I remember the days when I could hop on my barb and enjoy my favorite build, Deathgaze.
It was really fun and felt balanced, I miss it and i'm sure lots of people do as well.
I don't understand why it was removed, (too op? then nerf it!) It can still be used as an Oskill on

, but this is probably the crappiest TU weapon there is and you definitely won't be able to use it late game, not to mention it won't work with lots of weapon specific skill trees. Also the oskill doesn't seem to do cold damage like spell used to do, hard to tell but I may be wrong (damage in stats tab is white, not blue.)
Can we have it added as an oskill to more items at the very least? And it would be a dream to have it added back to barb, especially in it's own cold damage/axe based tree, I think it would be amazing. Not trying to complain too much but it was a huge disappointment and made my favorite class less fun.

Thoughts?

I'm with you. Was one of my favorite median skills as well. Hopefully we get to see it on a SU/RW axe in the future. Would give us a nice farming option on bear too.

+1. It would be nice to have not only GT barb/Ele azure barb good enough in high labs in future version.

I enjoyed that skill aswell, was nice with homing missiles. Good call to bring it back on relic/s(s)u:s/crafts. (:

It was good for clear because of PMSD bug which more than tripled its damage since barb had a lot of spell dmg back then from buffs prenerf, if they add it back it would have to be way more %wdm on it that it was otherwise it would be much weaker than other skills
