Lately ive seen lots of barbs complain about how slow and clucky their barbarian are, and when its not that, its that they feel like they don't do any damage in groups.
Iam here to tell you guys that there is light in the end of the tunnel
What do you guys think ? I for one cant stand to farm CotA over and over again like a brainless chicken Will much rather have fun with my clan and group farm instead.
yes because that 0.5 of the population of barbarians that have 400k dps are the ones complaining. try having 150k or less
Its by far the hardest character to play now as its so intensely gear dependent. I can farm t6 without the op skorn builds everyone tho runs t6 uses.
But i got lucky with getting thunderfury asnd some really nice gear. not so much for others. they play more then other classes yet receive less. you can make budget sets from AH atm for 20 mil for every class cept barb. you need 200 mil
Renaming the title to "watch four of the best geared people in the world roflstomping content" would be more honest, imho.
With that gear you could play blind-folded with any spec and still make more XP than the average Joe.
99% of D3 players just feel like you slap them in the face when you don't acknowledge that your strength comes mostly from your OP pre-2.0.1 gear and a group of exceptional players with ~1700 paragon levels.
Pretty sad to see most of you guys negative towards this post, when all iam saying is:
"there is light in the end of the tunnel"
And by that i mean in the later stages of gearing in the current metagame, the barbarian class is a force to reckon with... So don't lose hope, and continue playing.
I would hate to be along the few barbarians left when RoS hits.
Not negative but gnerally pissed off... I mean, you see people playing the other classes experimenting with all the new stuff, and the Barbarians are doing nothing but whinnig about how they took their precious ww and infinite wotb away. Other classes are experimenting with cool down reduction specs and different combinations of skills and items... I haven't seen one barb with a mass cdr build using ground stomp for an example... Barbs have been spoiled for too long and seriously, it's fucking lame how people whine.
Now, on topic. Nice video, funny music. You guys have insane damage so yeah, level 60 T6 is not much of a challenge for you i guess but you can still try to ramp it up and go to more difficult areas like the silver spire level 2 for an example. I mean, this really does not offer any new insight like, at all. Keep depths run and WW rend build... Yeepeey!
Light at the end of the tunnel to me would be some dude coming up with a creative barb build and not just some old and tired spec that hasn't been really nerfed to the ground like everybody suggests... Some of the big barb streamers out there are really crappy players who have absolutely zero idea of how this class is supposed to work and they only copy builds that were proven to work.
Nothing personal against you Detox, i think you are great and i admire your passion towards this one class. You got crazy gear and all but i expected something a bit more refreshing and not just some old rehash of a kd ww rend run that we all know about.
Also, what's up wiith skipping half the monsters you engage? They are not dying from the rend...

People are entitled to be pissed off when the higher ups decide to remove fundamental mechanics of a class without rethinking the costs and functionality of abilities. I wholeheartedly agree that things got way out of hand, but all these changes will accomplish is a mass migration of barbarians to wizards and crusaders.
Knowing how slowly the diablo team works this might be the best thing for the class since going from the most played class to the least played class in a matter of weeks speaks much louder than biased player feedback.
I still think that having perma wotb for over a year has a lot to do with it. I don't think you are right about the "without rethinking the costs and functionality of abilities" part.

Well... wizards got the same treatment, both CM and perma archon got curb stomped but in true blizzard tradition actual WORK went into the "mage remake" and thats why wizzards arn't whining atm, barbs kinda got nothing to compensate
Barbs are in a rough place right now. I suspect part of that is a ploy to get strength-based-melee-type players to buy the expansion so they can play crusaders. Regardless, it's just not fun anymore.

Awesome of you to dismiss something without giving a single reason for it. Literally everything costs the same except now you don't have a steady income of fury unless you constantly take damage. Barbs remain as the single fcking class in the game that actually loses their resource over time when everyone else generates it.
With costs this high on a class where most abilities heavily multiply weapon damage you're basically forced to use two-handers and the only way to play in groups properly is to not have a single fury dump on your bars. Does cooldown reduction have magical properties that aren't mentioned in the tooltip or why would you even come with a ridiculous suggestion like that?
My point still stands. You don't see barb players experimenting around too much because they are trying to make their old ww rend build work again (and it does). You are so butthurt and blaming it on me. Your post is ridiculous. As if it's the first time something gets fixed / nerfed in d3. Also, there's a passive called unforgiving.
