the barbarian right now seems like the ultimate class in d3 right now. Superstition, No Escape, and Juggernaut look amazing for pvp.

You can tell the people that have never played D2... !@#$ing idiot 14 year olds.. Or they played runescape and finally decided to play a blizzard game cuz they are followers and saw how popular WoW became... OORRRR they came from some other pos game like Everquest.. Get off of here with your %!*gy questions and comments.. People like me are trying to %^- over how great diablo will be now that they are playing it 10+ years older than when they started playing Diablo 2

@Blaksife: You sound angry. Even if it is for a good reason, you should probably keep it to yourself or find a better way to ventilate your troll food than posting on an online forum.

Nerves of Steel, Tough as Nails, and Relentless /w warcry + impunity for resistances
With monster types like Armaddon doing 170k minimum physical damage per hit in Act IV Inferno even with 80% physical damage reduction you'll still take 34k damage minimum. Vitality will be critical, and for barbs it'll pair with damage reduction.

uhhh mud.. everyclass is super dependant on gear? oh.. and u can craft gear close to the quality of legendary.. blizz says legendary wont even be the best stuff u can get.. crafting will be super expensive.. it already is.. in the beta its impossible to have to much gold unlike d2 when u never needed more then 100 to repair ur gear.. good blues sell for less than 100 gold... its hard to get it!

The barb is really strong, but hes super dependent on weapons and gear kinda like in the older diablo. Not saying he cant kill well, but if you get him the right gear hes is % scaled and unstoppable

So is my barb maths correct:
- 3x5 primary skills = 15 (including runes to manipulate skills in different ways - I'm not counting the base skill cuz you'll probably always use a rune)
- 4x5 secondary skills = 20
- 4x5 defensive skills = 20
- 4x5 might skills = 20
- 4x5 tactics skills = 20
- 3x5 rage skills = 15
- choose any 3 of 16 passive skills = 16 C 3 = 16! / (13! * 3!)

So your total combo =
15 x 20 x 20 x 20 x 20 x 15 x (16! / 13! x 3!)
= 15^2 x 20^4 x 560
= 225 * 160,000 * 560
= 20,160,000,000 different builds! (over 20 billion builds?)

Yes yes, a lot of them will be strange/meh builds but still thats pretty staggering - coupled with how you armor yourself and what weapons you use that's pretty cool
