I dont want to wait for what...6 months again so that they might finally make barb playable in groups, this is just ridicolus.
I am playing 0dps sader over my fully geared barb, simply because i have to.
It is stupid that we are forced to play the way blizzards wants us to play and not use our own builds!
Even if we use what they expect us to use, we cannot play in groups after G40+, because we get kicked out simply because we are very inneficient at it.
We are glas canons that do shitty dps on top compared to other glas canons.
They need to find a "sweet spot", which not as easy as just to sum up % of damage and say, hey if you can do gr60 like this, we will do 300% damage isntead of 500% and you will do gr50 with that, which we are ok with.
Monster HP scale with 17% above the previous grift level not 17% of monsters base HP value. WHich means that if you do something like lover the damage on barb multiplier to 100% from 500%, you may end up in doing grift 35 instead of 50( which i belive is somewhat targeted area they want to accomplish.
So when you assume that every 7 levels thats 3x the health of monster, that only applies to certain grift levels, for example from GR 40 - 47 but wont be true anymore from lets say lv50-57 because growth gets exponential like: 100 + 17% = 117, but 117+17% = 136,89 ( and not 134 as you assumed).
And for semi-offtopic, i liked the "old" 2.2 IK bonus better, since we would finally have a potential that wouldn't be dependant on CDR, since perma beserker and new pants or bracers whatever they decide to make...i know it is less damage than what it is now but it is so fun imho to be able to make almost any build worthvile since perma beserker could possibly make it viable.
For people saying that the nerf to 100% is too low: you would be able to clear GR 54-55 with that.
For the math:
Damage with IK atm = 600% (100% + 500%)
Damage with IK (considering 6pc is 100% bonus) = 200% (100% + 100%)
Effective nerf = 600/200 = 3 times less damage
Now monster health goes 17% higher at every grift level. Meaning that a difference of 7 levels makes for a difference of nearly 3 times the health
So if barbs can clear GR61 on PTR, they'd be able to clear GR61-7 = GR54 with a 100% IK 6pc
By the way no IK 6pc would probably be able to clear 49 or higher.
Having "only" a 100% would keep barbs in a good position while retaining the build diversity the barb has atm. It would even make the barb the best class in solo with wiz.
So people, stop crying about 6pc being as "low" as 100%, it still is pretty good (even though all runes perma wotb + perma ancient is already very good for a 4pc).

Why fire oriented and not physical? How is the last rune in shield bash department from your POV ?

Yea, nice writeup. I agree that wastes set needs some sort of permanent fury regen build into the set to open up some option.

Your math is flawed.
