To have Wrath of the Wastes nerfed, or all the other barb sets buffed?
It always made me kinda annoyed that sets were scaling rather than stabilizing. This is in the way that you'll have to start off with, say, raekors, and then upgrade to Wrath set. Most of the times, we don't even pass by Earth set. I feel like Blizzard should consider putting every item set on the same level, since we're dependable on one single viable build for damage, that is WW Barb. Without that, you'll have alot of issuesgoing past 50+ GRifts.

Wrath of the wastes is in line with other classes best sets . Nerf WotW and you will get barb at least 6 levels behind DH and wizard. Also its never good to nerf, its always better to buff underperforming sets.
There is no doubt that if all sets were equally powerful that the game would be more fun, the problem is that its required to constantly balance them since every now and then some player is gonna figure out some combination that will suddenly make one set overperform. This tells you that its very hard to test and balance everything.
For me what is balanced best in barbs is IK BB or 2 BK swords ... that is just how it should be with sets. Where you can hardly decide what is better. So that the player preferences become deciding factor. Same with UE or natalia for DH... But somehow blizzard likes to make something OP and just keeps rotating what it is ...
That's true. They buffed all the pylons, so that's a good first step on 2.2 already. I hope they'll kinda buff up sets like Might of the Earth and Raekors, thought the latter just needs a few tweaks here and there to get to the level of WW.

EQ set was most fun I got with barb since vanilla days... Shame its so weak now... Raekor lacks single target. You can do maybe 15b per minute with it. While ww does 50b+ easy on single target. While ww is almost as good for groups. Even if you gave raekors no cooldown at single target WW would still do more dmg . Needs big changes to become competitive while EQ needs huge DMG buff.. Like 500% more dmg from quakes. Still wouldnt be enough... And mobility would also be an issue with EQ
I dn't think it would be an issue if you'd get an in-geom with 10 sec cd reduction, you would have perma leap for 15 seconds, and that is plenty of time to kill another rare while speedrifting.

I think WW should not be nerfed (unless blizzard decides to nerf all other set items in the game).
Raekor is weaker than WW, it definitely is when confronting bosses, but I feel like Raekor is better when fighting monster packs. So instead of buffing Raekor how about designing a bracer that will double or tripple the damage and reduce the cool down of FC by half when FC is used on less than 2~3 targets (kind of similar to that new bracer for crusader)
Earth set, I'm pretty sure blizzard will buff in future patches.
IK I think all it needs is a small buff in the 6 set bonus. May be increase the damage by 200~300% instead of 100%. Then IK will definitely be on par with WW.
