Barb Changes

Post by Crusher »

The newest and most recent barb change has been the best ever.

However, I wouldn't mind seeing it changed from 50 to 45, so it's 45-70. Just to give people a little insight of it by the time they hit 55. It also evens the playing ground a little more area for people to experience. Great from 25-50. Slows at 50-55. Hard rush from 56-60. But great change!

I never thought I'd lose my Dion Str/Agil, but if it's to do damage. I'll take the risk.

My 65/32 Barb's hasted Hally damage is almost even with a 70/34 Hasted GS Paladin. This is the dream barbs have been waiting for. Barbs are Damage and Meat Shields! Now I need another killer to have an unproned one for hunting with Paladins :|

Btw, prepare for the flames :(

Barbs still have a few cons, but I'll check them later. Now that I have a reason to play.

We still need better IH's tho... 5 ih's to heal off a 30 slot bag isn't cutting it.
And Sweats are still 50 rounds recast while Cries are 40 recast.
Have prots instantly show so you don't have to hold cursor over the item for 2 secs. Or has it been arranged for Adv PSI Pics to be done?

Agreed, 45 would be enough to tempt my barb off the dusty shelf.

The ability to haste is great.

I think the level 51 requirement is perfect as it makes it a DL ability, i.e., not available when one can still level in Borderlands and Cob.

Equal level/skill hasted barbarian outdamages my pally. Thats OK. I still have the big armor protection so is a good tradeoff.

Whereas 51 does not. It is too much of a mind numbing step to take from gaining a raged (25 wasn't it?) attack.
I don't know what the record is (Brad will surely know), but I "feel" many barbs gave up the ghost before getting to the 51 mark.

I'd say 40 to 60 would tempt more barbs to get big. They would still have to get to primal in order to benefit from it well.

Crusher you compared yourself to a GS Pally? BAh anything is better then a GS Pally.

I have tested hasted barb and I know he doesn't do as much damage as a hasted pally or even an unhasted MA.

I think if it started at 41 at 5% and ended at 60 100% that would be much fairer to barbs.

I feel for the sake of overall class balance and the sanctity of the game as a whole that the level for haste should be lowered to 36.

SirFoote - level 56 barb.
