don’t expect a nerf of charge or lightning druid etc…
the devs said there won’t be nerf during a season : which in my opinion isn’t that bad considering it might make people unable to continue using their build if it get nerfed to the ground.
though yea it’s overtuned.

They kinda reversed that and now say they will do balance patches mid season. Which is going to be addressed in this next dev stream that’s going to be announced soon.
Personally I don’t understand the outcry for nerfs. Everything in the game is soloable and when grouping if you don’t want to play with barbs then don’t. When the gauntlet launches barbs will be competing against other barbs and from what I’m seeing out there the sorcs are going to be blowing all the other classes out of the water anyway.
But to the OP what changes would you like to see to charge? Just saying nerf it isn’t good enough I want to hear solid ideas for how to change it.

they didnt really reverse it if you watch their last dev stream. they would do a bug fix which could be nerf, but they are still against nerfs mid season. as they said numerous times in that dev stream. and because things like charge arent bugged, wouldnt expect a nerf.
can you help me understand why you have an issue with barbarians being over powered? Are you getting ganked in pvp? Please learn how to play.

Yep true they did say they would try not to do nerfs that aren’t bugs, with a heavy emphasis on the try. You can see this at 1:09:00 in the January dev update stream. But they did say they’d do buffs which is kinda where I interrupted to be a reversal of no balances mid season as you could consider a buff to be a balance thing.
buffs are balance yes, and i would expect some things to be buffed. but all these people crying for nerfs to barbs is so funny.
Why would lightning druid need a nerf lmao
Yes charge is very strong, but if you see the things I gave up to get 15 ranks to charge without a shako or evernight you might be surprised. The skill now hits consistently in the tens of millions provided I can also time it with an OP crit. Otherwise it’s just millions, still not too shabby.
The kicker though and to get it to reliably hit a boss rather than charging through it is to make sure to charge from the correct distance and proper angle otherwise you will be waiting for it to come off cooldown. Which means I have to hit with my upheaval instead and only do 7-8million damage.
Talk about first world problems! 
I have a barb and a lightning druid so maybe I’m a bit biased here but charge is fine. I don’t stack too much damage into it and use it more as a utility. It triggers tibaults will which gives me fury, triggers berserk and also ghoastwalker to keep my movement speed up. Also conveniently puts everything together for me to smash and apply bleeds to. If they did nerf the damage it does I’d still use it.
This is my question. I tried barb and found it to be boring, so I dont play it. But I have no issue with anyone else who chooses to play it. Let people have their fun.

Is charge even a thing after you hit 100?
Every class should have at least one overpowered build for that playstyle everyones happy then its up to the player to choose and play the class they want to use . lets face it though there will always be black & white arguements over this so theres never gonna be a clear winner over this should or shouldn’t & why …
Balanced patch for d4 is like, ok, lets reduce BL sorc and buff charge 900%. Next patch lets reduce charge to 800% and make shouts last 300% more and call that balanced.
Remove overpower and poof, game balance.
This is exactly why Barbs are so powerful. I dropped charge and focused on triggering overpower. Without overpower, my barb would be useless.

I like the mechanic, but, it deffo does a stupid amount of damage, I mean absolutely silly numbers.
