I've laughed hard when people say Sin is best class for uber and then there is a video about Stormblast Barb killing boss in SECONDS.
I can only see they will nerf Traprat and Xbownec next ladder for some serious reasons.

Ofcourse. Sorc kills Samael in 15 mins and Barb does in 15 seconds.
It's really tilting how you've been bitching about 15s samael kill for weeks now, trying to push the narrative that we keep barb on top "for the lulz" and proceed to nerf all other classes instead. Either you're trolling or you're astronomically stupid.
That run had a lot of factors going for it:
- Snapshotted level 120 nephalem spirit providing ridiculous tri-ele damage
- New SU oversights such as off-handing wizardspike (free 70% pierce)
- Bugged Lion Stance damage
- Bugged GDR/EDR mechanisms
- Bugged defense pierce (TU light gauntlets)
- Other item oversights (i.e. Candlewake and other ridiculous EWD stacking)
- Extremely expensive full BiS setup
- Stacked +1 skill jewels and stacked UMOs
But the most important of all, all these factors combined made it even viable to completely ignore any defensive stats, and push for an even faster and ridiculous 15s kill with a glass cannon.
I'm not gonna sit and debate whether barb is good or even the best, but all these 15s samael kill comments with no context are just dumb, and apparently a lot of people like to subscribe to them. Most of these people have CLEARLY not beaten samael with barb, probably didn't even play barb at all this season. But yeah go on and keep comparing stuff to this samael run.
