Support barb is only a thing due to a bug with their helmet: Skull of Resonance. This helmet is bugged and ignores the current DR system, effectively giving barbs a way to perma cc. This is unintended and has been addreissed (blue post) as a bug by blizzard. Any "support barb" builds we see now will not make it to live, as they bring very little outside of the bugged cc and a decent ability to pull (which monk and sader do better while bringing dps buffs).
Lol no. Look at Dutchfreak's gr74 4p setup, no Skull of Resonance... Barb brings a good share of offense, huge defense, and a long range pull.
Yeah it's like nobody in this thread has payed any attention to PTR. Support Barb is mandatory for high GR group play because it brings huge dmg reductions (shared ignore pain especially), decent dps (de)buffs, and can pull mobs. For speeds you want 2x XP supports which is pretty much barb + pull monk because you don't want any +CC from supports since it will prevent the 2 monk dpsers from proc'ing broken promises.
