Whose idea was it that all of a barbs damage would come from hota or earthquakes?

Why cant ww barb be balanced with some quick fix to their dmg numbers? Doesn't it take like 5 minutes changing a line of code so they can do 110+ pits like every other class?

1. They just don't care - for example, if you look at incinerate - it is probably worst skill in entire game, despite they did some buffs after a year or so, lol.

2. Channeling skills can't crit or overpower, and that's in a game where everybody stacks multiplicative modifiers, how cool is that? And again they just don't care about fixing it (ww can crit but can't overpower, but still damage is not enough).

edit: Your propose with flat damage increase will also not work just because of that - you need to put full multiplicative on channelling skills.

tldr: if you just increase ww damage it will likely be too high compared to other skills. You either need to make it real crit+overpower, or remove multiplicative modifiers from game.
