THF... Worth it? Or not?

[Celestialbeast]

I'm just asking out of curiosity. Since the U5 Nerf/bug/update thing I've heard a lot of yea's and nay's going both way. The Truth is I"m not much for being a "twitch" player and I'm not sure if glancing blows really are all "that". Can someone please tell me yea or nay with a definitive answer? Thanks Much!

Barbs got a huge nerf (capstone+twitch+eSoS+general attack speed).

Other THFers, not so much, but Barb was pretty much the only class worth going THF.

Not true at all

Pre U5

THF Barbs - high sustained DPS
THF Fighters - highest DPS
THF Paladins - lower DPS than TWF but better for new players and getting through TRs
WF LotB FvS - highest DPS battle caster
Q staff flavour builds
Battle Casters with low DCs

After U5

THF Fighters
THF Paladins
WF LotB FvS
Battle Casters
Q staff builds

Builds that were better with THF are all still better with THF apart from Barbs.


Also how hard was it for the OP to just look down the page for the topics already started on this subject. TS should see an Optician if his eyes are that bad.

Is it illegal to be curious? Jeez man, I didn't mean to hurt your pride or something. I figured my question was unique enough to warrant it's own thread. Go troll somewhere else.

The new epic antique great axe makes dwarf thf barbs much more attractive. But with the nerf my pick barb has started seeing the light again.
