hey guys, recently i made a post on all the changes i would like to see on mod 27 for the barbarian, because right now, barbarian are probably the lowest dps class in the game, and unfortunately they only do damage.... so this post will be more "extreme" changes, almost a class rework. mostly rage changes. but first why barbarians should be top dps
-next to no hard crowd control.
-only melee, no range attack
-short range attack
- no roll or dodge
so heres the changes that could be cool
1- while in rage you gain combat advantage against everyone. when behind the enemy you deal x% more damage( would be more cool if its when facing... but tank player will hate this..)
this change will help a lot for aoe combat,
2-while in rage, your atwill applies a stack of bleed, dealing a small amount of dmg every second(per stacks). at X stack, lets say 5, the enemies become wounded, taking x% more damage from all souces, plus on wounded enemy your encounters deals a extra magnitude damage.
i think 10magnitudes per second, per stack is good, so it would deal like 50mag, around 40-50k dmg per second on a maxed out character and your encounters deal an additional 100 mag on wounded enemies, bleed last 5sec but the timer reset when bleed is re applied, so it could have a 100% uptime if well managed. this change can bring the barbarian back into the top dps,
this change will help st and aoe fights, in single target i think this change will help to gain around 10-15% more damage, in aoe it will help a lot against high hp adds, like in mtos or mdwp
3. this is from DND, you cannot die while in rage, if you fall under 1hp you will stay alive as long as you have rage once rage is over you will die. or
you can change it into something cooler...
if you fall under 1hp during rage you go into a state of pure rage for X second(X min cd), unable to use encounters and daily, you can only use upgraded sure strike dealing even more damage, after time runs out, you die.
this will be really cool and can be clutch in some scenario and since pvp is pretty much dead theres no need to worry about this.
so yeah this is all my, lets say unrealistic changes to the barbarian, if you want to see something more likely to happen you can read my other post. thank you
