I started with the rogue class and leveled to 25. Created a sorcerer and holy crap way OP compared to rogue. I finally created a barbarian and compared to the other classes is exactly opposite of what he should be. Furry needs adjusting for sure but this character doesn’t feel like a tank at all. A sorcerer can tank more damage relative to class than a barbarian IMO. Thoughts?

Some say barns are op then u say no. Its builds and ur build sucks. Sor are not op when they have no mana
People that don’t play Barb are always saying that Barb sucks in every Diablo game since the beginning of time.
People that play Barb say Barb is fine. Barb is fine.
If there’s any problematic class right now it’s Sorc, but that might be just because he doesn’t scale as well later and is only OP early on. Balance isn’t dependent on Act 1, we’ll see how everything shapes up when the actual endgame grind starts.

Barb is garbage if you compare it to the other classes

This is so false all these people complaining about the barb didn’t even bother to use rend rupture combo i 3 shot bosses. The other barb skills need to be raised to the level of rend rupture.

Just because there is 1 viable build doesnt mean the class is fine overall

I’m level 25, renown II, World Tier II and have all legendaries but not fully upgraded and i have a Frenzy / whirlwind / Iron skin / War Cry / Iron Maelstrom build and also don’t have many issues. Only on one boss did i have to take multiple attempts at and that was earlier on in leveling. And i think a lot of people had difficulty on that same boss. I used Leap before but after getting the movespeed skill maxed i didn’t even need it. Barbarian is totally fine. Feels good even.
There is definitely more than 1 viable build.

They probably didn’t even get full legendary items and judged a class which historically needs gear before it performs well to the other classes. It was knee jerk reactions from these people that didn’t bother to gear out.

Thats not good though. In what world is it okay for one class to need full legendaries to be good while the others dont? I don’t understand this mindset. It doesn’t have to be OP but it should be good with standard gear.

Why should it? I am 3 shotting bosses with rend rupture what about this feels weak to you guys? Upheaval is even better i just didn’t get the legendaries for it.
If you think that then you just have no clue what your doing. Barb is the most OP class in beta by MILES.
This so much. Like we are level 25 MAX how should we have full legendaries just to be able to kill stuff. Yes if we are lvl 100 doing endgame stuff OFCOURSE you need good items and a good build, but at this level barb should be able to manage with just rare items.

I hate that build though. The fact that one build is OP doesn’t mean leveling a barbarian is good.

I mentioned two op builds not one. You guys needed to do more testing before complaining the “weakest” core skills the barb has is whirlwind and double swing. The other builds have more legendaries available in the test currently. You guys just built your barbs poorly no offense.

I killed things before i had full legendaries mind you all…
well, Sorc has 3 skills (Hydra, Chain Lighting, Ice Shards)… that doesn’t make the class fine either.
Pretty much anything but whirlwind/frenzy are op, you can go thorns for 10k+ hits, you can go upheaval for 20k+ hits or bleed rend/rupture.
Or you can keep playing your sorc with 200 hydra damage.
Shouldn’t those skills be buffed then? If they’re not good, why not fix them?
