4. slowest standard (non-feated) stun in the game
5. if you are dual wield barb you must switch weapons to cc (which if there is lag or latency it will screw you up big time, i.e. switching weapons twice or whatever)also if someone CCs you and you are in dw you have to switch back to 1h to cc back in which case by the time you finish your cc you are probably dead (unlike quick mind wreck like a dt)
6. stacks take insanely long to earn (reaver which gives 67.5% more weapon damage is given to sin (190% more weapon damage permanently) after their first 5 feat points
7. either your combo hits hard but long or quick but weaker (than other classes combos)
8. no more kb root
9. you need to earn reaver stacks to earn any crit rating buff where the dt gets 7.5% more crit rating buff on same main combo permanently as a tank class.
10. zerker starts at 20% more weapon damage while reaver only starts off with 10%
11. jagged cut 4 hits entirely too week compared to hox dot which hits way more or conq dot which hits the same and they are tank class
12. when the barb looses stacks they loose all of them at once going straight from 15 all the way down to 0 (opposed to conq which looses one at a time and dt which can just use ritualistic bloodshed)
13. reaver has more damage, zerker has more hp regen (but only zerker spec has cc power, reaver has none (one kb and one 3sec stun is horrible for any class, even worse for a light armor)
14. burst is weaker than most classes i.e. dt (vom), sin (bomb + death ww), ranger (taking the shot which is double of atg in dps parse it for proof in minigames), demo, conq (in frenzy), etc yes the barb has burst just not as much
15. Takes for ever to give 5 torments and wreck armor 1 and 2 do no damage while a conq and most casters can land them really fast (including sin); I have to land five combos for the same thing as what conq can do in two or demo/sin can do even faster.
16. no wreck effects (if barb had quick wreck I would be much happier but conqs get both)
17. BARBS NEED REVAMP ASAP!!!!
