What is the problem with this.

From a glance, nothing. Just squishies right?

But when analyzed, you have CC Lock and Death from Above, behind, Left/Right while someone is stabbing your face from the safety of their Tidal. But that's nothing to cry about. Sure, skills are unbalanced and probably will always be unbalanced. So enough of this balance out the skills. Most people are suggesting that to make a full circle we most go backwards. I race cars, >.> I'm not going in reverse. They already have it, so lets find something for us.

Siv siv, what is all this about?
I'll tell you little boy!

Its called...

The Kitty Pounce f:hehe

Each class is equiped with dealing with both Range and Melee, wither it be kitting or having the ability to CLOSE GAPS.

Speed, wither it be drug(apoth) or inherited (being able to lvl up their passive or active skill), is not a gap closer. (I will talk more about this later).

Currently, there are 10 classes. 7 Range, 3 Melee.

Out of the 6 range classes, 3 of these Range classes have the ability to actually Close gaps (wither it be a kitting ability or actually getting closer to the target). Leaving the other 3 with Range Stun, freeze, and Sleep on a quick CD and little to no Chi cost at all.

Out of the 3 Melee classes, 2 of these classes have the ability to both Close Gaps and Kit (thought for a BM mainly used to close). Leaving 1 class with neither of these abilities.

Yes Barbs, we have nothing but are Nature speed in tiger form to close our games, and hope that we can hit a Vac powder in time to not get frozen, stunned or Slept (Ohh the trolling cleric sleep from above). This actually, even with our Invoke, arma(?), Cornered Beast and are NEW para skill at a disadvantage. If you are Celest and have the Skill Ancestral Rage, i suppose you could call this a "Gap Closer" if you have a enemy that does NOT get 1 shot from it and does NOT have a way to either hide whilst being frozen or simple jump further away. Yes, tis a cruel world for the barb.

Suggestion time f:sneaky

Make Ancestral Rage a gap closer!

Keep the skill exactly the same but change it from "Violently lash out..." to "Violently (Leaps/Jumps/Pounces) out/at..." a 20 meter Leap with a 8 sec freeze is hardly worth the QQ that it will get. But if you play barb, is highly necessary when you take into consideration the point of CC and Defenses Range players have Coupled with the DPH to bring down a barb with out really spending too much time unless they miss click, or have a CD they didn't notice.

Yes, we are monstrous in closer range and no I have no forgotten about our troll anti air skill with its trolly 35 range. But on ground level, and with atleast 60% of archo atm being rrr9 now, that skill is not more than a charm tick if used on a target on the ground. Furthermore, its hardly worth using unless you know it will kill someone. But at the cost of 2 sparks, id rather use sunder >.>

This post is just something I've been mulling over for a while in my head. Most RPG tanks have a gap closer and it seems odd that this class does not. Some RPGs even go as far as giving all class a gap Closer. And being a kitty, i think I deserve to pounce on a target. I know this post will get the "Thats broken..." post and idc, meh, this is more for just sharing my idea and living up the barb forums.

Added bonus for trolls sake:

Take our Mighty Swing, turn it back into a Stun chance. Place the new Para proc on Ancestral Rage and make it a leap a 8 second Para proc that is a Gap Closer that Cost 1 spark in kitty form. Worth! I'd give up Firestorm, Swell and Raging Slap for that .

Da Kitty Pounce!
