Barb vs. Sin

[Fallendagger]

Why does barb's CC's take such shorter amount of time than Sin? Why is our kb slower than theirs when they obviously have more HP/armor and we're gimped as ****?

[Chass-]

You kidding right?

[Fallendagger]

Probably, yeah

Snap kick and clobber are about the same time.

Opp strike is instant.

The only thing that takes a little bit of time is death's gaze.

So not really sure what you mean here. Barbs obviously have more survivability than a sin, but a sin kills much faster. It all depends on the player.

Assassin vs Barbarian is pretty balanced match up. I would say the odds are in favor of assassin.

Khitai KB's are fastest in game btw

Such a bad joke thread.

A barb won't even notice where half his hps gone after the sin pushed 1 button. His bloodrage stack would probably reach 2 while 80% his hp gone after the next combo of the sin. He can't run away cause the sin will charge/root him and execute him. If the sin decides to run away the barb has no tools to run after him.

These classes are as far from being balanced as it can be in the game.

It really depends on the situation.
Most the time a good sin who pops every on of his cool downs almost guarantees a win.

However there will be a few times if played right barb can win easy.

Lets not get crazy, Barb is very cappable class.

- superior reach with every weapon
- also 1-button wonder called DECAP with no soul shards to manage
- plenty of CC that doesn't cost soul shards and do damage even if they don't CC.
- arcane marauder that can be triggered due to assassin's miasmas
- more armor, HP and better benefits coming from strenght stats that assassin gets from DEX.

Barbs are NOT hoxes, a lot assassins power comes from mitigating magic and in sin vs barb there is no magic to be managed.

LOL bringing up "shards" is just a joke.
I almost never ran out of shards in mini game never mind a duel.
Barbs can run all they want they'd still have to get close to do any damage, with the new combo skipping gone, barbs have to finish their combo or no blood rage goes up which means for sin you can either A cc B cc or C cc from SDS. Its too easy.
