DC's get 2 offense comps, that's true, they also get 2 utility, which is basically as good or better than an offense. Still only 1 defense. My main gripe isn't the 3 defense, different talk. It's the amount of defense companions you get to pick from, 68 total. Utility comps total 77 somehow, and offense 92. So you get less to choose from, for 3 of your 5 slots. Other classes can mix and match a better combination easily.

We acutally did it on Pre with a barb tank, the dps path needs work but the tank doenst look that bad imo.
Now that is a great news, but sadly, i didnt make a gwf to be a tank. Doubt anyone did really. So i dont think im gonna give a tank build a shot. But thx for putting a better light on this whole barbarian thing.
For the hack of it i sold all my alts stuff to get anough ad to rebuild barbarian. Got him everything. all rank 15's, orange insignias, mounts, bondings, maxed runestones, all kinds of arty's.. the works.. So im almost BIS now, got few more things to work on but even finished wont make much of a difference. ( 1-2% dmg at best?) So i do play with some beastly cw's and hr's daily. Mostly LOMM runs and with a good cw or hr i always fall short by 15mil at least on finished run. So i still think any number of offense companions wouldnt help the class. It would be a step in a right direction but nowhere near what is needed. Hope we find a nice working tank build at least for next mod's trial or we will have a hard time when new trial comes.
As dps barbie just need more different things than in previous modules to deal same damage. I mean that in the past you had need to have much less investitions in you character but you still had top dps just because you were GWF. While now you have to create almost bis character to have same damage as bis characters of other classes.
No, not really. At bis level u will never have same dps as true dps classes.
I play as barbarian very long time and I think that the class has a good dps if you know how to play him, but unfortunately the gameplay character is very boring. The playstyle must be changed to be interesting again.
You may not be as fast, and do less on mobs, but who cares really about the trash mobs. On final boss youll do over 20-30 mil in LOMM. The other DPS don't blow by you there. It's the trash. One of the reasons I quit using axes and mixed in a diff at will, usually solo target. Why bother on the trash for AOE skills when theyre usually dead already. Also, depends on the group. If have BIS CW/HR, usually tough just to keep up, and I don't mean the DPS standing at end of dungeon. The DPS per hit is the same, but as concrete shoe barb's and stamina that gets sucked out like a HAMSTER out of wonder womans HAMSTER, trash we always lose.
Barbarian is good until you get into end game group play. The class just doesn't work well in that format. The tank side is perfectly fine to tank all content. It has all of the same options as the other tanks minus healing from the OP and less survivability compared to dig in from the fighter on large hits. Due to this it will most likely be the third tier option to tank ToMM in the future.
