Saw something on the MB about Barb DPS

The poster was deriding Woof builds as 'exploiters' and not real DPS...  I kind of disagree, but only from a pragmatic point of view.

The handwrap nonsence, and all the crybaby bullshit about Summer Smoke that came with it.. THAT was an exploit. An intentional, and consistent effort to stack effects until you had every proc in the universe on your wraps...  THAT was an exploit...

Woof? No.. this is just making use of existing mechanics.. and just like handwraps, there are SO FEW people actually willing to do it that it isn't even a pressing issue.

But putting that aside, he was also talking about how Barbs are the end all, be all of Sustained DPS, with Woofs lagging far behind, just slightly ahead of Bard?

WhatyoutalkinaboutWillis?  Huh

My Woof can solo Temple of Vol on EH at 20. At cap, my woof may only be doing between 500 & 800 a swing... but It can hit something 10 times a second. That is sustained, an the more I hit, the more my enhancements build. 

I have people mistaking my speed for one-shoting EE content.


For the longest time Sorcs were the end all be all.... then monks... then Palis.... SO WHAT? People play the way that fits how they LIKE to play, and most couldn't give a shit less what is best or badest. I know lots of folks who love playing casters, and have no interest in being a Melee just so they can have uber DPS.... some of us just like to play, and enjoy it most as a member of a party that works well together, or just sitting back waiting for that 1 player to kill everything before moving up for the treasure.

Barbs are the generic, low maintenance, don't need a lot of past life or thought put into them, end all be all. You also do not need a lot of skill to play a barb. (Not saying their aren't players with a lot of skill that enhance the barbs) just saying a newb can just crush content with a barb without having skill. You're wolf build, I would imagine would take, thought, planning and gear to make it as good as you state you are.

Fair enough.. and I have to admit, Mine isn't a typical Woof build. And from what I hear & have read, you're spot on about Barbs being 'right out of the box' near cookie cutter super DPS. But to be perfectly frank, anyone who doesn't have the desire to build and perfect a character, isn't likely to stay interested in the game for very long anyways... So I don't mind it one way or another...

... but gawd DAYUM I love eating my way thru a quest, treating everything that moves as my personal chew toy. Thank goodness I got UMD to deal with Beholders CONing the crap outa me

I don't think naming names would be a good thing for me to do, but I'd pretty much add anyone who's a know-it-all dick on the list.� Even if they are sometimes intelligent with their opinions, the way they state them in long, "i'm a lawyer at trial"-type posts makes me want to punch them in the face.� They act like whiney babies with god complexes and then freak out if someone so much as breathes criticism in their direction.

Kinda have to agree with this. Live it, love it, accept your exploiting and move on.

The only reasonable statement in here was "Cookie-cutter" barbs, which is true.

The Devs, in their attempt to give Barbs better DPS and survivability, "Robbed Peter to pay Paul."

So now, the Barbs have great DPS and self-reliance, but are all carbon-copy Tier 5 Ravager-Frenzied Berserker Capstone  Human/ PDK builds.

Only us old gimp anachronisms are running around on Dwarf Occult Slayers or Horc Berserkers. Roll Eyes

I would watch my fat mouth and continue sucking developer cocks until filled enough to call for nerfs like you do with your rather low post count, aka newly created account.

Btw insult my mother as much as you want with your rather immature attitude. At least she isn't sucking cocks together with her son demanding nerfs in order to start leading the kill count, you sick cunt. Hi welcome  Roll Eyes.

Because someone is new does not make you better than them because you just start shit.
Also, please try to make sense, you could start by taking the dick out of your mouth so we could understand you better.

All you do is making me laugh at your stupidity. Poor thing. Btw, you are not talking with anyone here. It is called typing nowadays. Understand, dimwit ?
