i vouch everything trix123 says. ive dueled more barbs on my kicker than any other matchups: in 10 duels, ill win maybe 1 or 2. more if the barb isnt geared well or if the player makes mistakes.
the permalock after a ww only happens if you do short ww's and stop in the middle of a bunch of traps. these are the only wins i can squeeze. you can change how you ww to limit these.
like you mentioned, ping will also be a huge factor, because 500ping = 0.5second delay before you can cast another ww; loads of opportunity to get stunlocked.
kicker matchups with/without mind blast:

this assumes both player on equal footing. i played vs mrhandsome's cold sorc without mind blast: in like 7 duels i didnt win a single one. hes a way better player than me ♥
