If Barbarians are to be more enjoyable and quick to level like the other classes. They do less damage than all the other classes. So no, the melee barb is not good for majority of the time you play them, unless you get super lucky on a decent unique item or rare. Barbarians absolutely need a buff in some way, their damage curve is objectively bad, I mean hell, just go to a skill calculator and look at the % physical damage bonus they get compared to a Paladin. It's for this reason I will never recommend to a new player, or returning player, that they pick the Barbarian. Cuts through normal and nm like a hot knife through butter with absolute trash gear. Sorceress, massive elemental damage from your chosen damage type. Easiest class to level.ĭruids have fissure for leveling, and deal massive damage with minimal gear requirements using tornado and hurricane late game.Īssassins have traps, and great melee builds early on that deal a lot of physical and elemental damage. Necromancers have summons, magic damage, crowd control/damage reduction with curses.

Holy fire absolutely rocks normal mode up to act 3, and with enough plus skills can function in hell. Paladin can go holy shock for easy norm/nm leveling. In terms of leveling builds the Barbarian has nothing that scales the way other classes do.Īmazons can deal a lot of lightning damage with bad items. Late game Barbarians can have magic damage added to their damage via berserk, frenzy, or concentration. Barbarians do have natural crit with masteries, but the added damage from it early game is terrible compared to other class damage curves. They have a single damage type that they get bonuses to, physical and even the Paladin has a higher %damage increase than the Barbarian does. Saying "It's not as fast as clearing the game from scratch as other classes", is really understating how slow they are. The Barbarian is outdone early in terms of damage by almost every other class. And pitzerker is the best mf character in the game. It's not as fast clearing the game from scratch as other classes but it is completely viable.
