Tbh, I truly believe we deserve a big biff, or other classes deserve a decent nerf. Especially DH. I have 3 DH friends on Act 3 Inferno, all with the same gear as me (Better weapon damage though, but still).
Either its tough for everyone, or its fine for everyone.

Thoughts?
Rofl, ever tried playing DH?
It's not a dance on roses farming A3 I'll tell you, dodge every fucking projectile, dodge EVERYTHING, kite FOREVER.
Barbies farm A3 just as easy with the correct gear, it's not about the SAME gear, obviously you won't have the same as a demon hunter, stacking dex on barbarian I'm confused on how you even beat a1.
You won't have 100k dps as a Barbie, nor will you have 800 all resist as a demon hunter.
Same LEVEL of gear, why would I stack dex on a Barb, what am I, retarded?
I have a lvl 55 DH atm. Barely die. About 1\10 the times I died with my Barb while soloing through the acts leveling, or playing with friends.
Same as when I ask my friends if they die a lot, they answer "only if I'm not paying attention"
You aren't going to see buffs and nerfs like in WoW. Besides any obvious outliers, the classes will mostly be left alone. Simply put, we haven't realised their full potential. We don't know what the optimal builds are yet. We don't know the optimal gearing strategies. We have theories, certainly. But we don't know for certain.
It'd be pre-mature for Blizzard to waltz in with sweeping buffs/nerfs. They've dealt with the obvious problems that warranted swift action. For the rest? Wait and see. Don't get your hopes up for buffs, you'll probably just get disappointed.

Don't judge demon hunter unless you played it in act 2+ inferno. Of course you don't die if you are paying attention before lvl 60. But when EACH hit is a one way ticket to the graveyard, it's not that easy. Yes, 2-shotting white mobs is fun, no doubt about it. But it is also pretty hard.
2 shotting a mob means he doesn't even get near you.
We die on white mobs because they hit us, there is no other way around it.
And do you even bother reading my posts before commenting? My DH friends ARE in ACT 3 Inferno. Not Act 2, Not "before inferno", IN Inferno.

Actually, your original post didn't say "Inferno" at all... I was in fact confused on weither you meant Inferno or Hell. Since DH have insane trouble in Inferno, especially after Act I. Even when you are really geared, you still have to kite for ages and if you mess up and get hit even once, you're dead.
But a sufficiently geared Barb can just jump in, annihilate everything, and move along...

"sufficiently" = x5-10 geared as the DH.
And ofc I was talking about Inferno. Why would I be talking about Hell. Who cares about Hell :/..
Meh, this has been beaten to death. Melee classes always have to concentrate on armor and damage mitigation while simultaneously increasing damage. That's an expensive endeavor. That's how it is in most every game.
I'm just saving for a stormshield or its rare equivalent so I can get that crazy block % and damage reduction from mobs.
I could use some love, but I don't expect it in 1.02. Maybe in 1.1, doubtful but possible in 1.03. I still really love barbarian, I just wish it was more on par with others in some ways.
Only thing I worry about in a3 as a barb, with stats that could be had in a2, are melee with attacks I can't dodge. Don't stand it stupid shit, move out of the way of ranged projectiles. I leaped into a pack of 30 skeletons, mix of sword and bow, under the keep level 1. Revenge spam and keep defensive cd's up = win.
Is it infuriating at times, quite. You still die often, especially to overtuned mobs. If blizzard does anything, it would be to tune down said mobs, due to how spiky it makes damage. Don't hold your breath for a barb buff though.
Meh, the difficulty is what I expected and I'm happy I chose a Barb. It's annoying that other classes made progress quicker, but that really doesn't affect me personally. My time was best spent farming like crazy and I noticed a dramatic difficulty decline in Act II after I thoroughly upgraded my stats in Act I. I'm in the process of repeating for Act III, which is exactly what I wanted out of the game.
I'm having a good time and enjoy the challenge. I like how impactful gear upgrades feel. If other classes aren't experiencing the same difficulty then that's unfortunate, but I'm still happy with the tuning for Barbs.
So I see a lot of "dont judge DH before you played it and bla bla bla" Me as a monk and my friend as a DH. Are both well geared. We always grouped until inferno where we wanted to solo and see how well we can do. We completly destroyed act 1 inferno as most ppl do anyway. Now onto act 2 we both needed to gear up to beat the content without skipping rare pack. Some pack I had to skip due to bad affix. Same for him. We get to Belial. He defeated belial on his DH in 17 seconds. ( Phase 3 that is ) And you tell me that he has a almost hard time as any other class? Are you joking me? I had to work my a$$ off to beat Belial solo monk. I did beat him. Im completly stuck in act 3 now having to rethink of another way of tanking/regearing/rebuilding my whole char. While hes completly destroying everything very fast. Please. Stop saying DH are very well balanced compare to other class. You go roll a barb or a monk and tell me its the same thing

Accept the challenge and beat it's face in. That's that barbarian way. :Thumbs Up:
Oh I love the challenge I dont complain about it. I complain about ppl saying DH have it as hard as melee. Which is completly not true. Not even remotely close.
Guess ill just get those 5 extra levels going so I can start farming act 2-3 instead of staring at the AH praying for something decent just to be able to tank a white mob.
only thing I can complain about(witch 100 other people have)is the WD pets...its true in inferno they get 1 shot..either buff them or take them out of the game. it is a useless skill to have along with the skills that go along with them.

Idk how many times blizzard has said buffs and nerfs will be made. It's called a balance patch for a reason.
