I've never played barb, no need to be snyde


Seriously though, find item is good. The biggest problem right now is Blizzard is the #1 skill in the game. Blessed Hammer is #2. If both of those skills were brought down from being 100x as good as Wake of Inferno or 20x as good as Armageddon, then you'd see a lot more builds other than Blizzard and Hammer.

Blessed hammer > blizzard by 1000% on PC, blizzard is #1 on console. With enigma and mouse targeting teleports you can 1-shot everything.

But the overkill damage is insane, I'm sure you can make a barb fast enough to clear shit to make it viable for players 1

That's the bots though. The statistics don't lie:

The first 7 days of ladder, Blizzard is the most used damage skill in the game. After you get Enigma, hammer is the bot skill-of-choice as history shows.

Bots =/= reflect real gameplay. Bots are a cancer to this game, community, and henceforth the reason d2r was unsuccessful in reviving d2 permanently.

The botting along with the server issues and terrible optimization all contributed to the failed launch. Whilst d2 already had a solid community
and adding to it wasn't that hard as it's an already well known game, it failed to retain its community.

Fuck bots.

But yes, sorceress = free teleport, otherwise you need enigma (necessity for any character interested in mfing efficiently, demand = infinite, supply = very, very low) so early mfers will always opt for a sorceress and for andy/mephisto/ancient tunnels runs on a low geared budget mf sorc blizzard puts in massive work on players 1 and can do tons of work on players 3 and 5 and insane work on p7 with a solid fathom/nightwing.
