Barbarians are useless!

The person in charge of the Barbarians is incompetent and should be fired. Are you aware that Barbarians are probably the worst DPS class in the game? Every "God" barbie player is giving up! I'm not talking about players who don't know the mechanics and how things work. Any skilled barbie either quits or switches to TR or Bard. My pug TR and HR destroy 90-100k barbies.
I've been playing a GWF since the first day of the game's release. I simply cannot understand why the incompetent individuals responsible for combat destruction are forcing me to switch to TR or HR? I am someone who uses a combat tracker consistently while I'm in the game. Simply, what you have envisioned is not good in practice. You can't benchmark things on a training dummy!
Single Target:
Escalating Rage is useless even if you combine it with "Steady Rage," as you can't compete against good players; you have no chance to compete on a single target. You're simply not hitting enough in a short time because other classes have simplified rotations and they will do damage in less time and cause the boss to do stupid mechanics and move or become immune, so you lose all your stacks.
Relentless Slash is too slow. I don't know why that is the main damage ability. That's the main reason why we can't build rage quickly enough.
AOE:
On multi-target, we can't use "Escalating Rage" because obviously TR, CW, and Bard will wipe everything before we even get to the mobs. We don't have enough speed to get to the mobs before them due to the poor stamina regeneration, and even when we get there, we don't have enough stamina to get to the next group, even if we use movement speed enhancement, mount power, boons, and movement speed collar. If we get to the mobs before they do, we will probably get one-shotted cuz we are paper.
Axestorm is garbage due to its lengthy animation, and during that time TR, Bard, HR, and CW will wipe out all the mobs!
Brash Strike is also garbage; it's slow, and the mobs move around a lot, so you don't get a chance to hit them many times. TR and HR will wipe out everything before you get to another group of mobs. If I were a developer, I would allow movement while using "Brash Strike" or increase the range. Also, the feats on multi-target are not worth mentioning because they are simply useless for competing against TR, Bard, CW, and HR.
Also, the animation system is definitely garbage and should be polished.
LET US COMPETE!
STOP FORCING ME TO PLAY TR AND HR!

I used to do those with 'Weapon Master's strike' (previous name of 'Relentless Slash' and 'better') years ago though.
This post is written for the incompetent individual responsible for ruining the class, not for the bot players who pretend to be smart but genuinely lack an understanding of how to properly play the class and compete.
No one uses Relentless Slash to build rage! I stated that while you are in a rage, the animation for Relentless Slash is too slow, even if you cancel it. Others will output much more DPS in a single rotation and make the boss disappear, causing you to lose all of your stacks!
We play this game to compete, and the destruction of the old combat system by Thomas is the main reason why so many have left the game.
"We" don't play this game to compete. We play this game for enjoyment and to escape from daily life for a while. Although the enjoyment is a lot less than it used to be.
Who are you trying to compete with? The idea for dungeons and trials is to work together. Does your epeen get bigger when you see your name at the top of the tables at the end?
Do you really think we are logging into this game for the dungeons and Craptic's campaigns? We used to log in because it was fun! We practiced one phase, not because we liked the dungeon, Craptic's story, or the campaigns. Also, we played PvP because it was fun and competitive. Now the whole game has turned into farming gear from the masters, and when you're done with that, you log in once a week and sit AFK in PE until the next module comes out, then repeat the cycle in the hope that they will fix the incompetent classes.
Pvp is simply unplayable with this combat system.
Yes, we play to dog on each other.
Again, I'm sorry to say this, but no one wants barbarian in master. They just won't listen, and even if they do, they're too lazy to do anything about it. They just go to work to get their paycheck.
Since old days here in Neverwinter online players tend to evalute players viability based on his input in content run.
And how it's evalauted?? Score boad..
Would you pick dps guy for latest dungeon run's who's usually endup as fourth by paingiving/killing? Or top one?
I think you realize the outcome..
It's same as you would bring in end game content poorly gearead pug player, instead well gearead dps player..
That guy would act more as a burden then help.
I suggest you to sit in Protector enclave for few hours, and just observe Zone/lfg chats..
You will see >> lfg> mDoM, or Imperial citadel run > x dps, heal/tank. + mage/wiz. (it's become status quo to have this class in latest content runs). Why?? again.. why waste time with lesser classes if you can bring OP class and have smoot/easy/quick runs..
Majority players want easy/quick runs. You should know it.
And this is how certain classes being ecluded.
So player either forced adapt and play with new Prefered classes. Or as in past we used call Meta.
Or you, well. Sure you can still get in content runs, but.. Well how to put it..
YOu would be a burden.
And it's not my invention. Players are not fools as how some try portrait for sake to downplay class disbalance. Players quickly notice which classes does most dps even comapred to better geared other classes. And thus players start to pick up only those players with specific class.

==================================================
This post is open to people who know something about the game. It's not for bots and members of the Craptics' Discord sect. If you don't have anything smart or related to mechanics to say, gt** from the post. People like you are a bigger threat to this game than Foss and all the nukes put together.
Told you that I am for sure not a Bot (as many other people can vow for that. even here on the forum)..
You should stop with your endless complaints about everything and play the game..
Please note that everything in this game is a Group effort and not a compete hype to give you a bigger Carrot..
There are plenty of games around which suit your self-esteem.. SOY BOY
Some people literally tell me to die when my pug TR and HR wipe them off the list. New players can't afford to switch to another class when they realize they've made a mistake and then end up leaving the game.
Every good barbarian I know has either quit the game or logged in just to farm new gear, and when they get it, they log out until the next module. These are people who have all BiS items, people who can switch to any class but simply don't want to.
In Module 14, there was no good or bad class; there was only a bad player. SoD was broken a few times on TR, but they fixed it. Everything else was skill-based, and if your DC/AC, DC/DO, and OP/Devo knew how to play the game, then no one could beat you no matter which class you played.
You are telling us that we should all switch to TR or Bard, because those are the two most broken DPS classes in the game. It's not good for the game and that's why the few remaining players leave the game.
Endless complaints? 🤡
That's my alt. First, you have to prove that you are not a bot. When you see me in the game, DM me, and then I will switch to my HR to dog on you. Also, the person who defends the current state of the game and supports bound items can only be considered a subhuman NPC.
There are only three classes that are now meta:
1. TR
2. Bard
3. HR.

For the answer you gave, they should shut down the game immediately.
Then more useless comments edging in with cute semantical arguments "nobody is forcing you to play a specific class". Yes I'm sure nbeast ACTUALLY means he's being forced. Tries to log in and finds himself in a Dev headlock, no release until he picks a different class...
Also gotta love the mentions for teamwork. Annnnd again, I'm sure nbeast is completely unaware that folks have to work together in much of this content...
He may want to do what he feels is competitive damage on the dps class he prefers WITHOUT letting his team have to carry. If that is the case I would agree as I would take a class I don't prefer yet performs at a higher level rather than letting my team work harder. Clearly some of you here have no exception to being a burden as long as you are doing what you want.
You've been here long enough to know the ups and downs of the game and classes. Barb is currently on the down. Remember when they were near the top?
Give up the passive aggression.
All the classes have had ups and downs, if we just left it at that, there would be at least 50% less to talk about thru the various forms of socials. I personally like it when the devs get slammed due to a bad take on class balancing. I doubt they notice on the forums these days or even have time to care considering all the bobbling heads fighting for position to kiss their azz's instead.
