Maybe Barb Masteries need a bump up

[Swarmalicious]

Frenzy seems to have been vastly improved (max Double Swing, max Berserk, max Frenzy for 345% dmg), and now it allows up to 20% magic damage (and there are very few magic immunes).

The damage here does look impressive - but the downside seems to be that, with realistically only about 80 skill points to spend, the barbarian is will be left hanging in terms of his remaining skills. The burly barb everyone's used to loses a whole lot of his resilience without being able to max Battle Orders.

Its down to choosing between resilience or damage output. The days of the stand-alone barb really do seem to be over - I've been trying for days to get great damage out of a barb who has maxed Bo as a jump off point, and it just doesn't add up - at least in terms of maxing 'classic' things like BO & Mastery.

On a related note - does the Concentrate animation have to be so lame? Its a solid way to go, but its yawn inducing.
