TLDR: Barb is not fun due to the bad unique weapon design.
The release version & No changes to Barb’s unique listed in the S1 patch weapons are to me, honestly the biggest letdown. I can handle all the other changes and nerfs. But, not having cool build-defining weapons for the premier melee class is unforgivable.
I leveled 4 Barbs during the preseason, I will not be playing Barbs for S1
Personally, I can’t even fathom how an experienced group of ARPG/RPG Devs can let this happen. In any game that has a melee-focused character finding the biggest/newest shiny beat stick is ALWAYS the best part. Very disappointed in how this has played out.
To the Devs, do better…

The uniques are utility buffs. Not so we can do more damage or attacka wider area.
What is the point of this comment? It is BAD DESIGN. We have to give up HUUUUGE legendary aspects to use one of these uniques and in NO WAY do they compensate for it or even allow certain skills or builds to become viable. BAD DESIGN.
I completely agree. They have no idea what they are doing. The addition of Azurewrath just shows even more evidence they do not actually test anything by playing the game and they aren’t even aware there is NOTHING inherent to the Barbarian that synergizes with Chilling enemies.
Not buffing Hellhammer is just a BRAINDEAD move on the devs teams part and the other uniques are NON VIABLE as well. It is just completely inexplicable.
i feel like if they nerf aspects more and dmg modifiers the uniques might be slightly better
however, i think they do need to just boost the stats on the uniques
kind of lame to have a bunch of uniques in game you cant use
given their rarity, it’s not like you are just gonna find one when leveling either
It’s another small chance on lucky (double RNG) to deal a damage type that we have no way of scaling.
All Barb uniques, skills, and aspects need to have physical/bleed-based damage, attack speed, pull, stun, or slow. Elemental damage is not our thing. Unique weapons need to be damage and AOE-themed.
Games should be fun. This is not fun.
