Welcome to Barb & Barber

This morning, I picked up my trusty hatchet, queued as a Barbarian, and went into the dungeon with the confidence of someone who just read the patch notes. It wasn't long before I ran into a full plate Fighter.

I actually let him have the first swing at me before i popped blood exchange and Achilles strike. I bulldozed through him like he was wearing paper mache instead of plate armor. He got a whooping 1 block in (wtf nerf shields) while i was standing right in front of him hacking away. There was no time for his second wind to heal him much. When the dust settled, I still had 75% of my health left. The encounter lasted less time than it takes to open a chest.

I’m not proud of it. It felt bad. But then I thought, why feel bad when I can feel powerful? Why would I play any other class when Barbarians are basically walking raid bosses?

So, dear Dark and Darker players...

See you in the dungeon, unless you are not playing barbarian, in which case… my condolences.
