Most of the other classes are ranged and have movement abilities to avoid leap. Where do you think a Barbarian will be, 1-5 in pvp?

When I look at barbarians, I think of the Hulk, we all need those that want to smash things.

Barbarian is going to own

Hooks for the win

[zkyz]

Will enrage will be pretty hard to kill =S

[Chiefain]

Pretty op, so much mobility

[asgard79]

It will be completly OP !!

[LarsW]

I hope either barbarians will be op, spending all my gold atm on my barb, otherwise I'll have to roll my wizard.

[seraphim4]

leap, weaponthrow, furius charge, berserk, ancient spear and hota
if you use that you should have enough mobility to take care of those pesky ranged classes

[zeroRooter]

let's just hope pvp releases before i die of old age

[bukcsi]

Yes I think every class will be viable.

[dalkan13]

they should be tight with all the mobility spells

I'm struggeling to see witch doctor as viable. Every other class has defensive skills / healing skills. Witch doctor just has pets, and a situational armour buff. Who knows though...

[Cobearz]

Anyone can be viable for PvP.

Its if the person wants to take the time to learn to make the class they play viable.

People said Ret Pallys BC where crap, proven wrong. People said Warriors are crap in Cata, proven wrong. People say this and that and never really "try" to be good. Their only real skill is complaining.

Will Barbs be viable? Hell yes. They are the strongest atm imo.

Will other classes possibly rule over the barb? My god if you think not...DUMB!

[cdxliv]

Barbs will be good for initiating and CC, otherwise pretty bad.

[thormond]

HotA is gonna be so mainstream on everything (dat 0.8 proc coeff and dmg)

While I think barbs will kick some ass, I can't help but to think back to when i went to the 2011 blizzcon and played a wizard at their pvp area. Ofc balancing has happened since, but at that time I had aout 46 kills / 5 deaths compared to the second top player who had 19 kills. I played against a barb / monk / DH / wizard. They couldn't touch me =D

[Livingwater]

Staying alive is the number one consideration in PvP, and barbs do have an upper hand in this area. I would say 4 though, not 5, since a faster attack from a wiz or dh could still take them out.
Much of it depends on the format of the PvP arenas too. How much of the environment is available for LoS and duck and cover factors in.

[Ranje]

i think barbs gonna own the arena

[lyx]

Let say 400k ranged dps vs 100k hp barb - if someone really think that melee class can stand a chance must be naive or just dumb . I like even more all those comments about skill and builds - wrong game dude it's all about gear and $$$ at end.
