All other classes get at least one basic which deals aoe damage…except barb. I know this has little to no impact on end-game viability (or lack thereof), but I just can’t understand the reasoning behind it.

We don’t have AOE anything, really. Everything is pretty watered down and minimal.
They hate melee.

I’m ok with it. My go-to has always been lunging strike and I really like it as a basic. It’s actually my primary source of damage along with thorns.
It seems like flay could easily be AOE with the animation, but maybe that would have been OP. I mean it can’t really kill single targets, but you never know.
Upheaval if underped is actually decent AOE.
Rend no longer being a 360 is kind of wack tho.
leveling a barb i felt the same, only now have i found aoe mods for skills outside of rupture.
but with rupture and hota mod i have more aoe clear than before,
barb ultimate wm has big aoe
yep upheaval is the best early easy to use aoe for barb before ultimate.
so about 30’s now i have dust devils, hota aoe increase and rupture, for aoe, in my build.
Gotta remember in this game classes start at different paths to power and trade offs.
so far i am yet to find a class i am leveling that doe not gain a way to use a mechanic.
Finally found a fortify one for barb just not as straight forward as a druid.
I loooooooove IM but the cooldown is a PITA.
