing for druid and Necro the druid shred aspect that adds lightning damage needs to be fixed asap billions of damage is just ridiculous or take it out like they did edgemasters till fixed
I do not have resource issue for the most part now on my barb Every now and then but not often anymore
You do however probably have issues with Berserking though
I mean - double swing does X when Berserking, clearly they have intended for that skill to work with Frenzy in combination…
Nope, Bash it is (at least for me :P)… Again sure, the point is to make every build feel what it could’ve been provided that the devs (I mean QA and other testers as well) actually had time to test the balance of builds, skills, mobs, & similar
Bug or not. I’ve been in that discussion in the Druid thread.
I just want the gameplay!!! I want Iron Skin to be based on base HP not missing. I want Iron skin to be able to be reset. I want Iron skin to be able to cast Shout. I want a Aspect that lets Shout cast other Shouts. Just some real game play changers that allows for builds.
Cause the problem is having to run Shout Glyphs, then multiple Shout aspects, then Shout Uniques. Just to have Shouts up 90% of the time. We have to do this! Which eliminates other options that could give us the synergy Barbs desperately need.
Getting 3 shouts down to 1 or Iron Skin cast Shout free’s up Glyphs, Aspects, Gear slots to build something. Anything!!! Hence Barb needs a major rework.
Finally the Weapon Technique again…Needs to be like Boons. You learned the weapons you don’t need to have that type equipped. It’s dumb.

Nah man, playing only when your cooldowns are available is peak skill.

You got a chuckle out of me. Sigh…
I found the experience with barb to be fine, I think it comes down to how you build honestly. Sure I wasnt doing bonecro damage, but I was far tankier. And no, if another class is doing 30x more damage than you, its on you.
