Barbarians are everywhere this season, and all of them are packing Charge! …and almost all of them are spec’d into Football Team!
Every Elite pack that spawns is instantly knocked three screens over! It is ridiculous! And here I am, trying to set up Meteors and Firewalls. These Barbarians are… barbaric? …like a basket full of puppies knocking over lamps, knocking over the baby, knocking over the groceries you set down…
Compensation: Teleport ahead and drop fire at the end of the dungeon!
Irony: At the same time Blizzard opened Bone Prison to no longer hinder players, they massively buffed Charge, yet S3 Charge by far - BY FAR - is more disruptive and frustrating for my Sorceress than Bone Prison ever was in Beta, vanilla, S1, and S2 combined!
Am I alone here?!
(To be clear, Barbarians are cleaning up, so even though I am rendered useless in many fights, they do not seem to need me!)
I play barb but I started leveling a druid and have been getting a taste of my own medicine lol although I have to say I’m embarrassed for how many of them suck at being a barb. Like doing the herald of malphas summons I don’t mind if you charge it 3 miles away if you kill it but when I see a barb charge it over and over and it’s still not dead it gets annoying. At least move to the other side.of it and charge it back to where you started it something.
I’m playing a whirlwind hota build with charge so doing open world stuff like that I tend not to charge too much so not to annoy people and just spin and smash until it’s all dead.
When I feel depressed about how my class is trash I log in a barb then speed run the thing I was struggling with within 1 minute to feel good about d4 again.
If someone is a considerate player (I know, a minority) with a smidgen of humanity, they will charge and knock Herald of Malphas towards other players, not in the other direction. At least, that’s what I try to do. Others opinions may differ, but hey, you do you.
Waaaah, waaaah, Barbs are so powerful. Boohoo-hoo, they are so good and my class suxz so bad.
Give me a break. I play all of the classes and if one class is better than the other, I don’t rain on their parade, I either roll another class or join them. Last season was the sorcerer. This season is a barbarian. Next season who knows. Enough of this nerf crap.
I’m kind of smacking the life-compromised horse here as I have expressed this at least a few times before but I wish they would just make Barbarian Charge and Druid Trample shoot mobs straight up into the air.
-Effects on the ground beneath them would still effect the mob.
-Barb/Druid conditions where they get extra damage upon shoving mobs into environment can instead be fulfilled when the mob hits the ground again.
-Everybody profits
If I were a Druid or Barb, it would be even more fun for me to watch the mobs fly up into the air.
I always aim my Rain or Arrows at the environmental object that will be where the “Barboon” charge will end up.
But I was thinking something like this last night also.
I feel bad for “Barboons” sometimes, because no one wants to group with them unless they need a boss beaten or something. I saw someone asking for Varshan group yesterday and I thought it was someone who needed help so said “sure”. I get added to a group with a lvl 100 Barb and we continue to do like 3 Varshan runs…and then I put up some Zir runs…but then I had to leave for lunch. And he tells me to invite him whenever and would be on later and he was really nice…overall though it felt like he was lonely…which made me sad.
And when I think about it I get it. Anyone who is competent and likes playing the game is not going to group with someone one shotting everything in a a group. Cause it gets boring. And if I wanted that I would play my own Charge Hota Barb. But me personally I avoid the broken garbage.
Makes me sad for them, but in the end, we all know why they race to the broken class. So I guess it is self inflicted.
It goes both ways… Equally annoying is when sorcerers cast their fire or frozen spells and it hides the poison on the ground and you can’t see anything.
Yep it’s why there are post all over this forum calling for a nerf to charge! Would have been easier to just post on one of those instead of making a new thread!
My post isn’t asking for nerf to Charge, just sharing a humorous frustration. I don’t think anyone asked for Bone Prison to be “nerfed”, but people wanted it to stop interfering with group content.
Something like this could work. Perhaps a skill node choice to make it not knock them back but instead you create a wind tunnel as you run and pull them in? Something synergistic. Or:

When I run Vaults, I am sure to cover all the traps in Firewalls. 
JK?
