It would be nice to see the melee barb sets get some love. Some of them have some nice procs, but that’s it. They are all weirdly unsynchronized with the corresponding skill lines. The dual wielding set.... no dual wielding skills that would benefit from that set. That set could be turned into some sort of screaming eagle set with a throwing axe and either a sword or axe for a multi hit skill. The sword/shield set has some of the better pieces (particularly the shield with its orb proc, that’s good) but it would better if it worked in line with sword skill line and lightning skills/procs/pierce. The two handed axe set would be great if it was more cold focused to boost death gaze/ice burst.

Just a thought. Would like to see melee barb get some sort of love for the mid game and allow them to get out of TUs sooner without dumping shrines and fighting the crafting process.

dual wielding set was good when it givin you nefalem spirit on top of runemaster, and it more oriented to dealing cold damage. Dont see any point to make it a 2hander set. Set with shield and sword not bad, maybe its wold be better with lighting pierce as its would be natural to sword tree. You shold test those 2 sets, they not worse then any late game gear. Wearing a set you should fill your skill points in a right way, othervice it would not work (to know how - it depends on countles tries, tests) Know for sure - tundra set lack some lifesteal even with maxed bear stance, it require a runemaster which fills sokets with runes, in that case you have no space to put lifesteal gems. With gladiator set i see no issues. Other sets i dont like.
