The Barbarian is weak

Definitely NOT weak.
The only time I have joined a group was when I had to face Mervaille. Myself using my Witch Thurge, a Ranger and a Marauder. He was the same level as all of us. It was a lvl 15-19 group that I set up. He was able to stand in her face and pound on her and only once did his life slip below full enough for me to worry...without him being able to do that, I believe we would have had a party wipe...so while YOUR Barbarian may be weak, I would say they are not, generally speaking, a weak class. |

He resembles more of an Ogre than a Troll, even though he can have Troll's Blood at later levels.

" Oh my lord, the vagaries of f2p; this answer has to be the weakest in the thread and ppl are agreeing with it. Character design is what you make of it, "within the constraints set by the developers"; bad design = limited or bad builds. Melee builds are inferior to ranged builds and everyone knows it, yes they work, but no where near as efficiently as ranged builds, which is why we have silly shit such as wand and shield Templar in game. Regardless of any trolling by the op, any number of ppl coming to the game for the first time are going to assume that most sensible melee builds will be viable, and are going to fall foul of this games "particular" design. Every day in chat ppl are complaining about re rolling a melee char once they hit cruel or merciless difficulties because thy didn't stack the shit out of hp's earlier in their build and thought abilities such as dual or viper strike made sense and would work for dual wield archetypes. I have to wonder how many have tried playing solo in the higher difficulties with a melee char, my guess most of those with glib smart ass answers in the forums have not. Regards Hexcaliber

Im not one for saying "just wait," but seriously just wait. This game is going to get balanced repeatedly who knows when exactly but its not like melee will be gibbed forever.

" This. Stop expecting open beta to be release. it's NOT release, nor is it - at this time - close to release. If you aren't willing to deal with what we have then move along until later - nothing to see here. You kids act like everything is supposed to be finished to your specifications the moment you come along to play regardless of where the game is at in the pipeline. Not happening. In other games - you get a cookie whether you win or lose. PoE not only takes your cookie and eats it in front of you, it slaps you upside the head a few times for bringing a cookie in the first place.

" I suppose everything with the core mechanics is finished when they open a CASH SHOP. I can't name this game "beta" with a CASH SHOP. Won't happen, beta is for testing, cash shop $$$ is for earning money with a finished product (finished as "melee doesn't suck and dual wielding doesn't suck and elemental >> physical" and HP+armor >> evasion/ES and so on).
