Also, the presence of the HoX probably explains why the zerker barb went 12/4 in the first video, while he went 5/10 in the second when there was no lowbie on the other team. Again, doesn't look that OP to me.
Now you may say that this is just an example. But quite frankly, what I see in this thread is very good PvPers complaining that the buff to barb was not needed. But (i) if players like Surgery or you didn't need a buff to barb, that doesn't mean that barb is now OP, and (ii) in any case, I am not sure whether any class should be analysed based on how a player like Surgery or you performs in a random mini context. Fact is that barb can now be very powerful, but there are plenty of barbs who are still not able to pull it off.
