    Are you sure that the Barb didnt use Invoke or a Genie skill to reduce your damage?

    Apparently also 7x. Only thing I can think of was maybe bad weap and unlvled skills, or as people have already said, invoke, probably latter.

    We were both 7x a couple lvls shy from each other... I have a legend weap and he has legend axes. Im guessing it was invoke any suggestions on how to fight a barb that can invoke every 60 seconds o.O

    Learn to control your enemies, never let them get close to you. Kite when he is on invoke (good thing for you is that invoke slows the barb), afterwards use stun, paralyze, slow. Diminished Vigor can be useful too. Protect yourself with Soul of Stunning or Soul of Retaliation.

    ^This.

    I find stunning to be more useful against clerics, barbs, wizzies, seekers, psychics. I use retaliation on archers(because they always ALWAYS seem to lead with stunning arrow lol), bms, and sins.

    Veno, it can kinda go either way though retaliation might be good if they have a nix, but if you do get bled by it anyway psy will is great for purifying it and allowing you to ignore the nix and just stun/DD the veno.

    Mystic, idk haven't fought too many of them on my psy, but I don't really think it matters since the smart ones will lead with thicket, and thicket wipes both stunning and retalliation without effecting them since it counts as a summon and goes onto the plants which disappear immediately anyway, and retaliation won't save you from the seal/freeze because it hits more than once.
