Barbarian

I tried to gather up all major barbarian nerfs for Season 14. I know that barb was very powerful this season but the magnitude of nerfs is way too much.

Maximum wolves reduced from 10 to 6.

Mother's Favor now instead steals 15% Critical Strike Chance from other players and always retains its damage bonus.

Crown of Lucion

Damage reduced from 10-15% to 5-7.5% per stack.

Fury gained from taking damage is now capped up to a 0.5 Fury per 1% of your Maximum Life, and no longer benefits from increased resource generation.

Now - Each point of Fury you generate increases your damage by 0.15-0.20%[x], up to 350 Fury. This bonus is lost after 4 seconds.

Dominate Glyph

Reduced from 23.6% per stack to 1.8% per stack at Glyph Level 150.

Fixed an issue where the Resolve Temper was scaling with item types and much more than intended with Masterworking ranks.

Insane. Instead of BUFFING other classes, they universally nerf all classes at one time, then extremely nerf others. Why? Just scale some of the other, weaker builds up.

The biggest nerf of all is the Fury Generation starvation. This is going to force Builds that do not rely on Resource usage. They nerfed Seligs and Limitless in like, 4 different ways. Total curb stomp.

Is it true resource regen % doesnt increase fury per second ?

I’m hoping this was a PTR bug cause it was not listed in the actual patch notes.

this class feels like absolute garbage to play now and everything one shots you in the mid torments even if you stack resists with defensive aspects in every slot and then your fury regen with it on literally every single piece of equipment is completely gone making single target impossible until you get tiabults. this is the crappiest season i have ever played in d4 so far.

27 days later.

Just a little reminder for our dramatic dudes here.

For weeks, people were whining about the S14 PTR, saying the barbarian wouldn’t even make it to Pit 40 anymore. We all know now that wasn’t actually the case.

99.99999% of this was just exaggerated, dramatic whining—an endless parade of bullshít and false claims.

Maybe in S15 you’ll just keep your mouths shut and stop overreacting… just because the Barbarian will be on par with other classes.

See you in S15, my dramatic friends. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:
