I'm playing a Barbarian as my first character, but I'm only just starting Act III normal. Thus, I have questions for my fellow more-experienced Lurkers:
1) Revenge. Great ability, but what is the "giveaway" that you're ready to use it? I feel like I need Power Auras or something to yell at me that Revenge is up and ready to blow something away with. There has to be something more than just the button lighting up on my skill bar.
2) Do you forsee Barbarians becoming "tanks" in the traditional sense of damage-soakers in later difficulties? Just looking at various skill combinations, plus the use of shields, seems to imply that it would be a viable route when grouping in Inferno difficulty. I still haven't figured out how aggro works in Diablo III, but it feels like mobs stick pretty well to the players who damage them first. As a Barbarian, if I'm running ahead and engaging enemies earlier than my ranged partners, I seem to be able to provide them a lot of cover.
3) Is Frenzy as awesome later on as it seems now? Any time I'm fighting a single boss-type, I switch to Frenzy and just wail on the poor thing once it's built up to a 5 stack. It let me own the heck out of Belial last night. But if fights later on become more hit-and-run because standing in melee range of anything too long is a death sentence, then this skill is not going to stand up.
