The barbarian sucks giant balls at low levels. It’s clunky, it’s slower than everything else due to being melee-only, fury generators don’t generate enough fury or do enough damage, on and on…
Once you hit level 50+, the barbarian starts to turn into A BARBARIAN. You’re not fury-starved anymore, you have enough HP to take hits while you round up enemies and cleave them down (I’m playing rend + maelstrom), you can blast through packs just as fast as other classes, and it’s generally a WAY better feeling class to play.
I played barbarian at launch and loved it. And this season I’ve tried almost every character before settling on Necro. But still miss barb. Just felt really good to play, especially in endgame
