Thread: barb changes - share your thoughts

    Well, from totally useless to nearly useless, there's still an improvement
    Tbh most of people specced it for the passive +20% weapon damage. The active spell was always secondary, don't expect they change it to a stronger dot or healing a la conq banner.

    Yeah, the passive +20% damage is still very good, and the healing if you use it surrounded by more than 2 enemies is nice.

    I think that Devastation is the biggest change. I am pvp lvl 3, so I still don't have the three big pieces, and I use Chromatic Warding instead of Decisive Strikes, but I'm getting more kills than before.

    Has anyone tried Devastation for reaver in PvE leaving out DoD line yet?! http://goo.gl/N4Yx48
    Did a few runs with it but neither seemed superior nor inferior to me, maybe it needs more testing.
    By forgoing Tempered Steel it would even be possible to go down as far as Reverse Swing or to fully feat Atrocity.
    What do you think?

    This yields more damage for sure, but leaving out Misdirection and CtR is not an option. An i dont use WW in my Rotation alas things are too spread out to hit with CoS. Then again if it comes to Mutliple Targets DoD-Line should prove superior. Its single target damage i am interested in e.g. Zodiac.
    So basically its eiher DoD-line or Devastation.

    I think you mean Wiles, not Misdirection (mage hate skill). Anyway you can't feat both Devastation, Dance of Death and Armageddon Falls without sacrificing points in General. I grabbed Atrocity from Berserker too, and said "enough" with -3% hate from general (8 points). http://goo.gl/Bth0a4

    i switched to this one for groups/raids: http://goo.gl/z1iND7
    and this one for questing: http://goo.gl/FOIVmd

    i had not much time to test them yet, but they seem to be working very well...

    shax, if you play your barb the same way you play your demo, i'd advice you take all the minus hate feats and also cheat the reaper!!
