Barbaric Blow+How does it work in 3.01?

[Gs11]

I've question about Barbaric Blow:

 

-in 3.01 it says, that crit multipliers no longer works for carnage

- but AoE should still works as 1,25 effect, though when I test cursor area attack, I see no difffrence  area between normal attack and  attack from Barbaric Blow

 

does it really works ?

The barbarian has very few things at affirm, and it is still nerfed? ^^! OMG^^

 

The goal of the barbarian is an efficiency on the groups... Plz obsidian don't nerf again the barbarian : p

 

He have really few things already.

 

Worse, in high levels...

 

Nerf barbaric blow its very bad idea...

 

Wizard :

+15 accuracy (level 1)

50 % speed alacrity.

A lot AoE powers.

Fireball and a great list of power. 4/Rest.

With citzal spirit lance for the same effect of Barbarian...

 

Barbarian :

Variable improved accuracy : Threatening menace + Brute Force (2 talents spend...)

33 % speed Frenzy

Carnage little AoE

Heart of the fury on the little range of carnage. 1/Rest

 

Dragon leap / Echoing shot = useless or not practical.

 

Ranger :

Lot of accuracy.

Shot behind + Twin arrow

Pet do 100+ damage in endgame.

Wounding shot (double damage overtime) 2/Encounter.

 

More, ALL the class CAN now have the stranger frenzy (talent multiclass) +25 % speed per encoutner. So the barbarian have no more interest.

 

The barbarian can't compete...

ok but  I asked about specific skill and its mechanics  with carnage/crits/aoe, not  whole opinion about characters ;p

[theBalthazar]

So, wait then. ; )

A misguided response is better than no answer for me. Others may tell you the rest. I'm not programmer

 

Probably increasing range/size of carnage is apply but not crits of carnage.

 

easy to understand...

Hey everyone,

 

Just to clarify the issue, the +25% to AOE is actually a text bug. Barbaric Blow doesn't have that ability included, so I wrote up a bug that the AOE text needs to be removed.

 

Thanks!

While playing PoE for the first time, I ran into this "text bug". After searching to figure out what the +25% ability aoe meant when it also said carnage was not affected, I ended up here.

 

It has been several months and a handful of patches since this bug report was created and it still hasn't been fixed.  A text tweak should be a 5 sec fix barring any localization hurdles. Can some dev make sure this bug wasn't falsely marked as completed?
