I am currently a level 75 softcore rogue, I have tried several builds thus far and I have no real complaints. I like the class, but it is very punishing at times especially if you’re lagging (I am deployed currently). Out of the other 4 classes is there one that is moderately tanky with high damage output? My biggest thing currently is I dash in to start my rotation and in a blink I’m dead because I didn’t get a chance to ramp (I have tried the range builds as well but they are very punishing when you’re experiencing lag, and of course sometimes I just completely wiff lol). I think a character with higher defense / fortified health would resolve the issue until I get back Stateside. Thoughts?
Barbarian is the best at everything (PVP and PVE) by lightyears. Without even trying.
So if you want that, roll a Barb.

Barbarian by far the most op,
I’m a level 100 rogue with near BiS gear in every slot currently
11k attack power
9k Armor (87% damage reduction against mobs of the same level) - 13.5k during combat
13k HP
I have 40.5% extra armor and 30% DR from my gear.
I’ve taken every possible DR/Armor/HP node in my paragon.
My friend that is a barb at level 89 is sturdier and has more hp/armor by default without any extra effort.
Does he just one shot you?
i am sick of barbs in pvp, its unreal how they are op. In pve they do 60 milions crits, I feel like playing sorc feels like why am I even trying.
This is true. Helm with life on kill and huge fortify on berserk hit = unkillable.
Then my barrier on pants and Iron Skin w/ second unstoppable for emergency situations.
I really don’t want them to nerf barb again but just bring the other classes more in line

Then we end up with bilions in season 3 …
If only at one point they set a baseline clear time for nm 100 and play tested things
Every other class ive vsed in PvP ive felt like i have a fair chance or got out played except for barbs.
Popping unstoppable and 1 hitting everything on the screen is disgusting.
They need to introduce pvp scaling in the pvp zone so their dont ruin barbs in pve.
He is fastest and unstoppable, I have 150% movement speed with sorc and teleport and he runs to me like no tommorow in second. I cant kite him with cold spells cant freeze him or chil him nothing. So unreal.
Ofc I do zero damage to barbs as well, he is like top armor class with all the damage reduction skills and shouts and whatever he has.

They hit right click no ramp time, no cast time, no animation hit you for over a million damage.
Even with 70% DR defensive it doesn’t matter 
Looks like the general consensus is Barb lol. In the Fireside chat they talked about a 13* page patch coming before season or at the start of season 1. I would like to see how they change each class. Has anyone played a druid so I can get a comparison between the two playstyles?
