Barbarian class still needs help…

So yes, HOTA and whirlwind are still decent pack clearing builds. The single target damage is still completely lacking even with bleed buffs coming and we are still pretty much limited to 3 shout builds. Leap, kick, charge, stomp all needs help to make it into end game builds and those abilities make barbarian a fun class to play. Also the unique changes still don’t make them a viable option.

Once again, steps in a kinda right direction but extremely lacking. Please blizzard, make barbarian fun again.

I agree and Barb is gonna get some help.

But if the help works or not is another story entirely

The ony help Barbarians need at this point is a fast, clean and merciful death

im confused as to why barbs damage is so low vs other classes.

is it bugs? in favor of other classes or against the barb.
is the math working the same for all classes?
is monster defense effecting all classes the sane?

surely they simply dont have other classes with simply much higher damage modifiers than barb do they?

something just seems off.

It’s like the character development team had a bully that played barbarian in D2. Barbarian always getting the short end of the stick.

Because the barb is all stats and has no good legendary aspects. And they nerfed all of barbs stats at the start of season 1. Barb can reach like 1000+1200 main stat but it means nothing in the equation when other classes have vertical scaling with tons of %x multipliers and aspects that double dip on damage from multi casts (bone spear for example).

Two possibilities:

  1. They are intentionally holding Barb down kind of like how Lost Ark held back on releasing classes so that players would come back later to try them (malice)

  2. They think that Barb gets the dps scaling of all 4 weapons combined instead of just what’s being wielded and they don’t test anything themselves to figure out that’s not the case (stupid malice)

Hate to break it to you but they don’t play bararians at all. They finally fixed our hearts but our issues you have pointed out remian.

Our paragon still sucks, leap and charge suffer so badly from cd they might as well be considered bait. They were dead on arrival builds that still remain dead after 1.1.1.

Charge was my favorite build in D3. All our core skill builds in comparison to D3 counterparts are garbage.

barbs still awful at killing bosses

and they buffed boss hp for no reason instead of nerfing the classes that 1 shot bosses

I remember how people kept saying for a while that Barb would always be the strongest because it can equip so many weapons. Good old time.
