With both Monks and Barbs, yet again, 10+ levels behind Wizards and a good 5+ levels all other classes, it seems us avid Monk / Barb players have received the short end of the stick, as usual. In groups, even with high ranked gems, ancient weapons / gear and equivalent paragon, my Monk doesn't even come close to holding a candle to the DPS a Wizard, DH, Crusader (or WD for that matter), so once again we're forced to play the Support role. Barbs are in the same boat and seeing one in a group is extremely rare.
With so many content and balance patches that have hit the servers, I can only believe certain individuals on the development team really don't like these two classes (Barbs even more so with the complete lack of thought to truly game changing Legendaries and lack of Barb Legendaries in general).
I guess the only hope we have to look forward to is Diablo 4?
