A fun and argument-filled ranking of the Barbarian's Top Ten skills. Plus "Firebug" wizards take over the rankings, Jay Wilson leaves Blizzard, and the Warcraft movie. Featuring Cpt. Goldfish, Aahz, and Flux.
0:30 -- Intro and format of the "Top Ten class" skills conversation.
3:30 -- Wizard Firebird "Firebug" Set bug not getting fixed and class imbalance.
17:00 -- Jay Wilson leaves Blizzard. Six years too late? Exit reactions and JW memories...
25:00 -- Warcraft Movie! Complete disinterest from both guests gives controversy-seeking Flux a sad.
32:30 -- Barbarian and top ten skills discussion begins. #10: Earthquake!
37:00 -- Frenzy! Aahz finds some rare agreement in skill opinions. But all the other Primary skills are boring melee attacks?
42:00 -- Threatening Shout: Grim Harvest.
47:40 -- Ancient Spear? Cool in the days of PvP, and now Boulder Tossing for laughs.
50:30 -- Leap. Everyone loves Death from Above.
51:50 -- Wrath of the Berzerker. Good or Bad? Either useless or too powerful, varying from each patch.
57:00 -- Whirlwind. Fun even when not effective. Better skill design in D2 when attack speed and weapon range factored in.
59:00 -- Hammer of the Ancients. Hulk smash! Opinions differ.
1:01:30 -- Aahz's #1 Barb skill: Furious Charge!
1:02:50 -- Captain Goldfish's #1 Barb skill: Rend! (Flux's sigh of dismay ensues.)
1:06:00 -- Sprint, one of the best-designed Barb skills?
1:09:00 -- Call of the Ancients; appropriate in lore for Barb to have powerful minions?
1:11:00 -- Barbarian Passives. Most of them are still vastly better than almost every other class' passives. JW's legacy?
1:17:30 -- The rise of ZDPS and support Barbs. Inappropriate for the class archetype?
