I don't see how nerfing a ranged situational skill a melee class has will be game breaking and make your way harder through Inferno. It's not like it'll be impossible to kill creatures in melee range on Inferno (and if that was the case, the whole game would break, not only for the barbarian).
I really want to play the Barb on launch so therefore I have been following closely any changes or improvements to his skills. But I have noticed a constant pattern with every patch since at least 13 that he has been nerfed in way or another every time. In this latest patch weapon throw nerfed 20 %, what are they afraid of? that he mite survive Inferno.....oh no! can't have that lets weaken him some more. Demon Hunter in patch 16 got a good buff in a lot of ways which is fine even tho I thought she was starting to hold her own any way. All I am saying is give the Barb a break, soon there will not be any decent skill to go with because he will be too balanced and no skill will be efficient enough in tougher area's......your views?
Internal testing. Over and over and over and over. Nuff said.

You can't honestly believe half of this. You think Blizzard wants one class (or to put it in much nicer % terms, 20% of their game) to be worthless? You can't be serious. They are tweaking the numbers so that damage is similar amongst the classes. DH got a good buff in patch 16 because their skills were all lackluster. You haven't even had a chance to look at the unique and class sets of the Barbarian.
All of your comments are misinformed and quite frankly, lack basic logic. Please refrain from flooding these forums with illogical and whine based posts. I come here to try to read interesting insights, perspectives and thoughts from other people. Not this kind of sad, sad posting.
Guys, this nerfing is getting way out of hand, having to kill things in 2 hits instead of 1 and still being the most OP hero is completely unacceptable. I want Diablo to turn into dust just from looking at me without having to even to move my mouse to target him/her.
If you had trouble with any class in D2 going through soloing the whole thing...
1. Your build was garbage
2. Your gear was still from Normal
3. You're a bad gamer
That pretty much sums it up. If you played a bow or javazon, If you played with a spear, that's way more gear intensive.
All you had to do was pump points intro strafe, points into valk, some pierce, some crit, some evad avoid dodge etc. golden? If you had more gear you could go multishot, but for a no gear bowazon strafe was easier. Then once you farm great gear with strafe, you could respec to a more offensive build and go MS, especially when your merc got geared.

I lol,, a QQ about barb nerfs? Have you even played the beta? You might as well call Barbarians God. Barb is prolly my #2 class I'll level and believe me the barb needs to be toned down. A lot. Compared to most the other 4. (Specially the poor wizard lol)
OMFG:D This must be one of the most idiotic posts I have ever read in any topic on any forum...ever. The game is not out yet and already you're qq'ing about nerfs and whining that the class is going to be balanced....wtf dude? I really hope ur trolling and that you realise how stupid what you said was. Otherwise... I'm sorry, I don't want to live on this planet anymore:D
Hilarious, this thread actually accomplished something. It has made everyone who read it become 100% certain that OP is an idiot.
I know for a fact that you haven't played inferno, which means you haven't the faintest idea how the barbarian class fairs in inferno, yet you're already complaining that barbs aren't able to survive... /facepalm
