By Diablo 4 DPS Check: Rogue Skyrockets While Barb Feels Weak
- Poison Rogue ramps to massive sustained DPS on stationary bosses.
- Barbarian feels undertuned next to other classes in similar tests.
- Discussion frames current balance as frustrating for Barb mains.
This video compares endgame performance between a poison Rogue and a Barbarian, highlighting how quickly the Rogue’s damage scales once a boss stands still. The creator points out that Barbarians feel sluggish by comparison, especially when vulnerable uptime or ideal conditions aren’t met.
Through live gameplay moments and off-the-cuff commentary, the clip underscores how class kits and QoL mechanics (auto-aim AOE, movement, Unstoppable) can swing practical DPS. The takeaway: current tuning leaves Barbarians feeling behind peers in real scenarios.
