    I think barb is in a great place after the PVP gear revamp.

    They have great protection, very high health regen, and good dps combined with an overall quick twitch type playstyle. Keep in mind there is also several open world pvp events coming on to live. Barb will do great it all of them except possibly the solo arena which rewards those classes with bubbles and heavy defenses.

    Conq is getting a slight nerf on the other hand with this new patch, right now they are pretty god mode.

    Heavy defenses, multiple bubbles, great dps with both brute(2H) and Carnage (2x1H) spec. I think this class will also do great in the open world quests. With a good group you will almost never die if played correctly.

    Overall: I think the Barb will be a more rewarding class for you. They are great fun and that's the one id pick. See you on the battlefield!

    Conq = barb except with full plate, faster combos, higher burst and multi bubbles.
    Take a wild guess which one is better.

    Conq is better as far as AoE combos go. Barb has only stun and knockback for CCs.
    Speed is the best of all classes if you feat AM, true, but you don't kill anyone nor mitigate any damage with speed. And being melee, speed or not, if you want to actually do something you need to enter melee range. And if you want to do decent damage, you are still forced to self-root for the stupidly long barb combo finisher animations, forcing you to choose between remaining mobile or doing damage, with no chance of getting both at the same time.

    Seriously, are you trying to say barb is on the same level or better than conq in PvP?

    Speed actually does help mitigate A LOT of damage. Mostly melee but also ranged because you can run behind cover and block los faster than anyone else. Is conq easier? Sure. More forgiving? Certainly. But barb is still extremely solid with the new gear and I dare say it's way more fun and rewarding than conq.

    "Mitigation by running away" puts the rest of your team at a tactical disadvantage and doesn't help you kill anyone, especially if you're melee. Compare that to a bubble, or hell, to normal armor mitigation for that matter.

    well tbh, conq feels harder to play for me, sure its stupid with bubbles and all, but barb is more simple
