Diablo 4 DPS Check: Rogue Skyrockets While Barb Feels Weak

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.

What’s in the video

  • Hands-on damage check comparing Barb basics versus a poison Rogue’s ramp.
  • Rogue dots tick rapidly and compound when bosses remain stationary.
  • Barb damage stalls without consistent vulnerable or ideal setups.
  • Commentary that other classes enjoy more AOE, speed, and Unstoppable.
  • Live reactions to DPS meters spiking on the Rogue during a boss burn.
  • Frustration that Barb feels weak relative to “the rest of the roster.”
  • Speculation about balance direction and whether further tuning is needed.
  • Humorous asides during long encounters that emphasize pacing issues.
  • Observation that gear/build conditions heavily influence perceived strength.
  • Conclusion that current patch balance leaves Barb in a rough spot.

Receipts

“Just seeing how weak Barb is now just feels bad.”

“This Rogue… keeps skyrocketing up the damage.”

“You just need the boss to stand still.”
