Barb suggestions

Short term suggestions for mid season patch:

tempered fury:
buff to 20, 40, 60
will give an easy buff to ramaladni builds, can also be easily nerfed if too strong

Thorns values on armor
increase by 25%

Outburst:
Gain 150 thorns. Also gain 10 thorns for every 20 bonus maximum life you have.

Tough as nails:
Instead of 3% per rank, make it 5% per rank.

core skills
buff their damage by 40%

Barbed carapace:
buff to 20% thorns up to 200%

Unbridled rage:
60% dmg for 80% extra cost

Unconstrained:
should be while below 75% life

Long term suggestions:
taking a page out of the spiritborn play book here. seeing as spiritborn can stack armor for damage. why not do something similar with barb like so:

  • 0.25%x dmg per 1% of DR
  • 0.5%x close dmg per 1% of Close DR
  • 1%x DOT dmg per 1% DR from bleeding
  • etc

Gushing wounds
revert to the old wording/functionality but reduce the multiplier from 140% to 30% of crit damage bonus.

Razor plate
update razor plate to be an uber unique with the additional wording of “Thorns can now crit, lucky hit and overpower” and with an inherent all res

Gohrs
Change the unique effect to: “Whirlwind can now overpower and deals 50%x overpower damage”

blizzard doesn’t care about Barb. they killed us in the Season 5 patch and they went “bye felicia” and they’ll never come back and fix us. perma broken Barbs.

Probably, but I want to at least try before I give up and move on.

Looks like a big chunk of d4 players already moved on or getting ready to give up when Poe starts

yeah, at least they are trying to fix melee classes there. it looks like D4 is trying to kill melee

I haven’t purchased the expansion and instantly uninstalled the game the moment I saw final patch notes. Barb is the one and only class I love playing in the diablo series, seeing what they’ve done to that class makes me sad but on the bright side PoE 2 is getting closer.

Also many good mods for d2 like PD2 is having a new season starting october 25th, looking forward to that.

Basically, “Increase damage output by 50%” correct?

I’m hoping for more than that
