Barbs use x3/x4 crit weapons, and deal a lot of glancing blow dmg.. Thats all getting nerfed.

Rogues and barbs who use hvy picks get equally nerfed vs helpless.
Rogues who use khopesh, overall, lose less dps then barbs who use two handers - especially non esos ones. (as glancing blows arent increased either)

Overall this is an awesome update for assasin rogues, and a bad one for barbs. If anything, i wish the changes effecting barbs wouldnt happen. Id give away my 1000+ crits to keep my stuns and trip working properly.

Assasin Rogues get:
+100 dmg on sneak attack vorpals vs 1000+ hp targets
Death to anything under that, even previously immune targets like epic/certain amraths/etc.
Assasinate working on nearly all trash, even epic.

Barbs get:
Nerfed stunning blow, (no glancing blow or offhand proc)
Nerfed trip (no glancing blow or offhand proc)
Sure supreme cleaves slightly improved, but still not very good and uses up a ton of hp. And horrible for certain common barb setups (halforc+greataxe)
all true.. but any class can vorp right? barbs can vorp? heck even mages can vorp, so the only thing rogues get is +100 damage on a 5% chance.
