HOTA will get the nerf hammer lol (pun intended) but it’s just kinda sad that we take the only viable spec that Barb has for PvP and single target boss encounters and then make them lame. WW is ok still but just nothing compared to HOTA. I’d like to see WW buffed if HOTA gets nerfed.


There's a really good double swing barb making the rounds (PvP only)

stop complaining about hota barb!

other builds are also op right now (rogue/tb/ps and many more)

d4 main focus is pvm and for pvp it will be always hard to get a good balance (this is no d2r)

if they would nerf all good builds noone will be able to kill uber lilith...

only solution i see there is to reduce hota barb dmg for pvp (not pvm)
but then rogues will be for sure strongest pvp chars!

Hota has been clearly bugged doing ridiculous damage forever

What does it take to fix it?

I literally stopped playing barb because it's so lame, and all these lames running around smacking the ground are getting annoying

Obviously I don't care about pvm but it's ridiculous for pvp


And when did you "stop playing barb" with 3+ weeks of rogue and druid FT threads?

This definitely doesn't sound like a "I'm one of you guys but I don't agree with it" topics.

Bring back the pvp power to ww 🔥

So far I did about 800-1m hatred farm woth my ww.

Cant face a good rogue or a Hota, but I can run fast around and keep surviving to their charge. Ww is so fast lol. I extract many hatred with 1 or 2 people on me! I cant fight them .. I just can pvp woth other pve build ... and thats sad .. but at 2 days of the next season, I wont invest on a Hota pvp build ... I will hope ww will be new pvp meta for next season lol

Pvm are both viable tbh. I can push nm70 with my ww and im not still maximize. Hota can do t100 if top gear. Both are rrally viable for pvm. But pvp its top hota. Ww is weak vs real pvp builds. But it can survive and dominate some other pve builds who farm the hatred zone ... lol 😅

You don’t need to worry about it, blizzard already confirmed they’re nerfing it

I’m sure they’ll go way over the top and it will be utterly useless
