[D4] I really like the Barbarian's power curve (lemmy.world)

The barbarian sucks giant balls at low levels. It's clunky, it's slower than everything else due to being melee-only, fury generators don't generate enough fury or do enough damage, on and on...

Once you hit level 50+, the barbarian starts to turn into A BARBARIAN. You're not fury-starved anymore, you have enough HP to take hits while you round up enemies and cleave them down (I'm playing rend + maelstrom), you can blast through packs just as fast as other classes, and it's generally a WAY better feeling class to play.

Just dump everything into rend, thorns, and shouts, in that order, until level 25 or 30. Then respec into lunging strike with bleed with all the shouts, iron skin, and zerker upgrades. Enjoy never dying and watching the waves of demons punch themselves in the face to death.

While I haven't tried barb yet, I played druid in preseason and had similar experience to yours. I am probably in a minority, but I like slower combat overall. What's the point of resource like mana or fury, when it's completely full all the time? Once you starve a bit, it makes for decisions, priorities. I don't want Diablo to be PoE flying all over the place and clearing whole screens of enemies.

You’re not fury-starved anymore

How? That is still the main issue I have, the barb is fun while shouts are running but in between he is squishy and kinda toothless.
