Level 25 WW Barbarian vs Act 1 (pt2) | Diablo Early Access Beta
0I came back to the main story quests at level 25 after doing a load of other dungeons, sidequests, and the world boss. As expected, the Vhenard boss encounter was much better at this stage thanks to a) having picked up a couple of half-decent legendaries, and b) how powerful Call of the Ancients is (far more powerful than my actual character, sadly).
Barbarian is in need of some tweaks at the low levels. I get that they'll get more powerful later on, but nobody wants to play a class that's absolute ass for the first few hours.

NOTES:
►Sidequests WERE in the Endgame beta, in all zones not just the starter area, thus I've done many of them but obviously am not talking about the ones outside the Fractured Peaks.
►I've 'only' played 217 hours of Barbarian in Diablo 3, but I really enjoy the spin2win lazy Barbarian playstyle just for mindless grinding.
►The other analogies from D3 are Wizard (182 hours) and Demon Hunter (98 hours) so I definitely don't play those classes much. (Necromancer 194 hours, Monk 279 hours, Witch Doctor 527 hours, Crusader 592 hours).
►Note that these times are only for the PC release. I also played a lot of the Switch version. Brings my total up to probably 2200 hours (I no longer have a Switch to check my play time.)
