so ww barb is no good anymore ?
No one was expecting the tactical nuke part of the WW build to remain. Don’t think anyone has issues with that part getting tweaked. The issue is that they also gutted the class’s survivability and overall flow with the nerfs to the shouts, which not only screwed WW barbs over but barbs in general.
Come again?

People go straight into crying without even trying to tweak the build to still make it work

You sound incredibly childish - it’s a complex game to balance given a near infinite combination of items, skills and affixes. It can’t be just be done all in one big hit.
It’s going to take time to balance the classes and open up build diversity etc. anyone that thought it would be all roses in week 1 was dreaming.
The fact the game is very stable, there is a huge open world and a good number of options to slay demons it’s off to a great start IMO. The developers didn’t want this to be as easy as Diablo 3 which was more like an arcade game than an ARPG.
Nah, I think most people expected WW to get a nerf, we are upset about the shout nerfs. Those don’t just affect WW but Barb as a whole.
I mean the example in the video shows it with a bunch of mobs which is not where Barb’s issues are now. It is single target.
The damage needed a nerf for sure. The fury gen? the shout cooldowns? other builds than WW rely on that fury gen to work such as bleed build. The fury gen and shout cooldowns need to be reverted because the issue with WW was the damage. Other builds that weren’t nearly as good as WW just got the axe and now all barbs actually have to play what remains of WW because even after the nerfs its still strong.
In the video all I see is he tweaked the WW build to make it viable again after the nerf, and tank rolled a nightmare dungeon like nothing. WW build is an AOE build, never was a single target.
100%. The shout nerfs hit almost every barb build and just made the class more miserable to play. There is no reason why basic skills are as terrible as they are, and why we need to spend 3-4 seconds holding down lunging strike or frenzy to get back to 100 fury to spend it in 1 second to repeat the process. If basic skills weren’t wet noodles maybe it would be different, but basic skills are so unfun right now.
Because it was bugged, endless damage stacking on the item now capped at 100, never running out of resource while every other class have a dmg limit, and resource limit.
Remember they also nerfed other classes, i play a druid and i could feel the pulverize nerf probably around 50% of my dmg was gone, but it was really good they did that since it did waaay to much dmg before.
There will most likely be more nerfs in the coming month as people figure out how to exploit the system / items.
Maybe they should have organised “the race” for when the game released properly? Haven’t seen a game yet that hasn’t had big balance changes before release.
So many streamers are entitled whiny babies, with their sheep followers echoing their cries.
There you can see that you have no idea about the game.
The main dmg of the WW barb was caused by the unique.
But instead of just nerfing this unique, all aspects and skills were destroyed, plus def shout was reduced by 50%.
One sorc has unqiue shoes Esu’s Heirloom which give her a crit rate of over 100% at the end. Every shot is a crit.
Do they nerf the item? No? Why? Maybe they are just stupid.
Rogue is in a completely different league than all the other classes and has it been adjusted? No?..
Druid all play the 2 key smasher and kill the whole dungeon with it because it makes way too much dmg…
Will it be nerfed? No…?
You can compare HotA or Upheaval with this dmg, the dmg is just a joke against it in the endgame.
Avoided the question. It’s a simple answer you seem to be avoiding ![]()
Seethe more i like it
so what was the alpha and beta for? Why didn’t they address these things then? why didn’t they give access to full builds so players could see these things in the alpha beta?
and most importantly, why the hell did they nerf druids?
Its actually pretty nice, to see very fast fixing
Diversity is great
Im really curious if any necro sacrifices their pets ![]()
i saw one earlier with no pets and some hurricane thing around him, killed the elite in 2 seconds
Please… Be Honest… And Tell me, That 1 aspect that was giving you 40% Crit chance after 3 seconds of WW was’nt overpowered lol
As a WW barb i was praying they would nerf it.
i dont want people playing my class because its FOTM. I want people playing barb because they love warriors / melee classes.
Warrior master race. Get all these FOTM nerds outta here. Good riddance.
WW still have the best Bleeding Synergy in the game =op
And awesome mobility
