Ive enjoyed classic the last few years ww'ing with barbs using all from lances to executioners swords and what not.

Had hoped with this dlc I could play barb.

But it seems no big changes?

Double swing on switch => instant amplify damage with the difference that monsters don't flee from you like with lacerator.

I thought amp dmg and death ward don’t stack? Grim ward does -120 physical res, amp only does 100. Annoying to use I suppose but it’s what I’ve been doing on my barb
