Barbarians - The Follow Up Thread

[IronClan]

I will admit that the devs have made barbarians more playable but doing more DPS (Damage per Second) in the long haul than a paladin are not. And yes an extra +25 damage on EE ain't sh*t, when how much damage mobs hit you for especially champions, your Storm's Eye buff won't last at all. I think the devs fixed the bug with Golem Heart from proccing all the time while under Storm's Eye and using supreme cleave. Anyways Storm's Eye can't match a paladin using Holy Sword and critting constantly compared to the barbarian who's crit damage multiplier power comes from a 19-20.



Not completely sure what you are trying to imply with that comment. Wither it outweighs it all the time or situationally.



My comments show compared to yours that you have forgotten what DPS means (Damage per Second) especially in top EE content which judging by your above quote that you have plenty of experience in EH difficulty but not so much in EE content. I'll stick to EE runs on my paladin and continue to out perform pure barbs or jump on my Bladeforged multi class barb and doing 16k+ AoE damage with little effort while you enjoy your EH with your extra 25 points of damage from Storm's Eye while using a one hander.

You seem to be having issues understanding what people are writing, "example" is an important word in English (such as my example pointing out that in EH you can have pretty much 100% uptime on Storms Eye). An example is not necessarily proposing or advocating what follows. In any case you wont raise my hackles with some Forum DDO "I only play EE" Childishness. I play EE about as much as everyone else does in Epics, i.e. when I am after a mythic item (which is often the only thing I'm doing lately so yes I am presently playing a lot of EE) Favor, or a First time on difficulty XP bonus. or when it suits me or the person that's driving. I also play EN like everyone else does (such as when doing 20 MODS in a row, or for first time bonus during an ETR, or to get a quick chain completion of orchard to gear an Alt) and of course I also play EH like the vast majority of the server in almost every Wizking and VON3 and Spies in the House and Von5 in the last two years. Forum Version players who claim to play EE exclusively tend to be people who are making things up because they believe it makes them seem more impressive or knowledgeable. Which you stand no chance of considering how many times you've displayed a complete lack familiarity with what you're discussing.

I apologize in advance if it turns out English is not your native language. In any case even where we agree you keep seeming to not understand it. So it's pretty clear that you're struggling.

So far you've posted a eye brow raising "bladeforged" Barbarian (see LOLZ comments from others) which makes you sound uninformed. You clearly didn't understand the reason behind a FOTM SWF build, You've stated that Storms eye works like Zeal of the Righteous and decays when it does not, so you obviously have not used it. You've splashed for Divine Might on your supposed BF Barbarian, which is a very poor build choice (much better to go pure and take KtA), you clearly do not know how Storms Eye works nor understand the significance of 25 extra damage (let alone all the other stuff) you've hand waved at math, and been so consistently wrong that even someone who agrees that Barbarians as a whole need more help is disagreeing with you, because you're just muddling the real discussion that needs to happen. Seriously man after I suggested Barb's should get Charge AS A CLASS ABILITY you disagreed with me and told me it should given to Barbs like Abundant step... Perhaps you're simply not taking the time to read what you're replying to?

BTW Spelling out the acronym DPS twice now is not making you look less uninformed. it kinda makes you seem like you just discovered the meaning and want to show everyone or something.
